"Meeting cement demand & investments
in Sub-Sahara Africa"
Africa - Global 'Hot Spot' where demand exceeds supply!
"A Nigerian company, Dangote, is building a new cement factory in Senegal worth 250 billion francs CFA, Abdou Kader Mbacke, Director General of Dangote Senegal, a subsidiary of the group, announced on 30 Nov in Dakar."

"Les Ciments du Sahel is now producing at full capacity and continued strong demand has led the company to expand its production capacity, which is on schedule to be completed by mid 2010"

Africa's cement market is booming. Growth is accelerating with new cement expansions and investments across the continent. The housing boom and infrastructure development have prompted governments to source for cement to meet local demand. Investment incentives are rolled out to attract investments into respective countries but with power supply irregularities, how are investors managing? How are local producers coping with the influx of cement when the government lifts the ban on cement?
The Egyptian cement industry has remained strong throughout the global financial downturn. Whilst other countries in the MENA region are threatened by over capacity, exports from Egypt have been banned since April 2009 and the ban will continue until at least Oct 2010. Imports, meanwhile, are still going strong, with some 1 million ton imported in August alone.

A group of cement traders in East Africa are calling for the scrapping of cement duty, to address the biting cement deficit in the region, which they argue, is hampering the full potential of the building and construction industry and economic growth.
Kenya’s major newspaper “The Standard” recently ran a story on the issue, and reported statistics from the East African Cement Producers Association (EACPA). According to the EACPA, the region is facing a 700,000 tons annual deficit, because local cement manufacturers have a production capacity of only 5.5 million tonnes per annum, against a demand of 6.2 million tonnes.
If import duties are scrapped, the cost of a 50kg bag of cement could reduce by as much as 60%, but the proposal could have a deep impact on the region’s established cement manufacturers, who have come out strongly against the proposal.
The article postulates that $1.1 billion in investments and 10,000 jobs could be lost if import duties are abolished and the local cement industry collapses. Governments in the region also stand to lose billions of dollars in revenues from the duties collected.
And by 2013 it is projected there will be a surplus of about three million tonnes of cement a year in East Africa, as producers increase their capacity, and new producers enter the industry.
The upcoming 2nd Africa CemenTrade conference in Dakar, Senegal will offer a cement producer’s view on the East African Cement & Clinker Markets, providing perspectives on this crucial debate and the road ahead. Peter Korir, Head of Strategy and Technology Development at East African Portland Cement Co., Ltd will discuss:
- Demand/supply outlook & drivers
- Domestic production capacities & trade flow
- Dealing with influx of imported cement
- Investment/expansion plans update
- Fuels & raw materials issues
- Challenges ahead
