"Transformation in Africa's cement market & spotlight on high growth region!"

 

Many countries in Africa are investing in cement production with the aim to achieve self-sufficiency. Cement & grinding plants are under construction from DR Congo, South Africa, Ghana, Algeria, Mozambique to Kenya, Ethiopia and many more! How will it change the dynamic in the region and trade flow when all the announced projects come on-stream?

 

African companies are expanding beyond their homeland to boost their earnings. Cement leaders like Dangote Cement, PPC, CIMAF, ARM Cement & etc have several projects operating or under-construction across Africa. What are their plans in the next 5 years and where are the hot spots to focus on? Can the producers compete with cheaper imports from Asia?

 

Energy cost remains a challenge in Africa and what are the options available for cement producers and new investors? Are consistent & affordable power supply a reality in the very near future?  

 

CMT’s 7th Africa Cementrade Summit brings together the who’s who in the cement industry in exciting Africa!

Industry News

 

German cement producer, HeidelbergCement AG, is planning to expand into South Africa and Mozambique with new cement production capacities in these two countries.

 

The world's third-biggest cement maker sees Africa as an important market as there is stable growth in demand for cement in the last few years - demand increasing at approximately 5 million metric tons per year.

 

The German company has recently opened a $50 million grinding plant in the West African country - Ouagadougou that will produce 700,000 metric tons of cement per year. The new capacity expansion in Burkina Faso will help Heidelberg's annual capacity in Africa to about 10 million tons. Heidelberg is also building a $300 million clinker facility in Togo that will help with raw material supply to the Burkina Faso grinding plant.

 

HeidelbergCement has cement production capacity in Ghana, Benin, Liberia, Tanzania, Sierra Leone, Togo and Democratic Republic of Congo.

 

Apart from Heidelberg, many cement manufacturers have targeted the high cement demand in Africa. Nigeria's cement major - Dangote Cement Plc is the continent's biggest producer of the building material. Dangote has ambitious plans of expanding operations into 14 African countries apart from its stronghold on the home market - Nigeria. It has plans of investing about $4 billion to boost capacity to 50 million tons by the end of 2015.

 

Meanwhile, in South Africa, PPC Ltd. and AfriSam are aiming to merge the country's two biggest cement makers in order to boost expansion in the region.

 

7th Africa CemenTrade Summit on 14-15 April, 2015 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia will feature several discussions led by cement majors like - HeidelbergCement AG, Dangote Cement Plc, Tanzania Portland Cement Company Ltd (Twiga Cement), East African Portland Cement Co Ltd, Savannah Cement Ltd, ARM Cement and many others.

Nairobi based cement manufacturer Savannah Cement is aiming to capture the demand in East African countries in 2015. It is encouraging development projects worth $300 million there.

 

Savannah has current installed production capacity of approximately 1.5 million metric tonnes to meet the regional demand.

 

The cement manufacturer is already doing brisk business in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and South Sudan.

 

While in Tanzania, Savannah has engaged dealers in Arusha and Mwanza to cover the country's inland cement demand, it also plans to bring in dealers in Rwanda and Burundi. Rwanda and Burundi's economies are doing well and Savannah plans to capture its demand.

 

The manufacturer plans to start a clinker manufacturing facility and commission its second grinding plant. It has also invested more than $100 million to develop advanced and eco-friendly cement-making plants in sub-Saharan Africa.

 

More on Africa's booming cement market will be shared at CMT's mega event - 7th Africa CemenTrade Summit on 14-15 April, 2015 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Dangote Cement is on a major expansion spree outside of Nigeria. The cement major is keen on tapping the extensive infrastructure growth in Africa and has already invested more than $5 billion in projects in various parts of the continent.

 

Most recently, Dangote has started production at its $600 million plant in South Africa, that will produce 2.2 million tons of cement annually.

 

The cement giant has also plans to commence production at its Senegal and Ethiopia plants soon, while its cement factory in Sierra Leone will be able to start operations once the Ebola crisis in the country is abated.

 

The cement major has more projects lined up in Cameroon, Kenya and Niger and is coming up with a plant in Zambia. The company has already applied for a licence to build a 75 MW coal fired electricity plant to power its Zambia plant.

 

Dangote Cement is estimated to earmark $1.4 billion this year in capital spending, but the company will bring down the figure to $700 million in 2015.

 

More on Africa's booming cement market will be shared at CMT's mega event - 7th Africa CemenTrade Summit on 14-15 April, 2015 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
