AFRICA'S CEMENT INDUSTRY IS MOVING — FAST!
Africa's cement industry is entering a new phase—where growth, investment and decarbonisation are increasingly becoming one strategic agenda.
Across the continent, major projects are already demonstrating this shift. CIMAT/CIMAF is advancing investments in green energy and lower-carbon cement production in West and Central Africa, while major producers continue to expand capacity to meet Africa's growing infrastructure needs. At the same time, industrial-scale calcined clay production in Ghana is demonstrating that lower-clinker cement is moving from technology promise to commercial reality.
Against this rapidly changing backdrop, the 15th Africa Cementrade Summit in Casablanca, Morocco aims to examine the investments, technologies and strategies shaping the industry's next chapter.
WHAT'S DRIVING THE TRANSFORMATION?
Growth & Investment — Where will Africa's next cement capacity come from, and where are the most attractive investment opportunities?
Digitalisation & AI — How can cement producers turn industrial data into operational performance and competitive advantage?
Low-Carbon Production — From alternative fuels, renewable energy and WHR to CO₂ capture, LC3 and calcined clay, which solutions can scale commercially?
CBAM & Global Trade — How will carbon regulation, shifting trade flows, freight costs and supply-chain risks reshape African cement competitiveness?
Financing the Transition — What will it take to make large-scale decarbonisation projects bankable?
Industrial Reality — What can Africa learn from projects already moving from pilot stage to full-scale production?
