Cement consumption in Spain grew by 7.5 per cent YoY in January to 1,134,659t, reported the Spanish cement association, Oficemen. In the moving year (February 2024-January 2025) demand edged up by 3.5 per cent YoY to 14.983Mt.
Export sales expanded by 11.5 per cent to 322,800t in January 2025 from 289,586t in January 2024. However, in the moving year, exports were down 5.2 per cent to below 5Mta.
“In this sense, we are cautiously observing the evolution of the US tariff measures, since it is the fourth destination for Spanish cement exports, with 11% of the total. However, we are confident that sales to the intra-community market, in which Spain maintains a leading position, will remain stable,” said Oficemen's General Director, Aniceto Zaragoza.
