Sub-Saharan Africa Cement Market Report and Forecast 2023-2028


Market Outlook

According to the report by Expert Market Research (EMR), the Sub-Saharan Africa cement market is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 4% between 2023 and 2028. Aided by the increasing urbanisation and infrastructural development and various favourable government policies, the market is expected to grow significantly by 2028.

Cement, a crucial component in the construction industry, is an indispensable part of projects ranging from small household repairs to grand infrastructure development. The material is critical for the strength and durability of structures. Cement plays an instrumental role in economic development as its production often mirrors the growth trajectory of a nation.

The increasing urbanisation and population growth in the Sub-Saharan region have led to an upsurge in housing demand, propelling the Sub-Saharan Africa cement market expansion. Governments and private sector players are investing in large-scale housing projects to accommodate the rapidly growing urban populations. This growth in the real estate sector is a primary driver of cement consumption.

The Sub-Saharan Africa cement market growth is also boosted by an escalating demand for infrastructure development. Governments across the region are focusing on improving infrastructure, such as roads, bridges, and public buildings, to enhance their nations' economic prospects. Furthermore, large-scale projects like dams and power plants are providing impetus to the cement industry.

The versatility of cement and its applications across various industries is another significant factor contributing to the Sub-Saharan Africa cement market development. For instance, in the water treatment industry, cement is extensively used in constructing water treatment plants. Similarly, the mining industry employs cement for mine safety purposes, reinforcing tunnels, and backfilling mine stopes.

Moreover, a surge in development projects in rural areas is aiding the Sub-Saharan Africa cement market growth. The governments of Sub-Saharan countries are focusing on rural development and are therefore investing in rural infrastructure, such as rural roads and community buildings, which is driving the demand for cement.

Lastly, the increasing focus on sustainable and environment-friendly construction materials has led to innovations in the cement industry. Companies are developing green cement, which reduces carbon footprint and conserves natural resources. This shift towards sustainable development is anticipated to open new avenues for Sub-Saharan Africa cement market development.
