Argentina’s cement production increased by 9% to 0.74 Mt in February 2025. Exports rose significantly by 64% to 8,855 tons, while domestic consumption climbed 8% to 0.73 Mt. Conversely, imports fell drastically by 76% to 212 tons.
In February 2025, Argentina’s cement production reached 0.74 million tons (Mt), marking a 9% increase from 0.68 Mt in February 2024, as reported by the Asociación de Fabricantes de Cemento Portland. This growth in production is noteworthy, reflecting the country’s strengthening cement industry.
Exports played a significant role in this increase, rising to 8,855 tons, a substantial 64% year-on-year rise from 5,384 tons in February 2024. This surge in exports indicates a growing demand for Argentine cement in international markets.
Domestic consumption also demonstrated positive growth, reaching 0.73 Mt in February 2025, up 8% from 0.68 Mt in the same month the previous year. However, imports fell sharply, contributing only 212 tons, which is a decrease of 76% from 919 tons in February 2024, indicating a stronger reliance on domestic production.
The increase in Argentina’s cement production by 9% in February 2025 reflects a positive trend in the industry, driven by both a significant rise in exports and healthy domestic consumption. However, the sharp decline in imports highlights the country’s emphasis on domestic manufacturing and reduced dependence on foreign cement.
