Rwanda's construction industry is experiencing an unprecedented boom, with prices for cement, steel, sand, gravel and timber generally rising sharply and often running out of stock for long periods. The trend of producer price index (PPI) in 2025 shows that the cost of building materials has increased by 5-10% on average. Among them, non-metallic mineral products (such as cement and lime) rose by 21% in the first quarter.
