As a result of the war, Ukraine's cement industry has fallen from its peak and is looking for exports to survive. In 2021, the output was 11 million tons, which dropped sharply to 5.4 million tons in 2022, and then slowly climbed to 8 million tons in 2025, but there is still a gap. The structure of demand has changed, infrastructure and defense projects have become big buyers in the short term, and domestic consumption has shown signs of weakness. Excess capacity is balanced by exports, and the proportion of export volume will rise to 21% in 2024. With the increase of market concentration and the monopoly of production capacity by several large kilns, CRH is expected to bring capital and enhance competitiveness to the industry if the acquisition is successful.
