Pakistan's domestic cement shipments are expected to contract significantly in February 2026. Although official data from the All Pakistan Cement Manufacturers Association (APCMA) is yet to be released, market expectations have pointed to a negative move. It is estimated that local shipments in February will fall by 4% year-on-year and 13% year-on-year, with a total volume of only 3.08 million tons.
Seasonal factors dominated the demand contraction
, BMA research pointed out that the month-on-month decline was mainly affected by the seasonal slowdown in Ramadan. Based on the above data, the average daily sales volume of the industry in February 2026 is expected to be 99,400 tons, which is lower than average of 113,400 tons in the same period of five years. This gap reflects that the current market activity is significantly weaker than historical norm. In contrast
to the domestic market, cement exports in February 2026 are expected to grow by 40% year-on-year, but still fall by 10% year-on-year, with a total volume of about 750000 tons. Overall, Pakistan's total cement sales in February were estimated to be about 3.83 million tons, up 3% year-on-year and down 12% year-on-year. Capacity utilization is expected to be 54.3% in February, up from 52.9% in February 2025, but down significantly from 61.9% in January 2026.
