The Peruvian cement market showed strong growth momentum in February 2026. According to the data released by the Peruvian Cement Association, the national cement shipment volume reached 1.044 million tons in that month, an increase of 10.9% over the same period last year, of which 922,000 tons were delivered by the member enterprises of the association. The production side was also active, with cement production increasing by 8.7% year-on-year to 948,000 tons and clinker production increasing by 9.7% to 824,000 tons, indicating sufficient supply of upstream raw materials, which provided strong support for the acceleration of domestic construction activities.
However, behind the booming domestic production and marketing, import and export trade shows a clear pattern of differentiation. Exports suffered setbacks, cement exports fell 13.4% year-on-year to 9600 tons, although clinker exports increased slightly by 1.4% to 37000 tons, but the overall external demand performance was weak. In sharp contrast, cement imports exploded, surging 31.1% year-on-year to 70000 tons in February, with Vietnam becoming the largest supplier with 86.7% and Chile contributing the remaining 13.3%. There were significant regional differences in import prices: the average CIF price of imports via Port of Tacna increased by 12.7% year-on-year to US $144/t, while the average CIF price of imports via Port of Chancay decreased by 6.2% to US $65/t, reflecting the differences in pricing strategies of different transportation routes and suppliers.
The clinker trade market remained relatively stable. Imports of clinker in February dropped slightly by 1.4% year-on-year to 35,600 tons, all of which came from Ecuador and entered through the port of Callao. The average CIF price was stable at $59.60 per ton, unchanged from the same period last year. This price stability contrasts with the sharp fluctuation of cement import price, and also echoes with the steady growth of domestic clinker production, indicating that Peru's cement industry chain has strong self-regulation ability and cost control level in the upstream link.
