Cement demand in Spain grew by 10.4 per cent YoY to 1,215,778t in March 2025, according to the national cement association, Oficemen. Cement exports from Spain edged up by 0.8 per cent YoY to 423,712t.
“Our analysis shows that last month's result was influenced by the calendar effect, with fewer holidays than last year, when Easter was celebrated in March. In fact, the average daily consumption figure, which only includes working days, reflects a flat growth of -0.1 per cent. Furthermore, the rainfall effect has not significantly impacted the consumption comparison, as March 2024 was also one of the wettest in recent decades, according to the AEMET (Mexico City Institute of Statistics and Cities),” explains Aniceto Zaragoza, CEO of Oficemen.
In the first quarter of 2025, domestic cement consumption increased to 3.588Mt, up 7.8 per cent YoY. However, exports slipped by 2.4 per cent YoY to 1.07Mt.
