In a year where many sectors struggled with internal slowdowns, Pakistan’s cement industry stood tall on the global stage. According to industry reports, cement exports jumped 29.5% year-on-year, reaching over 9.2 million tonnes and helping the sector surpass the 46 million tonne mark for total shipments.
The southern region’s performance was especially remarkable, posting a 33% surge in exports. Meanwhile, June 2025 exports alone grew by a staggering 81.7%, signaling increasing global interest in Pakistani materials.
This marks a pivotal shift toward export-led resilience. By leaning into global markets, the industry not only sustained output but also brought valuable foreign exchange into the economy a clear win for trade, jobs, and economic confidence.
As Pakistan looks to broaden its export base, the cement sector is laying the foundation literally and economically for a stronger tomorrow.
