Cement Prices in the United States:

US cement prices reached 106 USD/MT in Q4 2024, representing a 4.8% increase from the previous quarter. This price appreciation stemmed primarily from robust demand in commercial construction and infrastructure projects, which expanded by 5.3% year-over-year. Concurrently, persistent inflation in energy costs elevated production expenses by approximately 6.2%, while logistics disruptions extended delivery timeframes by 8-12 days. Industry analysts project continued upward pressure through early 2025 as capacity utilization rates exceed 92% at major production facilities.

APAC Cement Prices Movement Last Quarter:

Cement Prices in China:

Cement prices in China declined to 158 USD/MT in Q4 2024, representing a 7.6% decrease from previous quarter levels. This reduction stemmed primarily from a 12.3% contraction in real estate development activity and an 8.4% decrease in government infrastructure expenditures. Substantial market oversupply, with production capacity exceeding consumption by approximately 138 million tons, intensified price competition among manufacturers seeking to maintain market share. Despite current downward pressure, preliminary Q1 2025 data indicates potential stabilization as producers implement coordinated 5-8% production cutbacks across major manufacturing regions.

European Cement Prices Movement Last Quarter:

Cement Prices in Germany:

Cement prices in Germany fell to 42 USD/MT in Q4 2024, representing a 16% year-over-year decline.

The issuance of building permits declined by 18.7%, creating significant market oversupply as production capacity exceeded consumption by approximately 6.4 million tons. Despite current market pressures, analysts project potential stabilization in early 2025 following the central bank's signaled 50-basis-point interest rate reduction.

Is the Cement Price Going to Increase?

Cement prices in the future will be influenced by several important factors like construction sector demand, raw material costs, and the global economy. If infrastructure projects and commercial construction keep boosting demand, prices might rise, especially with supply chain issues or inflation driving up production costs.

Additionally, government efforts to stimulate the economy, such as cutting interest rates or issuing stimulus packages, could further support price hikes. On the flip side, if the housing market stays weak or there's an oversupply of cement, price increases might be restrained. Overall, while the outlook for cement prices is uncertain, there's a chance they might gradually rise, driven by strong demand and higher production costs.
