Positive Trends in Morocco's Cement Deliveries
In a notable development for the construction sector, Morocco's cement market reported a year-on-year growth of 1.9% in July 2026, with total deliveries reaching 1,424,351 tons compared to 1,398,062 tons in July of the previous year. This upward trend is indicative of a recovering economy and a steady demand for cement, which is essential for various construction projects across the country. The figures were released by the Moroccan Cement Association, known as APC, highlighting the ongoing resilience of the market despite earlier fluctuations.
However, it is crucial to note that the first seven months of 2026 saw a slight decline in overall deliveries, with a year-on-year decrease of 0.8%, dropping from 8,288,358 tons in 2025 to 8,225,930 tons this year. This mixed performance could suggest varying demand patterns within the industry, potentially influenced by seasonal construction activities and broader economic factors affecting the building sector.
This data serves as a vital indicator for stakeholders in the cement and construction industries, reflecting not only current market conditions but also the potential for future growth as infrastructure development continues in Morocco. The growth in July may set a positive tone for the following months, especially if the upward trajectory can be maintained in the face of any external economic challenges.
