Morocco's Cement Market Faces Year-on-Year Decline
In May 2026, Morocco experienced a substantial drop in cement deliveries, which totaled 1.21 million tonnes (Mt), marking a notable decrease of 20% compared to the 1.53 Mt recorded in May 2025. This decline reflects ongoing challenges within the construction sector and the broader economic landscape affecting the region. The data, which highlights this downturn, was released by the Ministry of National Territorial Planning, Urban Planning, Housing, and Urban Policy. Furthermore, when examining the cumulative figures for the first five months of 2026, cement deliveries stood at 5.73 Mt, indicating a 5% decrease from the previous year's total of 6.05 Mt during the same period. These statistics are derived from internal reports compiled by members of the Professional Association of Cement Manufacturers (APC), which includes prominent industry players such as Asment Temara, Ciments de L’Atlas, Ciments du Maroc, LafargeHolcim Maroc, and Novacim.
