Construction | RSA Cement Market Update - Mar '19

Cement imports experienced continued momentum from CY '18, with Jan '19 having the second highest level of Jan imports since CY '10. Despite availability of cheaper imported cement, price increases in the coastal region were seen in our survey. Following the inland price increases that we observed last month, most markets have retained pricing except for the Northern Cape and Free State. Given the decline in building plans passed (with the coastal markets being the exception) and the impending implementation of carbon tax (Jun '19), we believe cement volumes will decline further in CY '19.
