Pakistan’s cement industry is set to grow by 2.4% year-on-year in Fiscal Year 2025.
This follows a 2% year-on-year increase in FY24, with total volumes reaching 45.29 million tons.
The FY24 growth was driven by a surge in exports, compensating for a seven-year low in domestic sales due to higher cement prices following an increase in Federal Excise Duty (FED) in the FY25 budget.

Despite price hikes, analysts remain optimistic about the sector, expecting growth driven by export demand, vigorous gross margins, strong earnings, and monetary easing policies.
Moreover, companies like Lucky Cement, Fauji Cement, and Maple Leaf Cement are highlighted as strong investment picks. The cement industry, crucial for Pakistan’s infrastructure, is navigating regulatory changes and export opportunities to sustain growth.
In addition, stakeholders will monitor market dynamics, regulatory shifts, and global economic trends to gauge the industry’s future performance.
