Dublin, May 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “MENA Cement Market Size and Share – Outlook Report, Forecast Trends and Growth Analysis (2025-2034)” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The MENA cement market attained a volume of about 756.12 MMT in 2024. The market is further expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.50% during the forecast period of 2025-2034 to reach nearly 1291.56 MMT by 2034.
The MENA market for cement is being driven by the robust construction projects carried out in countries like the UAE and Saudi Arabia over the recent years. The rise in commercial construction can be associated with the rapid investments in tourism and robust industrialisation, owing to which there has been a significant rise in the construction offices and other public buildings, which is a major factor augmenting the demand for cement in the region. In addition, Egypt and Saudi Arabia are significantly adding to the market demand in terms of increasing factory numbers and production capacity. These are some of the factors positively influencing the market growth in the region.
Moreover, the region has been witnessing a surge in its population levels owing to urbanisation and robust job opportunities, thereby inviting people from all over the world. This has led to a rise in residential construction projects over the past years, thus augmenting the demand for cement in the MENA region. In addition to this, other indirect factors like inflating disposable incomes, changing consumer lifestyles, and the growth in reconstruction projects are additional factors providing impetus to the market growth.
Rising Construction Projects in the Region are Expected to Lead the Market Growth of Cement in the MENA Region
The MENA market for cement witnessed a restrained growth in the historical period owing to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of pandemic induced restrictions, several manufacturing, construction, and import-export industries remained shut during 2020, thereby negatively impacting the market growth in the region. In addition, a number of cement manufacturing industries in the region witnessed a negative international trade during the lockdown period, thereby hampering the market growth
However, major construction projects are predicted in countries like Saudi Arabia, such as the development of NEOM city and the 2023 Qatar World Cup, which are projected to drive the growth of the regional market during the forecast period. In addition, with ease in travel restrictions, countries like UAE are expected to undertake various construction projects, thus the invigorated demand for cement is projected to push the growth of the market. In line with this, the ongoing EXPO-2020 exhibition in Dubai is positively impacting the market growth of cement in the region.
