Pakistan’s cement industry posted record profitability of Rs. 182 billion in fiscal year 2025-26, equivalent to around $649 million, the sector’s strongest earnings performance on record.
Sector profitability recorded a compound annual growth rate of 12.3 percent during the period. According to Topline Securities, this was supported by higher gross profit, a recovery in domestic cement sales and lower finance costs.
The earnings improvement came as cement demand strengthened across the local market. Total cement dispatches increased 7.21 percent to 50.52 million tons in FY26, while domestic sales rose 9.5 percent to 41.51 million tons.
The positive trend has continued into the new fiscal year. Domestic cement dispatches increased 7.35 percent year-on-year to 3.788 million tons in September 2026. Total dispatches rose 5.95 percent to 4.621 million tons, while exports remained broadly unchanged at 832,173 tons.
During the first quarter of FY27, total cement dispatches increased 3.88 percent to 13.141 million tons. Domestic dispatches grew 7.79 percent to 10.845 million tons, although exports declined 11.32 percent to 2.296 million tons.
