Ethiopia’s challenging cement market

Ethiopia’s cement industry has enjoyed substantial growth in the past decade due to strong key drivers attracting foreign cement makers. However, emerging challenges linked to existing gaps in the country’s national investment policy could erode gains already achieved. Shem Oirere reports. With its nearly 16.5 million tonnes of installed cement capacity and 10% average annual consumption growth. This growth has been supported mainly by the implementation of the country’s Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP), a five-year government-backed national development programme initially conceived to help the country achieve an 11-15% annual economic growth in the period 2010-2015, Ethiopia is in the top league of cement producers in sub Saharan Africa, rivaled only by Nigeria and South Africa.
