Recorded industry Cement<\/a> <\/strong>Saudi Arabia showed a remarkable performance during August 2025, as the total sales of companies operating in the sector increased by 9% year-on-year, reaching about 4.6 million tons, compared to 4.2 million tons in August 2024, according to data released by Yamama Cement Company.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Strong growth in the local market<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

The increase was supported by a rebound in domestic sales, which rose by 10.8% to about 4.47 million tons, compared to 4.03 million tons in the same month last year. In contrast, export sales fell significantly by nearly 40%, to just 112,000 tons, compared to 188,000 tons in August 2024.<\/p>\n

Mixed performance among companies<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

experienced Cement sales<\/a><\/strong> of 11 Saudi companies showed remarkable growth in the local market. Saudi Cement topped the list with an increase of more than 45% to 517k tons, followed by Yamama Cement with a growth of 44% to reach 745k tons, and Safwa Cement with an increase of 30% (225k tons). Other companies such as Eastern Cement, United Cement, Umm Al-Qura, Hail, and Al-Shamaliya also achieved increases ranging from 8% to 23%.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the sales of 6 companies declined, most notably Al-Jouf Cement, which recorded a sharp decline of 29%, limiting its sales to 101k tons. Qassim Cement's sales fell by 11%, while companies such as Medina, Tabuk, and Najran Cement saw declines ranging from 5 to 7%.<\/p>\n

Cement exports. Significant fall<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

On the export front, exports in August 2025 were limited to just three companies, totaling 112k tons. Saudi Cement took the lead with 89,000 tons, followed by Najran Cement with 22,000 tons, while Al-Jouf Cement contributed only 1,000 tons. Total exports fell from 193,000 tons in June to 112,000 tons in August, a sign that companies are facing pressure in foreign markets.<\/p>\n

Evolution of monthly sales<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Over the course of the year, the data showed fluctuating sales of Cement<\/a><\/strong>. After registering 5 million tons in January 2025, up 7% year-on-year, in March it dropped to 3.6 million tons, down slightly, then rebounded strongly in April to 4.3 million tons, up nearly 39%. In August, sales stabilized at 4.6 million tons, up 8.5% from the same month last year.<\/p>\n

Clinker Production and Stocks<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

On the clinker front, the data showed that production fell by 3% in August 2025, reaching 4.6 mn tons compared to 4.8 mn tons in the previous year. Inventories stood at 44.56 million tons, down slightly from 44.76 million tons in August 2024.<\/p>\n

According to the details, Southern Cement led the companies in terms of inventory size at 7.2 million tons, followed by Yanbu Cement with 4.9 million tons, while Yamama Cement recorded an increase in its inventory from 4.3 to 4.9 million tons during the comparative period.<\/p>\n

Clinker exports Yanbu in the lead<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Clinker exports saw more activity than cement exports, with six companies exporting a total of 541k tons in August 2025. Yanbu Cement topped the list with 286,000 tons, followed by Saudi Cement with 138,000 tons, while Southern, Northern, Al-Jouf and Al-Safwa contributed smaller quantities.<\/p>\n

The recent performance of Saudi cement companies reflects the strength of the domestic market, which is the main driver of growth, against notable pressures on the export side. The decline in clinker production and the stabilization of inventories at high levels indicate the companies' tendency to adjust production in line with demand, at a time when internal competition remains strong among companies to achieve greater market shares.<\/p>\n
