Pakistan's cement industry showed the most significant recovery in four years, as overall capacity utilization rose to 64% in July 2026, compared to 32% in July 2022. The improvement was broad-based, with both northern and southern regions contributing to the growth. In the North region, capacity utilization reached 56% in July 2026, up from 37% four years prior.
The South region experienced a more dramatic increase, with capacity utilization climbing to 98% in July 2026, nearly four times the level recorded in July 2022. This surge was fueled by a combination of higher domestic demand and increased cement exports, enabling manufacturers in the region to operate near full capacity. If this upward trend continues, cement manufacturers can expect further support throughout FY2027.
