Significant Drop in Cement Deliveries
Cement deliveries from members of the Professional Association of Cement Manufacturers (APC) reached 1,044,130 tons in January 2026. This figure represents a substantial decline of 18.78% compared to 1,285,613 tons delivered during the same month last year.
Impact of Weather on Construction Activities
The decrease in deliveries coincides with unusually high rainfall throughout January, a condition that typically hampers construction activities, particularly in major works. This weather pattern has led to delays in construction projects and, consequently, a slowdown in cement supply.
Comparison with Previous Month's Deliveries
For context, cement deliveries in December 2025 were recorded at 1.098 million tons, reflecting a decrease of approximately 15% compared to December 2024.
