PAKISTAN CEMENT INDUSTRY
Pakistan cement industry operates in two zones; North Zone and South Zone.
North Zone includes provinces of Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Azad Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan which represents ~76% of installed capacity in Pakistan. South Zone includes provinces of Sindh & Balochistan representing 24% of the installed capacity..
There are 17 cement manufacturing companies operating with 25-plant locations in the industry.
Both north and south zones have their separate demand-supply dynamics. Players operating in the South Market have the opportunity to tap a number of export markets thus providing greater room for revenue diversification.
Considering stronger local demand in North Zone, reliance on exports is lower.
Export potential for players in the North Zone is limited to Afghanistan and India.
