    Report Coverage

    This report covers the manufacture of cement, limestone and plaster in Malawi. It includes information on the state and size of the industry, its major players, developments and significant influencing factors, including illegal and cheap imports, input costs, the economic environment and opportunities for SMEs and entrepreneurs. There are profiles of six companies including the four major players Shayona, Cement Products, Portland Cement and Bwanje Cement, as well as notable industry role players Terrastone and Balaka Limestone Supply Company.

    The Manufacture of Cement in Malawi

    The Malawi cement industry is dominated four major players, and is under threat from low cost imports and an illegal industry that is said to account for almost a third of sales. Demand for cement is expected to continue based on urbanisation and population growth that will result in demand for housing, and increased government infrastructure development as more projects are rolled out, particularly in civil roads infrastructure development. Challenges of power blackouts of eight to 12 hours a day that have been affecting the industry may be reduced as the government embarks on an ambitious project to rehabilitate and modernise the power system.

    State of the Industry

    Cement consumption is relatively low in Malawi compared to the rest of sub-Saharan Africa due to slow urbanisation, poor infrastructure and high levels of poverty. Malawi’s cement market is small, but expected to grow, and industry players continue to invest in upgrading plant and machinery and expanding distribution networks. However, there is a lack of new investment in the industry. Role players continue to face constraints including electricity blackouts, shortage of foreign currency to import raw materials for production and unfair competition from cheap imports which have flooded the Malawian market and posed a threat to local cement manufacturers. Future demand is expected to result in increased production of raw materials such as limestone, iron ore and kaolinitic clays.

    Report Coverage

    This report on the manufacture of cement, lime and plaster in Malawi includes comprehensive information on the state and size of the sector and the factors that influence it, including regulations and the state of infrastructure and imports. There are profiles of four companies including Lafarge, a subsidiary of the multinational LafargeHolcim Group, which is Malawi’s largest cement manufacturer and distributor, and Shayona, whose operations include limestone quarrying, clinker production and cement manufacturing. The other companies profiled are CPL (Cement Products Ltd) and Terrastone.

    The Manufacture of Cement, Lime and Plaster in Malawi

    Cement products are inextricably bound to the construction sector and are core building blocks of Malawi’s socio-economic development agenda. The Malawian market for cement and related products is small by global and regional standards, but demand for cement products is expected to increase. The competitiveness of the local cement industry continues to be undermined by the high cost of production while cheap imports, which have flooded the Malawian market during the past decade are a significant threat to local manufacturers.

    Imports

    Malawi has the raw materials, clinker and cement production capacity to meet local requirements, but continues to import substantial volumes of lime, clinker and cement. Local distributors and builders say it is often cheaper and easier to source cement from neighbouring countries due to the inadequacy of distribution networks. The September announcement of new import duties follows calls for anti-dumping regulations based on concerns of job losses in the sector. Government has said that cement import licences have been granted to supplement the local production deficit and promote competitive pricing.

    Attracting Investment

    During the past five years, Malawi’s cement industry has attracted billions of kwacha of investments including plant upgrades, investment in training and development, and a plant to provide clinker locally to producers.
