Earlier Report Observations

Sweden's portland cement market volume grew from 3.0 million metric tons in 2020 to 3.1 million metric tons in 2021. This expansion was followed by a sharp contraction, with consumption falling to 2.5 million metric tons in 2023 and then to 2.4 million metric tons in 2024.

The market value told a different story, rising from $254.7 million in 2020 to $292.7 million in 2021. Despite the volume drop, the value dipped only slightly to $284.8 million in 2023 before recovering to $299.1 million in 2024, indicating that price increases mitigated the impact of lower physical sales.
