Italy's Cement Output Fell 18% Year-on-Year in February

en.Wedoany.com Reported - The latest data released by the Italian concrete association Federbeton shows that Italy's cement output in February 2026 fell 18% year-on-year, compared with a 1% year-on-year decline in January. Adverse weather dampened domestic demand, coupled with weak export demand, which may have been the main drag on output for the month.

Import and export data for the same period also showed a contraction trend. In January, Italy's cement imports fell 14% year-on-year to 166,177 tonnes, with a total CIF value of €14.1 million, equivalent to €85 per tonne. Cement exports fell 42% year-on-year to 56,854 tonnes, with a total FOB value of €5.7 million, equivalent to €100 per tonne. In terms of prices, cement prices rose 4% year-on-year in February.

Looking at the first two months of 2026 combined, Italy's cement output fell 11% year-on-year. The output decline was 1% in January, which widened significantly in February, reflecting a gradual weakening of market demand since the beginning of the year. Federbeton's data covers Italian cement production, import and export trade, and price changes.
