Cement production and consumption is constantly changing every year due to fluctuations in the construction industry, ongoing construction projects and other factors. Due to these changes, it is not possible to specify a fixed number for the production and consumption of cement. In order to further inform consumers and study official statistics, the table below provides information about the amount of cement production and consumption. These data have been prepared based on the official and valid statistics announced and through it it can be concluded that the amount of cement production every year is more than the amount of its consumption.
As a result of the following information, Iran has reached full self-sufficiency in cement production and can meet the country’s domestic demand for cement.
| Year | The amount of cement production | Amount of cement consumption |
| 1377 | 20 thousand tons | 20 thousand tons |
| 1383 | 33 thousand tons | 31 thousand tons |
| 1389 | 61 thousand tons | 50 thousand tons |
| 1392 | 68 thousand tons | 56 thousand tons |
| 1394 | 58 thousand tons | 49 thousand tons |
| 1396 | 70 thousand tons | 58 thousand tons |
| 1398 | 61 thousand tons | 43 thousand tons |
| 1399 | 68 thousand tons | 53 thousand tons |
| 1400 | 62 thousand tons | 59 thousand tons |
Cement production in Iran has a long and professional background that has been professionally producing various types of high quality cement for more than 70 years. In recent years, facing problems such as electricity restrictions and problems in fuel supply, the amount of cement production has decreased by a few percent compared to the previous decades. The main reason for this decrease in production is due to electrical restrictions and insufficient fuel supply. These factors have caused cement factories to not be able to work at full capacity and their production rate has decreased. In addition, with the increase in prices and economic problems, the amount of demand has also decreased.
With these descriptions, cement production in 1401 has faced a 5% decrease compared to previous years. However, considering that cement production is considered as one of the country’s growth and development indicators, all factories and production units are trying to achieve the goal of producing more than 70 thousand tons of cement per year despite the limitations. do According to government plans, this determination was to increase cement production in 1401 and the production is 70 thousand tons of cement, of which domestic consumption is more than 64 thousand tons and about 6 thousand tons are imported to the export market.
