Islamabad – Pakistan – Cement manufacturers across the country have seen a remarkable 125% increase in sales despite widespread flood devastation. This surge comes as reconstruction efforts ramp up in flood-stricken areas, creating a surge in demand for building materials.
Manufacturers report a notable rise in orders from affected regions, driven by communities and government agencies mobilizing to rebuild damaged infrastructure and homes. While challenging conditions persist—particularly disruptions in road networks and logistics—companies are striving to ensure timely deliveries and maintain supply chains.
Industry analysts view this growth as a benchmark for resilience, noting that cement demand typically declines during economic turmoil. The current uptick signifies not only a fast-track recovery in affected communities but also highlights the critical role of construction in reviving local economies.
