UK cement production hits a 70-year low, threatening infrastructure plans as imports surge.
UK cement production has hit its lowest level since the 1950s, falling to 7.3 million tonnes in 2024, half of what it was in 1990.
This decline, caused by rising energy, regulatory, and labor costs, poses a threat to the government's infrastructure and housing plans.
Cement imports have nearly tripled over the past 20 years, rising from 12% to 32% of sales.
The Mineral Products Association (MPA) is urging the government to support domestic production to ensure the sector can compete with imports and meet construction needs.
