Steppe Cement shares rise as cement sales grow comfortably

Steppe Cement Ltd - cement producer in Kazakhstan - Sells 276,217 tonnes of cement for around $12.7 million in the first quarter of 2025, up from 175,383 tonnes for around $8.4 million a year ago. The growth was mostly due to favourable weather conditions, the company says. Looking ahead, Steppe Cement says: ‘The company maintains a conservative outlook for the 2025 market. Despite significant growth in the first quarter, rising inflation and global developments may have a considerable impact on the investment climate in Kazakhstan’s construction sector. The company currently estimates Kazakhstan’s cement market demand for 2025 to be approximately 12 million tonnes, similar to 2024.’
