Cement market trends in India and Ghana

In India, the cement industry remains a critical component for residential, commercial, and infrastructure development. Business opportunities within the sector range from retail dealerships and distribution networks to large-scale manufacturing. Success in the Indian market requires careful evaluation of regional production capacity, logistics, and transportation costs, which significantly impact delivered prices and margins.

In Ghana, cement prices saw an increase in September 2026 due to rising costs linked to congestion at Tema Port. Market reports indicate that the price of 32.5R cement rose from GH¢98 to GH¢100 per bag, while 42.5R cement increased from GH¢109 to GH¢117 per bag. Major brands operating in the Ghanaian market include Ghacem, Dangote Cement, Diamond Cement, CIMAF Cement, and Dzata Cement.
