22 January 2013
“Confront us to a data sintomático of the abysmal state of health of the market cementero Spanish that, given the levels of current consumption and with falls porcentuales so high, sees to move away even more his horizon of recovery. And the worst is that to date of today foresee a near fall to 20% in 2013”, explains the general director of Oficemen, Aniceto Saragossa.
In addition to the abysmal situation of the domestic market, the Spanish manufacturers are seeing limited his exporting capacity by the greater energetic costs that they have to bear and, therefore, are less competitive in front of other countries of his surroundings. Like this, in 2012, the sector cementero exported 5,9 million tonnes of cement, less than the half of the 13 millions that our country achieved to sell in the external markets in 1983. The imports, that hardly supposed half million of tonnes in the total of 2012, also fell 50% with regard to 2011.
