The Mexico cement market attained a volume of 47.42 MMT in 2025and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 1.10% through 2035. The market is further expected to achieve 52.90 MMT by 2035. Government-backed housing, roads, railways, ports, and water infrastructure investment in Mexico is strengthening cement demand, while nearshoring-led industrial construction adds durable volume opportunities across regional markets over the forecast.
The Mexico cement market is a strategically important component of the country’s construction and infrastructure ecosystem, supplying essential materials for residential development, industrial facilities, transportation infrastructure, commercial buildings, and public works. Cement demand is being supported by government-led housing programmes, road modernization, railway development, water infrastructure, and industrial investment. In February 2026, Mexico announced an infrastructure investment plan involving MXN 722 billion in additional spending during 2026 and MXN 5.6 trillion across eight strategic sectors through 2030.
Two factors are the main reasons for the current situation of Mexico's cement industry. First, the country's public infrastructure and housing programmes provide a reasonably consistent support base for cement consumption. The government`s housing plan aims to provide 1.8 million homes to its citizens over the administration period and 400,000 of them planned for 2026, thus boosting the Mexico cement market value. Second, nearshoring and other types of industrial projects are leading to greater factory logistic warehouses, facilities-related utilities and infrastructure. These mainly refer to Northern Mexico and the area of Bajo.
Fundamentally, the industry is shifting to produce goods of value and reduce carbon emissions. Companies are broadening the scope of blended cement and supplementary cementitious materials, enhancing energy efficiency, promoting greater use of alternative fuel and launching circular-economy schemes. Data obtained from the United States Geological Survey in January 2025 indicates that the nation's cement production amounted to approximately 42 million tons in 2025, thereby boosting the Mexico cement market developments.

Holcim Mexico disclosed plans to allocate roughly MXN 200 millions of investment funds to the building of a biomass plant in Tecomán, Colima with the intention to convert agricultural waste into the alternative fuel used to produce cement. This move proves stronger commitment from the construction sector, which is the key to long-term cost resilience and will support low-carbon cement production. This is not only a boost for Mexico's sustainable construction but also a stimulus for the wider industry investment in cleaner technologies, thereby leveraging trends in the Mexico cement market.
The Mexican government announced more than MXN 722 billion of public investment for 2026, covering over 1,500 projects across energy, transport, roads and airports. The programme is expected to directly stimulate construction activity, increasing demand for cement, concrete, and other building materials.
Cemex identified Mexico as one of its key strategic geographies as it streamlines its global portfolio and concentrates investment on core markets. Greater capital allocation toward Mexico could support production efficiency, distribution infrastructure and capacity optimization, strengthening domestic cement supply and enabling the company to capture infrastructure and housing demand.
Holcim highlighted the scaling of its calcined-clay cement technology, with Mexico among the countries where kilns are being retrofitted. The technology can substantially reduce clinker use and CO₂ emissions. This supports Mexico’s transition toward lower-carbon cement, expands sustainable product offerings, and may encourage wider adoption of alternative cement formulations, thereby bolstering the Mexico cement market revenues.
Road programme 2026 in Mexico is developing cement opportunities in underserved regions, wherein development of community roads is likely to create additional demand for the commodity outside of metropolitan areas. As of June 2026, SICT allocated MXN 69.299 billion for road infrastructure projects, involving the construction of 388 artisanal roads, measuring 888 km in length and located in 18 states, thus offering a geographically widespread demand pool for cement and concrete, thus boosting the Mexico cement market dynamics and trends.
Social housing is offering a geographically dispersed bagged-cement opportunity. Social housing in Mexico does not involve private developments but rather involves construction works in multiple states, thereby offering opportunities for those producers who have wide retail and distribution networks. As of January 2026, the government confirmed that 400,000 homes were going to be constructed in 2026 under the programme of Vivienda para el Bienestar as part of a larger goal of constructing 1.8 million homes.
Nearshoring is leading cement demand to industrial corridors. Nearshoring increases demands for factory, warehouse, logistics facilities and other infrastructure, thus creating a more valuable demand pool compared to conventional housing. This trend is especially positive for producers who can produce ready mix and who have access to industrial clusters in northern Mexico and Bajío, thereby boosting the trends in the Mexico cements market.
In Mexico, the cement producers are becoming increasingly inclined towards recycling waste flows for their kilns, thus integrating decarbonization and energy-cost resilience strategies rather than viewing sustainability only as a regulatory issue. In 2026, Cemento Moctezuma proposed its plan for the construction of Morelos plant which would utilize waste tires for alternative fuel, thereby indicating the trend of switching to locally available waste-based energy.
Cement competition is increasingly shifting from capacity to productivity. With mature producers already possessing extensive Mexican footprints, efficiency programmes can generate market advantages through lower costs, stronger margins and greater pricing flexibility. Cemex’s ongoing Project Cutting Edge exemplifies this direction, with the company targeting structural cost savings alongside EBITDA growth, enabling producers to compete more effectively for infrastructure, housing and industrial volumes.
The Expert Market Research’s report titled “Mexico Cement Market Report and Forecast 2026-2035” offers a detailed analysis of the market based on the following segments:
Market Breakup by Product
Key Insight: There is increasing popularity for blended cement as Mexican manufacturers decrease clinker content and add materials like pozzolans, slag, silica fume and limestone. Portland cement continues to be the leading type due to its proven record and popularity. CANACEM has revealed an average production of 42.5 million tons per year for Portland cement in the 2016-2022 period. There are also other types of cement that include special cement types such as sulfate resistant, low heat or low alkali reactivity types of cement that are becoming important for technically complex buildings and industries. The Mexican standard NMX-C-414 confirms the variety of cement types, thus boosting the growth of the Mexico cement market.
Market Breakup by End Use
Key Insight: Residential construction is seeing growing momentum with the help of government sponsored housing schemes, self-construction, and urbanization programs. Mexico’s “Vivienda para el Bienestar” program aims at constructing 1.8 million units of housing where about 400,000 units are to be constructed in 2026, which will generate diverse demand for bagged cement and concrete. Non-housing construction is seeing benefits due to spending on infrastructure projects, nearshoring, industrial construction, logistic facilities, commercial buildings, and energy investment projects. The road program of 2026 by the Mexican Government alone allocates about MXN 69.3 billion for road projects
Market Breakup by Region
Key Insight: Baja California benefits from its border location and manufacturing links with the US, supporting industrial, logistics and infrastructure construction. The northern states of Mexico are cement demand centers due to the nearshoring-led activities in the manufacturing sector and thereby eventually propelling the Mexico cement demand. The Bajío region is gaining importance because of the investments in automotive and manufacturing industries that need cement for the development of factories, storage facilities and infrastructure. Urbanization in central Mexico is one such area where cement is required. The Pacific coast region enjoys the advantages of tourism, port and urban infrastructure projects.
By product type, portland cement leads through established demand, availability, and versatility.
Portland cement will continue to be the leading product segment in Mexico owing to its usage in various sectors such as housing, infrastructural, commercial constructions, ready-mix and self-constructions. Portland cement is popular for its predictable performance, availability and compatibility with construction processes. For instance, Corporación Moctezuma is engaged in Portland cement production for residential and infrastructural applications while Cemex has experienced a 6% growth in cement volumes in the Q1 2026 period owing to self-construction and governmental programmes in Mexico. Despite the rising trend in blended cement, Portland cement will continue to dominate up to 2034 due to familiarity, wide retail networks and demand in both public and private sectors, thus boosting the overall Mexico cement market development.
Blended cement is anticipated to be the fastest growing segment during the forecast period due to the efforts being made by the Mexican manufacturers and construction firms to lower their carbon footprint and reduce their clinker content. The blended cement contains supplementary cementing materials or alternative minerals but retains all the necessary properties of the cement. The growing popularity of the infrastructure, industrial and commercial construction projects that focus on the environmental characteristics is boosting the demand for the blended cement. ECOPlanet products range from Holcim and their efforts to produce more environmentally-friendly calcined-clay-based cements supports this trend.
By end use, residential construction drives cement demand through broad-based housing activity
Residential construction will continue to be the dominant use category for cement in Mexico due to its housing shortfall, rising population, urbanization, social housing schemes, and high self-construction. The Vivienda para el Bienestar programme intends to construct 1.8 million units of housing in the current term of office, which includes 400,000 units of housing in 2026. Construction activities such as renovations, extensions, and upgrades of informal housing will drive the consumption of cement in bags from retailers. The 6% rise in cement volumes in Mexico in Q1 2026, partly attributed to self-construction and social housing schemes, highlights the significance of the residential category, and hence bolstering the Mexico cement market revenues.
The non-residential construction end-use category is forecasted to become the fastest growing category, driven by investments in infrastructure, near-shoring, industry growth, logistics, and public infrastructure. It covers industrial buildings, industrial parks, warehouses, road transport, rail transport, port transport, airport transport, hospitals, schools and utility services, all of which require significant amounts of cement and concrete. Non-residential construction is gaining benefits from the relocation of manufacturing and logistics in Northern Mexico and Bajío and government investments in infrastructure projects across the country. Moreover, larger industrial and infrastructure projects tend to use more ready-mix concrete, blends of cement and premium cement and concrete.
