Cement growth forecast for Poland

Strong growth in demand for cement in Poland in April has led to suggestions that the sector will see 10% growth for the whole year in 2011. According to Polish Association of Cement Producers (690 SPC) president Jan Deja, demand last month reached 1.7million tonnes, which was up 17.4% on the same period last year. As a result he has revised his full year growth forecast from 7% up to 10%. Further growth is also forecast for next year and the association has suggested that this trend will continue until 2015.
