2017 was a profitable year for Nigeria’s cement giants as they made ₦1.1 trillion in revenue for the 12 months ended December 2017. This represents a 32.4% increase over the ₦848 billion made in 2016.

Dangote Cement leads revenue wise

Dangote Cement led in terms of revenue share. The company earned ₦805,582,000,000 or 71.6% of total revenue  Lafarge takes the 2nd position with ₦299 billion or 26.6% of total revenues made. Cement Company of Northern Nigeria (also known as Sokoto Cement) brings up the rear with 1.8% of total revenue.

Price increases were the revenue driver

The increase in revenue was largely due to an increase in cement prices as volumes produced and sold dropped. While Dangote Cement and CCNN released production volumes, Lafarge Africa did not.
