Italian cement manufacturer Buzzi recorded a slight decline in revenue in the first quarter of 2025, with the company not communicating specific figures. The group highlights cement business in the United Arab Emirates as a positive factor, which developed above average. The diverging regional performance illustrates different construction demand: while the Middle East benefits from infrastructure projects, weak construction activity weighs on European core markets. Planners should keep a close eye on potential supply bottlenecks for specific cement types if Buzzi relocates capacities regionally.
