Dangote Cement Cameroon targets 3Mta capacity by 2028

Dangote Cement Cameroon plans to double its cement production capacity to 3Mta by 2028 through the expansion of its Douala plant and the development of a new facility in Yaoundé.

The company is upgrading its existing 1.5Mta grinding plant in Douala and has revived plans for a second 1.5Mta plant in the capital, Yaoundé. The expansion forms part of Dangote Cement’s wider African growth strategy, supported by a recent US$1bn agreement with Sinoma Engineering covering new plants and upgrades across seven countries.

Dangote Cement Cameroon has also launched Dangote BlocMaster, a 42.5R-grade cement targeting block manufacturers and masonry applications. The company said the product is designed to improve strength, setting time and productivity in construction projects.

The expansion comes despite a 15.8 per cent YoY decline in the company’s 1Q26 sales volumes to around 300,000t. Dangote Cement expects growing infrastructure and construction activity in Cameroon to support long-term demand growth.
