Dangote Cement has launched a push to expand its presence in Côte d’Ivoire. It is taking on established players like LafargeHolcim, Cim Ivoire, and Cimaf.
The move marks a new phase in the country’s competitive cement industry. Dangote aims to capture market share through pricing and production capacity. Industry analysts say the competition could drive prices down for consumers. Côte d’Ivoire’s cement demand is rising due to rapid urban growth.
The rivalry may also boost investment in production facilities. Experts warn it could reshape the cement sector in West Africa.
