According to Federbeton, the Italian Cement and Concrete Industry Association, the cement production in Italy declined by -8.8% in 2022 to 18.797 Mta, after 20.621 Mta in 2021. However, these production data do not fit with the data by the Italian Statistics Office I.Stat, who published a grey cement production of 20.512 Mta for Italy in 2022, which is 9.1% above the Federbeton data.
