Sectoral and Geographical Demand Analysis for Concrete and Civil Works
June 2026
Zimbabwe's granite formations are part of the Archaean craton, some of the oldest exposed rocks on Earth.
Mafic and ultramafic rocks associated with the Great Dyke provide hard rock aggregates.
0/6 mm (crushed sand) • 6/10, 10/14, 14/20 mm (concrete/asphalt) • Gabions & riprap up to 200 mm
Government focus on infrastructure rebuild post-sanctions. Road maintenance contracts creating steady demand for quality aggregates.
| Project | Location | Volume (Mt) | Timeframe |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harare-Beitbridge Highway | A4 Corridor | 3.0–4.0 | 2024–2027 |
| Mnangagwa Dam | Midlands | 0.8–1.2 | 2025–2029 |
| National Housing Delivery | Harare/Bulawayo | 2.0–3.0 | 2024–2030 |
| Mining Infrastructure | Manicaland/Midlands | 1.5–2.5 | 2024–2028 |
| Solar Irrigation Dams | Nationwide | 0.5–1.0 | 2025–2030 |
| Urban Road Rehabilitation | Major Cities | 1.0–1.5 | 2025–2028 |
8–13 million tonnes additional demand over 5 years → 12–15 million tonnes/year floor by 2028
Transport costs: $0.08–0.15/tonne-km
A 100 km haul doubles ex-quarry price, creating natural protection for local quarries.
Rashmi Group, Pioneer Aggregates, Gray's Quarry
Regional quarries, construction company-owned
Small crushing operations, government quarries
Zimbabwe's stone aggregate market presents compelling opportunities driven by infrastructure rebuild, mining expansion, and housing delivery. Strategic quarry locations near Harare and along mining corridors offer the best returns. Currency stability and government support for local production create favorable conditions for investment.
