  • Building the World with Pakistan’s Minerals: Export Opportunities in Construction-Grade Raw Materials

    Pakistan’s construction minerals powering global infrastructure

    As the world rapidly urbanizes and infrastructure projects expand across the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia, the demand for construction-grade raw materials is surging. From cement manufacturing to road building and urban development, reliable suppliers of minerals like gypsum, limestone, silica sand, and aggregates are now more crucial than ever.

    Pakistan, rich in high-quality mineral resources, is emerging as a trusted source of raw materials for the global construction industry. Shah Mercantile Co. is at the forefront of this shift, supplying certified, export-ready construction minerals to international buyers with a focus on reliability, quality, and transparency.

    High-demand construction minerals from Pakistan

    1. Gypsum
      Used as a key component in cement, plaster, drywall, and soil stabilization, gypsum from Pakistan is valued for its high purity and consistent granulation. Our sources in Kohat and Dera Ghazi Khan meet the needs of cement plants across the GCC and Africa.
    2. Silica sand
      Found in Sindh and southern Punjab, Pakistani silica sand is essential for glassmaking, construction mortars, and road base layering. We supply both washed and unwashed varieties depending on client needs.
    3. Limestone
      With a wide presence across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab, Pakistan’s limestone is ideal for cement production and as an aggregate for concrete. Our product meets industrial specifications and is available in large volumes.
    4. Crushed stone aggregates
      Sourced from quarries in the Margalla Hills and Balochistan, our aggregates are in demand for road construction, bridges, and rail infrastructure. Sizes range from 5mm to 40mm with customizable gradation.

    Why importers are choosing Pakistan

    • Cost advantage compared to overexploited markets like India and China
    • Reliable access to reserves with long-term mining rights
    • Competitive shipping rates to the Gulf, Africa, and Southeast Asia
