Cement Market: Information by Type (Portland Cement and others), by End Use (Residential Construction, Commercial Construction and Infrastructure) and by Region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and the Middle East & Africa) - Forecast Till 2030

Cement Market Overview

Cement Market is projected to be worth USD 494.61 Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.20% during the forecast period (2021 - 2030). Owing to the use of cement across various industry vertices, the cement market share is likely to increase at a good rate.

Cement works in the form of a binding agent and has properties that help in holding or joining the other materials. This is usually used in fine powders of inorganic materials and the key constituents are chalks, shells, calcium silicate, and limestone amongst others. Cement production is a step that utilizes the key constituents and compiles them in a rotary kiln. The temperature for this process stands at 1450 degrees celsius. The result of this process is clinker production. This is an intermediate that is run through to obtain yield cement powder. These powders belong to hydraulic and non-hydraulic types. Hydraulic cement dominates the overall production by this sector in the global cement market.

COVID 19 Analysis

Cement is a major ingredient across various industry vertices like the paints and coatings sector, alongside the building and construction units. However, owing to the adverse situation of the pandemic, the lockdown was imposed and the work had to stopped midway for a considerable period. Due to this, the demand for cement declined drastically. Also, the government was imposing many restrictions on the functioning segments like production and manufacturing which led to a decline of revenue for the cement market and also, increased the inability to meet the prevailing demand.

Hence, to help the key cement market players cover the losses and revive the market operations and simultaneously create employment opportunities for the displaced population, the government is rolling out schemes and initiatives that will work positively and stimulate a wide demand. Also, the rise in investment in the research and development sector will create opportunities to create innovative and quality products and launch them on an international scale to serve the needs of a larger audience.

Market Dynamics

Drivers

The global cement production has already reached a quantum of 2.8 billion tonnes and with each passing year till 2050, it is likely to rise by 4 billion tonnes per year approximately. This means that the demand is increasing many folds. The growth trends are majorly in the APAC regions which will help the market achieve new heights during the forecast period ending in 2028.

Restraints

Urbanization is expanding which is a result of an improvised GDP that pushes the global cement market towards excellent growth. However, the need is to maintain the carbon dioxide emission rates and also sustain the energy and material resources for future generations. This is a major factor that targets and presents major challenges to the market during the forecast period of 2021-2028.
