Industrial background

About the cement industry industry

The cement industry is vital to the global construction sector. It provides the essential material for building infrastructure, housing, and commercial complexes. 

The industry is mainly involved in the extraction and processing of raw materials like limestone and clay to transform them into cement, which is a key component of concrete.

The global cement industry is expected to reach a value of $725 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 7.8% from 2019 to 2026.

The cement industry is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for around 7% of global CO2 emissions.

Sustainable cement production practices, such as using alternative fuels and reducing clinker content, are becoming increasingly important in the industry to reduce environmental impact.

The cement industry is facing challenges related to energy consumption, with cement production accounting for around 8% of global energy consumption and 5% of global CO2 emissions.

The cement industry is working towards sustainability, with sales of clinker substitutes expected to reach $8.9 billion by 2030.

Alternative cementitious materials, such as geopolymer cement and calcium aluminate cement, are being researched and developed to reduce the environmental impact of cement production.
