Summary and extracts
1 Market Overview
1.1 Definition and presentation
Cement is a versatile and ubiquitous construction material, used as a key hydraulic binder in the manufacture of concrete, one of the most widely used materials in the world. it is made by calcining a mixture of limestone and clay, followed by grinding to a very fine powder. When this powder is mixed with water, it reacts chemically to form a paste that hardens and gains strength over time, a process known as hydration.
The uses of cement are many and vary widely, extending from the construction of buildings and infrastructure to major engineering works such as dams and bridges. Cement's unique properties, such as high compressive strength and durability, make it an ideal material for outdoor environments and for structures that must withstand heavy loads or adverse weather conditions. Its ability to adapt to complex shapes when mixed with aggregates such as sand and gravel (to produce concrete) or reinforced with steel (to make reinforced concrete) further broadens its range of applications.
globally, in 2023 , the cement market reached a total value of $385.8 billion. For the period 2023-2032, the industry is expected to grow moderately with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4 percent.
