Cement is one of the commonly used binding materials in the construction industry worldwide. It is characterized by a grey color and manufactured by grinding a mixture of clay and limestone. It is mixed with water to form a hard mass, which acts as an adhesive for masonry. It is largely bifurcated into two kinds, including hydraulic and non-hydraulic, depending on the ability of the cement to set in the presence of water. While hydraulic cement sets due to the chemical reaction between water and the dry ingredients, non-hydraulic cement offers optimal resistance against chemicals by reacting with the carbon dioxide in the environment. Cement Market Trends:

The market is primarily driven by a significant rise in construction activities across the globe. This can be accredited to the growing population, rising trends of the nuclear family and the escalating demand for residential spaces. Besides this, the development of mega infrastructure projects, especially in emerging economies, is acting as another major growth-inducing factor. Moreover, governments of various countries are investing heavily on enhancing the existing infrastructure, which is contributing to the market growth. The growing environmental concerns, coupled with technological advancements in the production process, are also driving the market. For instance, as the inclusion of thermal energy in the manufacturing of cement ensures a low carbon footprint, it is widely adopted by manufacturers of different end use industries. Additionally, improving focus on sustainable development has resulted in shifting preferences toward green construction. This, along with the escalating demand for green buildings, is positively influencing the sales of sustainable and green cement as it minimizes CO2 emissions generated during their production. The increasing purchasing power of individuals and rapid industrialization are other factors expected to create a positive outlook for the market.
