The growing need for housing and commercial spaces, rising number of construction activities and infrastructure development projects, and favorable government initiatives for industrialization and sustainable infrastructure development are some of the major factors propelling the market.
Portland cement is a widely used construction material known for its integral role in the building industry. It is a hydraulic cement, primarily composed of clinker, gypsum, and other essential additives. It involves heating limestone, clay, and iron ore in a kiln to high temperatures to form a clinker nodule and then grounded to create Portland cement. It can harden when mixed with water and form a solid and durable binder that adheres to various materials. As it assists in maintaining the integrity of building structures, the demand for Portland cement is increasing across the globe.
At present, rising consumer preferences for sustainable and environmentally friendly construction materials are contributing to the growth of the market. In line with this, the increasing adoption of durable construction material with low maintenance costs is strengthening the growth of the market. Moreover, the growing demand for green buildings to reduce carbon emissions in the environment around the world is positively influencing the market. In addition, advancements in cement production technologies to improve energy efficiency and sustainability are offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors.
