<strong>Portland</strong> <strong>Cement</strong> <strong>Market</strong><br />
REPORT DESCRIPTION<br />
<strong>Portland</strong> <strong>Cement</strong> <strong>Market</strong> - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2014 -<br />
2020<br />
The global <strong>Portland</strong> cement market is highly concentrated, with the top six large and medium scale companies<br />
accounting for 69.7% of the global market in 2013. These companies are Lafarge, Holcim, CNBM, Anhui<br />
Conch, Heidelberg<strong>Cement</strong>, CEMEX, and UltraTech <strong>Cement</strong>. Most of the leading players have their presence<br />
across the value chain. Players are focusing on emission control. The thriving construction industry is expected<br />
to motivate new players to enter in the market. However, players have to face barriers such as high capital<br />
requirements and stiff competition from established players. Thus, the degree of competition is likely to be<br />
medium over the coming years. Players will find lucrative opportunities by entering regional markets in the Rest<br />
of the World and MENA, states a new report by Transparency <strong>Market</strong> Research (TMR). The threat of<br />
substitutes is expected to remain low as there is no viable substitute for <strong>Portland</strong> cement.<br />
According to the report, the global demand for <strong>Portland</strong> cement stood at 4,025.9 mn tons in 2015 and is<br />
estimated to reach 5,165.1 mn tons by 2020. On the basis of application, the residential segment led in the<br />
past and will continue to do so even in the future. High demand from emerging economies is expected to drive<br />
the residential segment and it is thus likely to account for 46.3% of the market by 2020. By geography, the<br />
<strong>Portland</strong> cement market is likely to continue being led by Asia Pacific which not only accounted for the highest<br />
shares in 2015 but will also account for a whopping 68.1% of the total market by 2020. The growing<br />
infrastructure investments in this region and urbanization in countries such as China and India are driving the<br />
region towards high growth in the <strong>Portland</strong> cement market.<br />
