Asia-Pacific is emerging as a major contributor to this growth, led by major commercial and infrastructure projects across developing economies. Although cement demand dipped about 3.8% in 2022 amid construction slowdowns, it is bouncing back, supported by government infrastructure initiatives and growing urban developments.
Top Key Trends:
Rising Residential Use
Cement for residential projects accounts for roughly 64% of total consumption in 2024. Urbanization and demand for affordable housing continue to anchor this trend.
Growth in Commercial and Infrastructure Sectors
Commercial usage – particularly new offices, warehouses, retail, and mixed-use spaces—is among the fastest-growing segments. Infrastructure development like roads and ports is also boosting demand in emerging economies.
Blended Cement Takes Lead
In 2024, blended cement held about 69% of the global market, favored for its resistance to corrosion and sulfate, and its suitability for diverse applications.
Other Product Growth Patterns
Beyond blended and ordinary cement, segments like fiber cement and white cement are seeing modest but steady growth:
Fiber cement is projected to grow from 37.84 million tons (2025) to 51.18 million tons (2030) at a CAGR of 6.23%
White cement, although a small fraction (about 0.58% of volume in 2022), is rising from 26.66 million tons in 2025 to 32.91 million tons in 2030, with a CAGR of 4.30%.
Regional Focus: Asia-Pacific Leads
The Asia-Pacific region is expected to outpace other regions in growth, driven by large-scale construction in countries like China, India, and Southeast Asia.
Segmentation:
By End-Use Sector
- Residential: Around 64% of usage in 2024, dominating global cement consumption.

Conclusion
The global cement market is projected to expand from 4.61 billion tons in 2025 to 5.96 billion tons by 2030, growing at about 5.22% CAGR. Residential sectors remain the biggest users, while commercial and infrastructure projects add momentum in Asia-Pacific. Blended cement continues to be the go-to product, supported by its performance advantages. Meanwhile, fiber and white cement bring added diversity in specialized building requirements.
Though growth is strong, the industry faces growing pressure to reduce emissions and focus on greener material solutions. Recent reporting highlights the cement sector contributes 7–8% of global carbon emissions, with most tied to clinker production—a key target in reducing impact. Solutions like supplementary cementitious materials, renewable energy use, and carbon capture are emerging, though not yet widespread.
Looking ahead, the cement industry must balance rising demand – especially in emerging markets – with pressure to clean up production. The shift toward lower-carbon blended formulas, coupled with expanding construction, points toward a market that is both large and adjusting to new environmental priorities.
