About Cement Market
Cement is a mineral powder that contains calcium, aluminum, silicon, and iron. It is mostly grey and made by finely milling raw materials such as limestone, clay, and marl. It is mainly available as a homogenous bulk dry powder. Cement powder has binding and adhesive properties among others, which allows it to harden when mixed with water. These characteristics can also be altered by mixing it with different additives according to the purpose of use; hence, cement is the most utilized material for building and construction purposes.
The cement industry is expected to grow primarily due to rapid urbanization in developing economies. Urbanization is increasing the requirement for housing and other infrastructures such as office space and shopping space. Moreover, the rise in global population and shift in social structure toward nuclear families have increased the demand for residential buildings, which in turn, is driving the cement industry.
