The green cement market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $32.57 billion in 2024 to $35.51 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased sustainability awareness, rise in demand for low-carbon footprint materials, favorable government policies for green buildings, increased concern about greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, rising demand fromThe residential construction industry.

The green cement market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $52.15 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rapid urbanization in developing countries, rising industrial activities, rise in infrastructure development, consumer preference for sustainable buildings, rising demand from the residential construction industry. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in green cement technologies, carbon capture and utilization (CCU) in cement production, circular economy practices, carbon labeling for construction materials, collaborative research and development.

The growth of awareness related to a reduction in carbon emissions and its detrimental effects is expected to propel the growth of the green cement market. The high contribution of the cement industry to CO2 emissions and its detrimental effects on human health have contributed to an increase in the shift towards the adoption of green cement. For instance, according to a report published by the International Energy Agency in 2022, global energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions increased by 0. 9%, equivalent to 321 million metric tons, reaching a record high of more than 36. 8 gigatons. Further, in February 2022, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, a US-based governmental agency, the total rise in greenhouse gas emissions had increased by around 78%, with emissions from burning fossil fuels and industrial activities accounting for about 90% of the increase across the globe. Communities across the globe are investing in green cement to reduce their contribution to emissions and increase support for sustainable building materials, which is expected to boost demand for green cement during the forecast period.

The expanding construction industry is expected to drive the growth of the green cement market in the coming years. The construction industry encompasses the commercial manufacturing and trade sector that focuses on developing, maintaining, and repairing infrastructure. As the industry grows, increasingly stringent environmental regulations and building codes are compelling greater adherence to sustainability standards, which is accelerating the adoption of green cement due to its eco-friendly properties. For example, in November 2023, a report from the Office for National Statistics, the UK-based administrative branch of the United Kingdom Statistics Authority, showed that construction output rose by a record 15.8% in 2022 compared to the previous year, reaching £132.98 billion. Additionally, in December 2022, monthly construction output increased by 2%, mainly due to a 3.5% rise in new work. This growth reflects the continued demand for construction projects across various sectors. Thus, the expanding construction industry is fueling the growth of the green cement market.

Major companies in the green construction market are prioritizing the development of innovative products aimed at enhancing sustainability, minimizing environmental impact, and improving energy efficiency. These efforts align with a broader strategy to support the decarbonization of the construction sector. For example, in June 2024, Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies, a France-based cement company, announced the construction of H-KSA 1, its first production unit in Saudi Arabia. This project marks a significant milestone in Hoffmann Green's international expansion and reinforces the company's commitment to delivering innovative, eco-friendly construction materials.

Major companies in the green cement market are focused on developing innovative products, such as low-carbon footprint green cement, to attract larger customer bases, boost sales, and increase revenue. Low-carbon footprint green cement is produced with a significantly reduced environmental impact compared to traditional Portland cement. For example, in February 2023, Holcim, a Switzerland-based building materials company, announced the launch of Europe’s first calcined clay low-carbon cement operation at its Saint-Pierre-la-Cour plant in France. This facility will produce ECOPlanet green cement, which offers a 50% reduction in CO2 footprint compared to standard cement. The operation utilizes biomass and waste heat recovery systems, underscoring Holcim’s commitment to sustainability through the use of innovative, low-emission raw materials like calcined clay.

In February 2022, Eco Material Technologies, a US-based manufacturer of sustainable cementitious materials, acquired Boral Resources, a North American-based fly ash provider, and Green Cement, a Texas-based manufacturer of carbon cement alternatives, for an undisclosed amount. Eco Material Technologies is a newly established entity in the green cement sector, and the company is focusing on strengthening its production and research capabilities through these acquisitions.

Green cement refers to a form of cement produced with the help of a carbon-negative manufacturing process, which is an environmentally friendly process that reduces the carbon footprint of cement production and also reduces cement consumption. The raw materials used in it are discarded industrial wastes such as blast furnace slag, fly ash, and others.

The main types of green cement are fly-ash-based, slag-based, and recycled aggregates. The term fly ash-based green cement refers to a byproduct of coal combustion. In some concrete mixtures, it can be used to replace up to 35% of the cement. Green cement is used in residential, commercial, and industrial areas for new construction activities, repair and maintenance activities.
