White Cement Market Report 2026

The white cement market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $6.93 billion in 2025 to $7.22 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising residential and commercial construction activities, increasing demand for aesthetic concrete finishes, early adoption of white portland and masonry cement, growth in industrial infrastructure projects, demand for consistent color and high-quality cement.

The white cement market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.41 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to advancements in white plc and blended cement formulations, increasing use of high-performance white cement in commercial and industrial projects, growth in urban infrastructure and smart buildings, rising demand for specialty and color-consistent cement, adoption of eco-friendly and sustainable cement production processes. Major trends in the forecast period include growing adoption in residential construction, increasing use in commercial projects, rising demand for specialty white cement, expansion of industrial applications, enhanced consistency and color quality standards.

Rising residential construction activity is expected to fuel the growth of the white cement market in the coming years. Residential construction involves the planning, designing, and building of housing structures such as single-family homes, apartments, and condominiums, along with the associated materials, labor, and work required to complete these projects. This activity is increasing primarily due to the year-over-year growth in overall construction spending, particularly in residential projects, indicating stronger building activity and rising demand. The growing white cement market supports this trend by providing high-quality white cement used in premium and decorative residential applications, valued for its aesthetic and performance properties. For example, in February 2024, the U.S. Census Bureau reported that in 2023, total construction spending reached approximately $2.09 trillion, a 13.9% increase from $1.84 trillion in December 2022, with residential construction contributing significantly to this growth. Therefore, the rising residential construction activity is driving the growth of the white cement market.

Companies in the white cement market are increasingly embracing new technologies, such as carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), to create more efficient and sustainable cement solutions. For example, in April 2024, Cementir Holding Group, an Italy-based cement manufacturer, launched D-Carb, an innovative white cement that reduces CO2 emissions by 15% compared to conventional CEM I 52.5R, while maintaining strong performance. D-Carb offers excellent early-age strength, unique aesthetic qualities, and exceptional durability due to its low alkali and chloride levels. Made with pure, light limestone and specialized grinding aids, D-Carb enhances whiteness and rheological properties, making it ideal for wet-cast applications such as self-compacting concrete. This cutting-edge product underscores Cementir's commitment to sustainable building practices and decarbonization in the construction industry.
