Global cement price growth 2013-2016, with forecasts up until 2020
How does the global cement market look?
Demand for cement between 2014 and 2017 was lower due to the slowing of growth in China and a decline in oil prices that led to weaker economic activity in emerging markets. However, mature markets have since improved and are experiencing new market growth while the supply-demand balances in emerging markets are also improving. Cement prices can vary across many regions due to trade environments, input costs, and demand and supply, among other factors.
Cement prices in the United States
In the United Sates, the prices of construction materials can vary greatly. Similarly to global prices, the percentage change of cement prices in the U.S. is expected to grow due to a healthy and thriving construction industry.
