Cement Market - Outlook and Forecast Market Scope
Cement serves as a binder in construction, functioning as a chemical substance that sets, solidifies, and attaches to other materials, facilitating their cohesion and connection. In the realm of construction, cement typically employed is inorganic and predominantly based on lime or calcium silicate. Cement can be categorized as either hydraulic or, less commonly, non-hydraulic, depending on its capacity to solidify when exposed to water. The cement market has witnessed substantial growth, propelled by various factors including global urbanization, infrastructure development, and the escalating volume of construction projects taking place worldwide. Moreover, the expanding population, growing disposable incomes, and improved living standards have led to a surge in the demand for residential construction. Consequently, this heightened demand for residential projects further stimulates the need for cement . This is anticipated to drive market growth for cement.
