"While we do not expect global cement volumes to increase, we expect prices to surge to double digits in 2023, as higher energy prices will have a serious impact on cement production costs," said Emir Adiguzel, WCA Director.
Approximately 4 300 Mt cement was produced in 2021, as the industry recovers from a small slump in 2020. China was the largest contributor to global production, accounting for about 55% of the total, followed by India at 8%.

Production is likely to decline in China in the long term, but increases are anticipated in India, other developing Asian countries and Africa as these regions develop their infrastructure. These increases are projected to more than offset the decline in China, resulting in growth in global cement production to 2030 under a baseline trajectory.
This diverges from the Net Zero Scenario, in which global cement production stays relatively flat to 2030 owing to more efficient material use and alternative building materials. Actions to reduce cement demand include optimising the use of cement in concrete mixes, using concrete more efficiently, minimising waste in construction, and maximising the design life of buildings and infrastructure.
Clinker is the main ingredient in cement, and the amount used is directly proportional to the CO2 emissions generated in cement manufacturing, due to both the combustion of fuels and the decomposition of limestone in the clinker production process. From 2015 to 2020, the global clinker-to-cement ratio is estimated to have increased at an average of 1.6% per year, reaching an estimated 0.72 in 2020; this rise was the main reason for the increase in direct CO2 intensity of cement production over the period.
