Cement Industry Outlook in Brazil, Russia, India, and China: Business Opportunities and Future Growth Potential to 2016
The BRIC nations – Brazil, Russia, India, and China – are among the hottest economies on the planet. New market research from GII partner publisher BRICdata offers market analysis, information and insights into the Brazilian, Russian, Indian, and Chinese cement industries, including in-depth analysis; detailed looks at market attractiveness covering the key trends, drivers and regulatory frameworks; and detailed market size figures for a period of ten years (2007-2016). These reports also offer detailed imports and exports figures for 2007-2011; description and analysis of the competitive landscape and the industry structure; and analysis of market entry, growth and operational strategies of key players, including profiles of the major companies and details of current and future production capacity.
In Brazil, the cement industry recorded a CAGR of 17.56% from 2007-2011, and the
Brazilian cement market is projected to record a CAGR of 9.02% over the 2012-2016 forecast period. Brazil's positive economic outlook is expected to drive construction industry growth. Healthy economic growth has driven the infrastructure construction industry in Brazil, which will support cement consumption. Brazil will host both the 2014
FIFA World Cup and the 2016
Olympic Games.Preparation for these events is expected to increase
infrastructure investment over the forecast period. The Brazilian government has already commenced the second phase of its PAC 2 growth acceleration program, through which BRL959 billion (US$526 billion) will be invested in housing, transport, energy and sanitation projects during 2011-2014. The huge investments in the infrastructure sector will fuel the demand for cement.
The
Russian cement market follows the trend of the country's construction market, during both the review and forecast periods. The cement market recorded a significant reduction in production and demand when the global financial crisis hit the Russian economy from late 2008 onwards. Many impending construction projects were suspended, and the cement market was adversely affected. The cement industry in Russia grew at a CAGR of 6.70% during the review period. During the review period, the cement clinker category was the largest cement type and accounted for 34.5% of the total cement industry.
India is ranked as the second-largest producer of cement in the world, only behind China. The Indian cement industry increased in value at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.14% during the review period (2007-2011), and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10.64% over the forecast period (2012-2016). This growth is primarily attributed to the government's high level of infrastructure spending, and the country's increasing number of residential and commercial construction activities. The Indian government invested US$500 billion on infrastructure during the Eleventh Five-Year Plan (2007-2012) and revealed plans to invest a further US$1 trillion on infrastructure during the Twelfth Five-Year Plan (2012-2017).
China produces and consumes more than half of the cement world's cement, making it the largest cement market in the world. The industry is hugely fragmented, with approximately 3,000 small, medium-sized and large enterprises. The top ten producers account for less than 25% of the market share, and consist of both global and domestic firms. The Chinese Government invested US$500 billion in infrastructure during its 11th five-year plan, and plans to invest US$1 trillion during the 12th five-year plan. The large-scale investment in various spheres of infrastructure, including roads, railways, bridges and ports, is expected to drive the demand for cement over the forecast period.

Global Concrete Admixtures Market - By Product Types & Geography - Market Estimates up to 2017
Concrete admixtures are the chemical formulations added in particular quantity to cement or concrete to meet the functional, aesthetic, and design requirement of civil structures. These are widely used in the construction of residential, industrial, commercial, and infrastructure projects. The benefits derived from the use of admixtures include improved durability; strength; chemical resistance; color; reduction in water and cement requirement; and enhanced working properties of concrete. These are of two types - mineral and chemical. Mineral admixtures include fly ash, silica slag, and rice husk ash; while chemical admixtures include super-plasticizers, normal plasticizers, accelerating agents, retarding agents, air entraining-agents, waterproofing admixtures, and others such as corrosion inhibitors and coloring agents. This new report from Markets and Markets offers
detailed volume and value forecasts of chemical concrete admixtures by types and geography.
