The ‘Incredible’ Indian cement industry

Written by Peter Edwards, Global Cement Magazine
15 February 2013

Indian flag

The Republic of India occupies the bulk of the Indian subcontinent, the geographical region that is also home to Bangladesh and Pakistan in central southern Asia. The world's largest democracy1 and third largest economy in terms of purchasing power parity, India is the second most populous country after China, a position also held by its incredible cement industry...

Many diverse populations have been attracted to the fertile territories that constitute modern-day India over the millennia, combining to create a unique modern culture. Peoples arriving from parts of modern Afghanistan, Turkey and Arabia merged with native Hindu cultures and the country flourished as a trade cross-roads from around 400 onwards, with development of classical science, maths, art and wider culture.

Ethiopian cement focus

Written by Peter Edwards, Global Cement Magazine

View across Addis Ababa, the highest capital  in Africa, rising to over 3000m in places.

Ethiopia is a large landlocked country in central east Africa. Synonymous with poverty since the mid-1980s famine that ravaged the country, Ethiopia has since experienced a step-change in economic performance, with an increase in cement production also seen. The country is becoming increasingly developed and has huge potential for high cement consumption.

Iraqi cement focus

The Sinjar cement plant dates from the late 1980s. It underwent an extensive re-fit in 2011 courtesy of Austroplan Austrian  Engineering GmbH

A turbulent political history has stunted the growth of Iraq, a country with vast natural oil reserves. Now that the US-led occupation has given way to self-governance, the country has turned up the wick on its (re)-development. Recent speculation surrounding the possible doubling of its known oil reserves has put Iraq in a strong position to become an economic and political leader in the Middle East. The cement industry will have an important role to play in this development and is seeing major investment in production capacity.

Top 20 global cement companies

Top 20 global cement companies

To coincide with the release of the Global Cement Directory 2013, Global Cement Magazine has taken a closer look at cement companies around the world, comparing capacities to analyse the development of the global cement market. Through this analysis we have determined the Top 20 global cement companies - and those close behind. We comment on their place in the cement industry in different world regions.

The global cement industry is a good indicator of the growth and progress of a country as cement consumption is closely linked to per-capita income. It implicates future changes in the development of a region or country and depends on several factors like demand, raw material reserves, market access and economic conditions.

The cement industry has changed significantly in recent years through trans-national consolidations and co-operations. Much of the potential is in emerging markets, especially China and India. Emerging markets represent approximately 90% of the worldwide market today while western Europe and North America account for most of the remainder. This has opened many markets to competition, consolidation and technical progress.

To determine a ranking for the top global cement companies, listed by their capacities in 2011, Global Cement Magazine considered the plethora of cement companies from around the world. You can see the results in Table 1. The top three companies all reached an annual capacity of over 200Mt in 2011.
