North America Cement Market Report and Forecast 2024-2032

North America Cement Market Size

The North America cement market reached around 121.33 MMT in 2023. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.1% between 2024 and 2032 to reach nearly 146.29 MMT by 2032.

North America Cement Market Outlook

• 25.1 million MT of imported cement met 21% of the domestic requirements of the United States in 2022.

• Canada, Mexico, Greece, and Turkey accounted for nearly 75% of the volume of cement imported into the USA during 2018-2021.

• LC3 technology can reduce carbon emissions in the cement production process by nearly 40%.

North America Cement Market Growth

The United States is the fourth largest cement producer globally. It manufactured 95 MMT of cement in 2022, which represented 2% of the global production (4.1 billion MT). In 2022, it consumed nearly 120 MMT of cement across a wide range of sectors. As per the Portland Cement Association (PCA), cement consumption is expected to grow by 1.4% in 2024 in the USA. The shipments of non-metallic mineral products in the USA grew by 1.8% year-to-date in the USA in September 2023. This indicates substantial demand for cement in the country.

Under the Advanced Industrial Facilities Deployment Program, the US Department of Energy aims to provide financial assistance of up to USD 5.8 billion to various industries to upgrade and retrofit their existing operations. This facility has been provided under the Inflation Reduction Act and is expected to benefit the domestic market for cement in the United States immensely.

Cement production is responsible for nearly 7% of the global GHG emissions. By increasing the proportion of SCMs (supplementary cementitious materials) in cement manufacturing and boosting the utilisation of relatively less carbon-intensive binding materials, the Canadian cement industry is expected to reduce GHG emissions substantially. Blended cements are expected to play a critical role in decarbonising the market by minimising the clinker-to-cement ratio, which is over 70% in most countries worldwide, including the United States, thereby driving the market growth.
