Volumes decreased for the first time in decades in 2015 although 2016 did see a return to growth. This dip in 2015 was due to a contraction in demand in one particular market, one which has become the centre of gravity of the industry: China. China drove 55% of global cement demand in volume in 2015. Given this huge share, it is unsurprising that the 5% contraction in Chinese demand in 2015, as economic growth and construction slowed, had a considerable impact on global figures. China’s slowdown will continue to weigh down on the market over coming years. Although other developing markets’ combined cement consumption, which makes up around 30% of the global market, is expected to grow by around 4% from 2016 to 2020, and mature markets, which make up around 16% of the market, will see around 2% growth in demand in this period, the forecast 3% drop in Chinese consumption from 2016 to 2020 will almost fully offset this growth due to the huge size of its market.
