Cement Price Trend: Historical Data & Forecasts, Market Insights, Regional Analysis

Cement (OPC-53) Price Trends and Outlook - CFR India

The prices of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC-53), delivered CFR (Cost and Freight) India, have shown varied movement in the last quarter of 2023 and 2024, reflecting regional demand shifts and global economic influences. In October 2024, the price stood at USD 102 per metric ton (MT), slightly lower than the October 2023 level of USD 106/MT, marking a year-on-year (YoY) decline of 3.5%. This dip can be attributed to weakened construction activity in some regions and moderate inventory levels across key markets.

However, prices showed resilience in the following months. In November 2024, OPC-53 cement prices edged up to USD 103/MT from USD 101/MT in November 2023, resulting in a 2.5% YoY increase. The upward trend continued into December 2024, with prices reaching USD 105/MT - a significant 6.5% increase compared to USD 98/MT in December 2023. The surge was driven by rising domestic demand in India, supported by government-led infrastructure projects and a recovery in real estate construction.

Looking ahead, industry analysts at Expert Market Research anticipate a modest price increase in 2025. This is expected to be driven by continued infrastructure development, particularly under India's National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP) and smart cities initiatives. Despite possible regional slowdowns and input cost pressures, demand fundamentals remain strong. The expectation is that cement prices will remain stable with a slight upward bias, as suppliers manage costs while catering to growing urban and rural development projects.

Overall, the cement market in India remains robust, with seasonal and economic cycles influencing short-term price fluctuations. Long-term prospects, however, continue to favor steady growth, backed by policy support and sustained construction activity.

Global Cement Trade: Key Exporters, Importers, and Suppliers

The global cement market is characterized by a complex network of exporting and importing countries, driven by demand for construction materials and infrastructural development. Several countries dominate the export landscape, while others rely heavily on cement imports to meet domestic demand.

Leading Exporting Countries

Among the top cement exporters globally, Turkey leads the pack, leveraging its strategic location and strong manufacturing capacity. Vietnam follows closely, benefiting from cost-competitive production and proximity to key Asian markets. Other prominent exporters include Canada, Germany, Spain, Greece, Egypt, and China, each contributing significantly to global cement supply, often serving both regional and intercontinental demand.

Leading Importing Countries

On the import side, the United States remains the largest importer of cement, driven by extensive construction and infrastructure activities. Israel, France, Singapore, Philippines, Hong Kong, Italy, and Hungary also feature as major importers. These countries often face domestic production limitations or cost inefficiencies, making imports a more viable option to meet internal demand.

Major Cement Suppliers

The cement industry is dominated by a handful of multinational corporations known for their extensive global reach and product quality. UltraTech Cement Limited from India stands as a key global supplier, especially within South Asia and Middle Eastern markets. The Occidental Chemical Corporation (USA) and The Siam Cement Group (Thailand) are prominent in North American and Southeast Asian markets, respectively. Holcim Ltd. (Switzerland) and Heidelberg Materials (Germany) continue to maintain strong global footprints through mergers, acquisitions, and diversified operations. Chinese giants like China National Building Material Company and Anhui Conch Cement Company Ltd. serve major export needs in Asia and beyond, while Brazil's Votorantim Cimentos is a dominant player in Latin America with growing international presence.

Together, these exporters, importers, and suppliers form the backbone of the global cement trade, supporting critical infrastructure worldwide.
