White Cement Market Size to Reach 32.91 million Tons by 2030 on Steady Construction Growth and Design Demand

Introduction:

The global white cement market is forecast to grow from approximately 26.66 million tons in 2025 to 32.91 million tons by 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.30% during 2025-2030, according to a recent Mordor Intelligence report. Though white cement accounts for just 0.58% of the overall cement volume in 2022, it plays a key role in projects where aesthetic finishing or reflective properties are required.

White cement is prized for its bright, uniform appearance and reflective qualities, and it is commonly used in architectural facades, decorative concrete, terrazzo flooring, precast elements, and specialty finishes. As global urban construction - especially in residential and commercial segments - continues to grow, demand for white cement is also rising.

Key Trends

Rising Uptake in Residential and Commercial Construction

Residential projects account for nearly half of current white cement consumption globally, driven by rapid urban migration, investments in housing, and demand for visually appealing finishes in living spaces. Industrial and institutional construction is emerging as the fastest-growing category, with projected CAGR around 5.02% thanks to expanding healthcare, education, and factory floor construction .

Preference for Architectural and Decorative Applications

White cement's aesthetic value makes it suitable for thin-set tile grouts, cast stone, precast wall panels, decorative masonry, and terrazzo floors. Architects and designers are increasingly specifying white cement to achieve brighter, cleaner finishes in structures like shopping centers, office towers, and upscale residential buildings.

Urbanization and Infrastructure Expansion in Asia-Pacific and Middle East

The Asia‐Pacific region holds over 53% share of global white cement consumption in 2023, led by heavy construction activity in India, China, and Southeast Asia. In the Middle East and Africa, market expansion is projected at a 6.47% CAGR, with plans in Saudi Arabia to develop over 6.1 million m2 of office space and nearly 4.3 million m2 of retail space by 2030, supporting demand for white cement.

Production Costs and Competition from Grey Cement

White cement production involves strict control of iron and manganese oxides, specialty kiln design, and higher energy inputs, making it more expensive than standard grey Portland cement. That limits its use in price-sensitive projects, especially in emerging markets. Despite this, growing interest in façades and aesthetic applications is supporting premium pricing.
