PCA: Global Economy to Stabilize in 2010

摘要

World cement consumption is expected to decline 1.7% in 2009, a mod est drop that, is cushioned by a roughly 4% growth in cement use by China and India. According to a recent report by the Portland Cement Association, gains in China and India, which together account for 58% of the world's cement, consumption, will mask the harsh downturns predicted for many of the world's cement markets. Among developing economies, consumption is anticipated to decline nearly 16% this year.
