MODEST GROWTH FORECASTED FOR CEMENT

摘要

The Portland Cement Association (PCA) released its annual spring forecast which envisions modest growth for cement consumption over the next two years. PCA's market intelligence group estimates consumption to grow by 2.8 percent in both 2018 and 2019, and then to climb by 4 percent in 2020 as impacts from potential federal infrastructure spending are likely to take effect. The analysis estimates consumption at 99.3 million metric tons in 2018,102.1 million in 2019 and 106.1 million by the end of2020.
