Top 75 global cement companies

摘要

The close relationship between cement consumption and per-capita income means that a country's cement consumption is an excellent indicator of its growth and progress. Regional development depends upon several factors, which include demand, raw material reserves, market access and economic conditions. As such, the global cement industry has undergone major changes in recent years, particularly since the start of the economic crisis in 2008. Emerging markets such as India and China now represent approximately 90% of the world-wide cement market. Economically-advanced nations such as Europe and the Americas account for most of the remainder, despite on-going financial difficulties.
