Portland cement Market: Demonstrates Growth Prospects Due To Ample Score for Cement Demand, Analysis By 2020

Portland cement amounts to 90% of the total cement produced worldwide, which makes it the single most prominent cement type in the market, cement is an essential ingredient in the construction industry, and is used in myriad applications. Portland cement is the basic ingredient used in mortar, concrete, non-specialty grouts and stucco. This type of cement is produced from raw materials such as limestone, clay, and sand.
The widespread availability of these raw materials renders affordability to Portland cement, making it one of the cheapest materials used for construction activities. Portland cement is characterized by attributes such as high durability, high dependability, cost-effectiveness, and versatility in a variety of construction applications. Owing to these properties, Portland cement is used for constructing buildings, bridges, tanks, reservoirs, pavements, sidewalks, culverts, masonry units, and water pipes.

In the recent past, these has been an increase in construction activity across the global in the backdrop of global economic recovery. Numerous countries have initiated infrastructure projects fueling the demand in the global Portland cement market, which is projected for a healthy CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period of 2014 - 2020, reaching a valuation of US$332.2 bn by 2020.
Residential Remains Prominent Application Segment
Based on application, the global Portland cement market is segmented into residential, commercial, infrastructure, and others including bricks and farm construction. Residential is the most prominent application segment of Portland cement. Most residential accommodations and buildings are constructed using Portland cement as an essential ingredient. Market demand for Portland cement for the residential segment is driven by emerging economies, especially China and India, wherein residential construction has been growing with increasing urbanization and population.
Portland cement is also used for renovation and maintenance activities. In addition, increased urban population in various regions is expected to create demand for better housing, which in turn is expected to boost the demand for Portland cement for residential application across the globe.
Asia Pacific Most Lucrative Regional Market

Rapid Prototyping Market - Rapidly Gaining Importance in Aerospace Sector, Research By 2024

Rapid prototyping is a technique in which the physical modeling of a design is done with the help of specialized machining technology. It was developed initially in the mid-1980s, the principle used in this technology is of solid modeling with the help of computer programs (i.e. CAD). Solid modeling makes use of computer aided-design (CAD) data to completely describe not just the external shape of parts or equipment, but its interior volume as well as the outside surfaces. The computer model is sliced into thin layers and the part of the product or commodity to be modelled or developed as per the requirement, is eventually fabricated by adding layers onto each other. Obtain Report Details @   http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/rapid-prototyping-market.html The primary benefit of the system is that almost any shape can be manufactured using computerized programs. Time and money savings vary from 50% to 90% compared to conventional systems. Types of rapid prototypi
