Portland Cement Market: Increasing Infrastructure Development Projects to Fuel Demand, says TMR

The global Portland cement market is fragmented. Some of the leading players operating in the Portland cement market are: Lafarge SA, CNBM, Holcim, Heidelberg Cement, Italcementi, Anhui Conch, and UltraTech Cement Ltd. Players in the market are looking towards expansion in the emerging economies where there is a potential growth in the construction industry. Thus, Portland cement producers will establish new capacities in these areas or indulge in capacity additions in the years to come. Players may participate in mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, and collaborations to execute their aim for expansion across different geographies, states a new report published by a market intelligence company called, Transparency Market Research (TMR).

According to the report, the global Portland cement market will reach 5.2 bn tons by 2020 in terms of volume. On the basis of application, the infrastructure and residential applications ruled the market in the past. On the basis of geography, Asia Pacific is anticipated to emerge as the most lucrative regional segment, followed by North America and Europe. Asia Pacific is also expected to expand at the fastest rate in the years to come on account of the highest production of Portland cement as well as for the highest consumption of the same. Rapid urbanization and steady improvement in the economy will drive the region towards growth. The Rest of the World will also witness healthy growth in the Portland cement market in the coming years.


FIFA World Cup 2018 to Create Growth Opportunities for Portland Cement Market
The lead author of this report states that growing importance of Portland cement in construction applications will push the growth of the market worldwide, and especially in Asia Pacific. The extensive use of Portland cement for residential and commercial infrastructure development is driving the market globally. Of late, China, Russia, Brazil, South Africa, and India have contributed significantly to the growth of the Portland cement market. The high demand for grouts and mortars, which are used for the manufacturing of screeds, plasters, road beds, and foundations, will propel the demand for Portland cement in the years to come.
In addition to these factors, the hosting of FIFA World Cup by Russia in 2018 is behind a heightened demand for Portland cement. This is because the hosting of World Cup will require a huge infrastructure, with top class stadiums, and other facilities. Therefore, the Russian government has allocated over US$16 bn for the development of spectacular stadium. Such events are expected to create growth opportunities for Portland cement in the market.

Health Hazards Caused by Portland Cement to Impact Demand
“On the other hand, the environmental damage caused by the use of Portland cement will threaten the demand for this cement as the world becomes more aware and concerned about environmental conservation and green movement,” says TMR. In addition to this, another factor challenging the growth of the market is the fact that large amounts of energy are used for the transport, manufacturing, or mining of the Portland cement. This results in air pollution, and will be an obstacle for the global Portland cement market. Extensive exposure to Portland cement can cause severe damage to humans, causing health disorders such as lung cancer and chemical burns.
The global Portland cement market is segmented as follows:
Portland cement Market - Application Segment Analysis
  • Residential
  • Commercial
  • Infrastructure
  • Others (Including cement bricks, farm construction, etc.)

Portland cement Market - Regional Analysis
  • North America
  • Europe
  • Asia Pacific
  • Rest of the World (RoW)

This information is based on the findings of a report published by Transparency Market Research, titled, “Portland Cement Market (Application - Residential, Commercial, and Infrastructure) - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2014 - 2020.”

Superabrasives (Turning, Cutting, Buffing, Drilling, Boring, Grinding) Market Research Report 2025

An abrasive is a material which molds or provides finishing to a work piece through a process which includes buffing, grinding, cutting, as well as polishing. Abrasion typically depends on the difference in the hardness of the material and the abrasive (with the latter being the harder of the two). Unlike regular abrasion where any two solid materials that repeatedly rub against each other tend to wear away, superabrasives possess the kind of hardness that enables them to stay usable for a longer period of time. On the basis of hardness, the top two superabrasives include diamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN). Industrial diamonds used as superabrasives are exceptionally hard materials. However, they display several technological limitations. For instance, when a diamond comes in contact with a ferrous alloy such as steel or a nickel superalloy, the resulting formation of carbide leads to its abrasion. Also, a diamond-containing tool can only be used at moderate temperatures a

Industrial Lubricants Market: Strong Demand Across Automotive Industry, Trends To 2025

Lubricants refer to the organic or inorganic material primarily being use to decrease friction between two surfaces in contact. Lubricants play a key role in several industries as well as in commercial and residential sectors. One of their most common uses is in the lubrication of bearings and gears, allowing for their easy movement at high speeds, without loss in energy, prevent excessive generation of heat, or most importantly, prevent damage that would be caused otherwise. Industrial lubricants are, therefore, essential in enhancing the overall efficiency of a machine that contains moving parts in contact with one another. The global industrial lubricants market is currently expanding at a solid growth rate, driven by several factors and spearheaded by the likes of BP, Total, Chevron Corporation, ExxonMobil, and Shell.

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
