Dublin, July 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Blended Cement Market Opportunity, Growth Drivers, Industry Trend Analysis, and Forecast 2025-2034" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The Global Blended Cement Market, valued at USD 75.4 billion in 2024, is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.6%, reaching USD 117.4 billion by 2034.
This growth is driven by the push toward sustainable construction solutions and the global shift toward decarbonizing the building sector. Traditional cement production, accounting for nearly 8% of global carbon dioxide emissions, is a significant focus for government policies and environmental mandates aimed at reducing infrastructure's climate impact.
Blended cement, incorporating industrial by-products like fly ash and slag, reduces clinker usage, offering a cost-effective and environmentally responsible solution. As urban centers expand, demand for low-emission construction materials increases, particularly in markets emphasizing green infrastructure.
Beyond environmental benefits, blended cement offers superior performance with lower production costs. The inclusion of industrial materials enhances durability, workability, and chemical resistance, making it ideal for various construction types. Its popularity in large-scale projects owes to these mechanical advantages and a reduced carbon footprint. With rising infrastructure investments across the U.S., the demand for efficient, long-lasting materials like lightweight concrete is supported by the rise of electric vehicles and green energy infrastructure.
Portland pozzolana cement held a 41.5% share in 2024, attributed to its long-lasting strength, lower heat emission, and enhanced resistance to chemical exposure—critical factors in construction and marine applications. PPC is gaining popularity in regions like Africa and Asia-Pacific, spurred by public and private sector investments in infrastructure and housing. Portland slag cement (PSC), containing blast furnace slag, is also in rising demand due to its eco-efficiency and compatibility with sustainable building practices.
The residential construction segment held a 35% share in 2024. While infrastructure such as roads, railways, and airports fuels significant consumption, the residential sector benefits greatly from blended cement's cost-saving and labor-reducing properties. In emerging economies, the need for affordable and scalable housing has intensified, driving a preference for durable and environmentally safe materials suitable for long-lasting homes. Rapid urban migration and ongoing housing shortages push demand upward.
The fly ash segment accounted for a 37.2% share in 2024. Fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) remain key supplementary cementitious materials due to their availability and technical performance. Fly ash is favored in pozzolanic cement mixes for strength enhancement and reduced permeability, while GGBFS offers superior sulfate resistance, making it suitable for marine and industrial applications. However, reduced output from coal-based energy plants has limited fly ash availability, prompting producers to explore new SCM options to meet ongoing demand.
The U.S. Blended Cement Market held an 85% share, valued at USD 8 million in 2024, due to its commitment to sustainable construction and aggressive climate mitigation goals. Federal policies create significant momentum for low-carbon materials like blended cement through key infrastructure programs. New building standards, financial incentives for green projects, and evolving performance regulations accelerate the transition to eco-conscious construction. Additionally, U.S.-based startups developing low-emission cement production technologies are reshaping the competitive landscape.
Key players shaping the Global Blended Cement Market include China National Building Material Co., Ltd, Heidelberg Materials, CEMEX, Holcim Group, and UltraTech Cement.
To enhance market presence and remain competitive, companies focus on innovation, capacity expansion, and sustainable product development. Firms invest in low-carbon formulations by integrating more industrial by-products and optimizing production efficiency. Collaborations with governments and real estate developers on green building programs open new demand channels.
