South Asia Cement Market Size and Outlook Report by Applications, by Plant Capacity, by Production, by Trade and by demand (2019-2029)

Insight

South Asian cement market has been progressing massively, and mainly dominated by India. We expect that the Indian cement demand is set to increase substantially owing to its economic growth, increasing population and rising GDP per capita. In the coming years, the rise in income alone will mean that a sizeable part of the population will be able to afford a house. As a result investment in the construction industry will rise.

The residential sector accounts for more than 60% of cement consumption in the country. Currently, the government started various affordable housing and smart cities initiatives which will significantly expand cement and concrete demand. Moreover, private enterprises are also investing in residential schemes. Thus, Commodity Inside anticipates that cement consumption will continue to be driven by the residential sector. Commercial sector construction will also rise, in response to the development of new residential areas.

Cement sales in Pakistan have increased considerably due to expansions of roads, railways, metro systems, highways, power projects, as well as due to residential construction. A raft of projects under China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is one of the main drivers behind the increase in construction activities. However, political risks reside in the country which creates an uncertain situation for the construction industry. Pakistan plans to build around 5 million houses over the next five years under the Naya Pakistan Housing Programme.
