Growth Factors in the North America Cement Market

Infrastructure Development:

The increase in infrastructure projects across North America is a major driver for the cement market. The governments of North America are investing in (primarily in the U.S.) modernizing transportation networks, bridges and highways. The U.S. Bipartisan Infrastructure Law may be only a few hundred pages long, but it contains thousands of pages of guidelines on how to use more than $1.2 trillion for public infrastructure development which definitely includes cement for projects such as highway and renewable energy facility expansions. Canadian cities are also experiencing higher cement consumption from their urban infrastructure projects. For example, urban infrastructure projects in Canadian municipalities include transit and sustainability city planning or "25 plus" projects. Not only are these projects sustainable, but they also support economic development and have the added benefit of addressing aging infrastructure. However, these public infrastructure projects will create further demand for cement in North America to meet construction activities.
Population Growth and Urbanization:

High population growth and urbanization in North America are two of the most important factors driving cement demand. As more people relocate to urban centers in search of better opportunities, the need for both residential and commercial space increases. For instance, in the United States, some states are seeing an increase in housing development due to increases in population and disposable income; Texas and California are notable examples. Texas consumed 16% of the U.S.'s cement in 2023 and is also seeing an increase in residential construction. Urbanization increases the number of infrastructure projects related to roads and public amenities, as well. Infrastructure projects require cement because it is a building product that typically requires almost zero maintenance, and is most often used in large construction site projects. This trend will lead to sustained growth in the market because residential, commercial, and infrastructure needs can present themselves as cities increase land usage to accommodate population increases.
Technological Advancements in Cement Production:

Cement manufacturers are breaking ground which already has an impact on growth potential through innovative processes and products that drive efficiencies and sustainability across the sector. Heidelberg Materials North America has launched many low carbon products and now has a competing product gradually being rolled out called EcoCem PLC. This product reduces carbon emissions by up to 30% versus traditional cement. Accelerated logistics are a part of this innovation with the introduction of automated technologies including high-speed automated packing machines, automated warehouse forklift processes and smart motor control systems that improve production capacity. The Michigan facility which is owned by Heidelberg is a premier example of innovated added values and production efficiencies with new technology. Cement manufacturers have to, and will have to be an industry that strives to meet increased demand, sustainability and improves demand competition to appeal to developers who factor overall sustainability of site selection through the development process.

Key Trends in the North America Cement Market

Shift Toward Sustainable Cement Solutions:

Sustainability is transforming the North America cement market in response to pressure from regulators to address climate change. Companies are bolstering their use of green cement (which includes blended cements with a lower fraction of clinker) to mitigate the greenhouse gas emissions associated with cement manufacturing. LafargeHolcim's Ste. Genevieve plant in Missouri has switched to OneCem Portland Limestone Cement due to its low carbon intensity. This transition aligns with global efforts to encourage the development of sustainable construction products through legislative action such as Canada's green building strategy. By adding supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) (e.g., fly ash), manufacturers are providing a durable product while maintaining regulatory compliance and achieving firm and developer requests for improved sustainability on projects such as energy-efficient buildings.
Rising Importance of Imports:

Importation is becoming a bigger component of North America's cement demand, and this is especially true within the United States, as U.S. production capacity has remained stagnant. In 2024, net imports made up approximately 22% of U.S. cement shipments, with Canada and Greece being key suppliers. Due to such things as the need to support large construction projects across the United States (e.g., infrastructure in California and Texas) where cement production does not exist or the available cement production is not enough for the demand, imports can help cover the gap, but they also add to the challenge of competing for our domestic producers, being priced in dollars of the global market, that shapes strategic decisions.
Adoption of Prefabricated Construction:

The growing preference for prefabricated construction techniques and methods across the construction market in Canada and other North American markets will impact cement demand. Prefabricated construction improves the timeline of the project, which is both time and cost efficient while meeting a quality construction method. In Canada, some cement manufacturers are developing robots and 3D printing with prefabricated construction methods to help with complex projects like urban housing developments, and more projects are in the works. Furthermore, it helps solve Canada and the USA's labor shortage in the construction industry and lack of skilled workers. It is clear that prefabricated construction in particular is allowing construction projects to be completed faster, which in turn increases cement demand for precast solutions, which conversely improves demands for infrastructure and commercial sectors, and ultimately changes the way traditional construction is performed.

Future Outlook

The increased adoption of prefabricated construction methods and techniques, including components and systems to the construction sector in Canada and at the construction market in other North American markets will affect cement demand. Prefabricated construction processes reduces the timeline on the project, resulting in time and cost savings to the builder, while still able to achieve a quality construction method. In Canada, some cement producers are developing robotics and 3D printing in prefabricated construction methods to assist with the increasingly complexity of urban housing development, and there will be additional projects upcoming. Furthermore, it aides with addressing the construction labor shortage in Canada and the USA and the skills gap. Prefabricated construction methods are contributing to a trend in construction projects being completed quicker, which increases cement demand for precast opportunities, which corresponding boosts demand for infrastructure and commercial sectors, and ultimately alters the manner in which traditional construction is done.
