Key Drivers

Factors driving growth of market includes increasing application of green cement in the residential and commercial projects, growing concerns related to greenhouse gas emissions and global warming, strict environmental regulations imposed by governing bodies and improvements in the living standards. As per McKinsey’s report, construction industry represents 25% of the global greenhouse-gas emissions (GHG), concrete emerged as the largest contributor, constituting around 4.5% of the global GHG and 7% of the CO₂ emissions in 2019, which is expected to push the demand for green cement products in the approaching years. Green cement offers remarkable benefits such as enhanced thermal insulation and fire resistance, magnificent resistance to alkali attack during weather change and reduces carbon footprint by 40-50% during production, which are expected to generate tremendous opportunities in the market.

Moreover, growing awareness about the environmental hazards of producing Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), subsidies provided by Governments on the production of green cements, conferences organized by United Nations to raise awareness about the impact of climate change, are some of the additional factors supplementing the Green Cement Market size. For instance, at the Conference of the Parties (COP) 26 Summit organized by the United Nations, India pledged to cut its emissions to become carbon neutral by 2070, whereas China presented its plans to become carbon neutral by the end of 2060, which is expected to boost the demand for green cement in the near future. In addition, the increasing investments by leading players on research and development, strategic partnerships between leading companies, rise in the launch of innovative products and growing population growth rates, are further contributing towards the market growth. However, uncertainty in the class of green cement is estimated to hamper the market growth across the globe.
