Cement and Lime Manufacturing in Australia - Industry Market Research Report

Cracked foundation: Fallings sales to house construction markets to sand down revenue

The Cement and Lime Manufacturing industry produces a range of products that are integral inputs in the construction, mineral processing, manufacturing and agricultural sectors. Industry revenue has been declining at an annualised 0.3% over the past five years and is expected to total $4.0 billion in 2022-23, including an anticipated contraction of an estimated 0.7% in the current year. The industry's performance has been influenced by divergent trends in the downstream building and infrastructure markets and the disruption to global supply chains following the COVID-19 outbreak. Manufacturers have restructured their operations and raised their reliance on imported clinker, allowing them to lower production costs and close inefficient kilns.

Industry companies manufacture clinker, hydraulic cement (Portland, masonry, slag and pozzolan cement) and lime.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
