Cement manufacturers have reported higher revenue growth due to an increase in cement prices

Although higher construction costs and inflationary pressures have affected the demand for cement in the German as well as the global market, higher prices have assisted cement manufacturers in reporting higher revenue. For instance,

• In November 2022, Heidelberg Materials, the German cement manufacturer, announced that the firm reported a revenue increase of 13% year over year during the first three quarters of 2022. Sales volume, on the other hand, reported a decline across all business lines due to macroeconomic challenges. During the first three quarters of 2022, cement and clinker sales declined 6%, dropping to 90.0Mt from 95.7Mt in 2021.

The demand for cement is projected to increase in 2023 compared to the 2022 levels, amid the rebound in infrastructure construction activities and improvement in building material prices. However, cement prices are projected to remain elevated in 2023, which will also add to the revenue growth for construction firms from the short to medium-term perspective in Germany.

Along with the government, many big construction conglomerates are working towards their net-zero ambitions. To assist these firms and government institutions meet their carbon emission goals, innovative startups are raising funding rounds in Germany.

• In September 2022, alcemy, the Germany-based developer of predictive analysis software designed to assist the cement and concrete manufacturers, announced that the firm had raised €10 million in its Series A funding round, which was led by Galvanize Climate Solutions. BitStone Capital, MOMENI Ventures, and E.R. Capital Holding are among the many that participated in the Series A round. The firm is planning to use the capital for accelerating its software development, which will assist cement manufacturers in their efforts to reduce carbon emissions.

From the short to medium-term perspective, the publisher expects more such innovative startups to raise funding from global venture capital and private equity players, thereby assisting construction firms to move towards their net-zero goals.

Germany is planning to increase its investment in the production of green cement to become carbon-neutral
