The global blended cement market was valued at $301,162.7 million in 2021, and is projected to reach $462,110.7 million by 2031, registering a CAGR of 4.2% from 2022 to 2031. Blended cement is a special type of cement made by mixing the clinker with one or two supplementary cementitious materials such as fly ash, slag, granular BFR, silica fume, volcanic ash, and Portland Pozzolana cement. There are various stages in the cement manufacturing process and these materials are mixed during the grinding stage of cement manufacturing. The addition of these cement-based materials offers significant performance benefits. The entire construction process becomes manageable and efficient. In addition, blended cement has excellent environmental properties. Blended cement also performs well in both hot and cold climates. It offers many advantages such as increased efficiency, reduced energy consumption, and reduced pollutants and CO2 emissions when compared with conventional cement.
Blended cement is used in high-performance applications to enhance strength and durability properties are required, as well as in general-use applications. The use of cementitious blends not only results in stronger, more durable high-performance concretes, but also helps reduce global climate impact by lowering energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, it provides a significant contribution to sustainable construction. Their use in concrete production consumes less energy and offers improved efficiency and building performance. Blended cement can contribute to the achievement of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED).
The demand for construction & infrastructure developments largely drives the market growth. The blended cement market is experiencing growth owing to rise in demand for residential, commercial, industrial, and public infrastructure. In emerging economies, infrastructural development is creating a need for blended cement and positively influencing the market. In addition, the government of India is strongly focused on infrastructure development to boost economic growth and is aiming for 100 smart cities. The government also intends to expand the capacity of railways and the facilities for handling and storage to ease the transportation of cement and reduce transportation costs. These measures are projected to lead to increased construction activity, thereby boosting the blended cement market growth.
The blended cement market is segmented on the basis of type, application, end-user, and region. By type, it is divided into Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC), Portland slag cement (PSC), composite cement, and others. By application, it is classified into precast construction and cast-in-place construction. By end-user, it is divided into building construction and infrastructure.
