Blended Cement Market Report 2026

The blended cement market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $361.43 billion in 2025 to $381.29 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising demand in residential construction, adoption of ppc in precast construction, government infrastructure projects, expansion of commercial and institutional construction, increased awareness of durability benefits.

The blended cement market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $466.45 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to stringent carbon emission regulations, growing green building certifications, increasing investment in sustainable infrastructure, technological advancements in cement blending, rising demand for durable and high-performance construction materials. Major trends in the forecast period include use of fly ash and slag in blended cement, development of composite cement with improved durability, low-heat of hydration cement formulations, high-performance cement for marine and infrastructure projects, eco-friendly cement production techniques.

The increase in construction activities is playing a significant role in driving the growth of the blended cement market. Construction activities encompass the various stages involved in building, renovating, or demolishing structures such as residential homes, commercial buildings, roads, and other infrastructure developments. This surge is primarily fueled by substantial government investments aimed at enhancing national infrastructure, including the development of highways, rail networks, and urban facilities to stimulate economic progress and improve connectivity. Blended cement is widely used in construction due to its enhanced durability, reduced heat during curing, and improved workability, making it particularly suitable for large-scale infrastructure as well as residential and commercial projects. For example, in November 2024, the UK’s Office for National Statistics reported that total construction output in the United Kingdom increased by approximately 0.8 percent in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter, driven entirely by a 2 percent rise in new construction activities. As a result, the growing volume of construction work is contributing to the expansion of the blended cement market.

Companies operating in the blended cement sector are focusing on introducing innovative products like specially formulated cements to improve performance, meet project-specific demands, and promote sustainable construction practices. These special blended cements are created by mixing Portland cement with additional materials such as fly ash, slag, silica fume, or limestone to achieve desired technical properties. For instance, in January 2024, Unique Cement Industries Ltd., a cement manufacturer based in Bangladesh, launched Dhalai Special Cement, a distinctive type of blended cement. This product combines the features of Portland Composite Cement (PCC) and Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), delivering roughly 25 percent greater durability than traditional PCC and reaching OPC-level strength within just two days. Its rapid hardening capacity shortens the need for prolonged shuttering, saving both time and labor costs, and making it ideal for casting elements like roofs, columns, floors, and beams. Dhalai Special Cement supports Bangladesh’s infrastructure growth by offering both strength and efficiency in construction projects.

In August 2024, Ambuja Cements Limited, an Indian cement manufacturing company, acquired Penna Cement Industries for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Ambuja aims to significantly increase its production capacity and strengthen its presence in the rapidly expanding southern Indian market. The deal also enables Ambuja to leverage Penna’s established logistics network and operational facilities to improve supply chain performance, increase market penetration, and move closer to its goal of becoming a leading cement producer across India. Penna Cement Industries is an India-based company, known for manufacturing blended cement, including Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC).
