The negative carbon portland cement market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $0.79 billion in 2025 to $0.98 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising focus on carbon reduction in cement production, increasing use of industrial by-products, growing demand for eco-friendly construction, expansion of sustainable infrastructure projects, development of low-clinker cement formulations.
The negative carbon portland cement market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.29 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing deployment of carbon-capturing cement technologies, rising adoption of smart production monitoring, development of advanced supplementary cementitious materials, expansion in commercial and residential construction, innovation in negative emission additives. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of carbon-capturing portland cement, integration of supplementary cementitious materials, deployment of negative emission additives, implementation of smart production monitoring, expansion of eco-friendly cement formulations.
The rising adoption of green building certifications is driving the growth of the negative carbon portland cement market. Green building certifications, such as LEED, recognize construction projects that meet strict sustainability, energy efficiency, and environmental performance standards. As the demand for low-carbon and eco-friendly construction materials grows, negative carbon portland cement becomes increasingly essential, helping projects reduce embodied carbon and earn credits toward certification. For example, in 2023, the US Green Building Council reported a 9% rise in LEED certifications and a 51% increase in new LEED project registrations, reflecting growing emphasis on sustainable construction practices.
Companies in the market are developing CO₂-cured precast concrete solutions, which permanently store carbon dioxide in concrete during the curing process, reduce reliance on traditional clinker-based cement, and enhance material strength. For instance, in May 2025, Elematic Oyj and Carbonaide launched the world’s first commercial CO₂-cured precast concrete system, which lowers cement usage by up to 20% and enables industrial-scale production of carbon-negative concrete elements. This solution is compatible with existing production lines and marks a significant step toward decarbonizing the cement sector.
In December 2023, Lafarge Canada Inc. partnered with CarbiCrete Inc. to produce carbon-negative concrete blocks using steel slag as a feedstock. This collaboration leverages CarbiCrete’s cement-free technology to sequester CO₂ during curing, enhance compressive strength, and reduce reliance on traditional cement, promoting sustainable construction practices across Canada.

Negative carbon Portland cement is a type of cement designed to capture and store more carbon dioxide than is released during its production, resulting in a net decrease in atmospheric CO₂. This cement is manufactured using advanced materials and processes that enhance carbonation and reduce clinker usage. It supports sustainable construction by actively lowering greenhouse gas levels while offering the same structural performance as traditional Portland cement.
The main types of negative carbon Portland cement include magnesium oxide, iron oxide, fly ash, and calcium carbonate. Magnesium oxide refers to a key ingredient used in the formulation of negative carbon Portland cement that absorbs carbon dioxide during curing, enabling carbon-negative performance while preserving structural strength. The primary raw or feed material categories include natural raw materials, industrial waste-derived materials, and alternative calcium sources or innovative binders. Major applications span textiles, chemicals, and construction, with primary end-use sectors such as residential construction, commercial construction, infrastructure projects, and environmental services.Europe was the largest region in the negative carbon portland cement market in 2025. The regions covered in negative carbon portland cement report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East and Africa.
