Westford, USA, Dec. 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global cement production and consumption demand has been on the rise in recent years. In 2021, the global cement production was pegged at 4.37 billion tons and the consumption accounted for 4.27 billion ton. This is largely due to the increasing construction activity around the world. According to a report by The Economist Intelligence Unit, the global cement production is expected to grow by 4.4% in 2022 and 4.2% in 2023. The ready-mix concrete market also states that the Asia-Pacific region will continue to lead the way in terms of ready-mix concrete production and consumption, accounting for more than 60% of the total global demand. China, India, and Vietnam are expected to be the key contributors to this growth.
The US ready-mix concrete market is worth over $38 billion, with approximately 2,000 producers serving approximately 22,000 construction sites each day.
The increasing demand for infrastructure development in many emerging markets is one of the main drivers of the growth in global concrete production and consumption. With rapid urbanization and population growth, these countries are witnessing a growing need for housing, office space, and other commercial buildings. This is leading to an increase in construction activity, which is driving up the demand for ready mix concrete.

Ready-Mix Concrete Market is Capital Intensive but Highly Fragmented
The ready-mix concrete industry is highly fragmented, with the top 50 companies accounting for only 10% of global production. The industry is capital intensive, with an average investment of $30 million per plant. The industry is also cyclical, with demand influenced by construction activity. SkyQuest has released a new analysis of the ready-mix concrete market.
The global market is made up of thousands of small and medium sized companies, with only a handful of large players. This fragmentation makes the industry very competitive, with companies constantly vying for market share. The high level of competition means that companies must invest heavily in plant and equipment in order to stay ahead of the competition. This heavy investment leads to a high level of capital intensity within the industry. In addition, the market is subject to strict environmental regulations, which add to the cost of doing business. Despite the challenges, the ready-mix concrete industry is expected to continue to grow in the coming years. This growth will be driven by the increasing demand for housing and infrastructure development in emerging markets.
The report notes that the ready-mix concrete market is benefiting from strong growth in construction activity in many parts of the world, especially in India. However, this growth is not evenly distributed, with some markets seeing slower growth or even declines. The report also identifies several other key trends shaping the market, including consolidation, increased competition from alternative products, and changing customer preferences. The report provides detailed insights on how companies can successfully navigate these challenges and capitalize on the opportunities ahead. It also includes case studies of companies that have been successful in adapting to change and thriving in today’s environment.
With the top 50 companies accounting for only 45% of total revenue of the global ready-mix concrete market. The remaining 55% is generated by hundreds of small regional players. The report also found that the industry is capital intensive, with high fixed costs and low variable costs. As a result, profitability is sensitive to changes in volume. When demand is strong, utilization rates and margins improve; when demand is weak, companies experience declining utilization and margins.
