Hydraulic Cement: World Production, By Country Or Locality

This table presents comprehensive data on the global production of hydraulic cement, broken down by country or locality over the five-year period from 2019 to 2023. Hydraulic cement is a critical material in the construction industry, serving as the primary binder in concrete and mortar, which are essential for infrastructure development, housing, and industrial projects. Tracking production volumes by country provides valuable insights into regional industrial capacity, economic growth, and trends in construction demand. This data is crucial for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and analysts to understand supply dynamics, forecast market trends, and make informed decisions related to resource allocation and trade.

Analysis of the data reveals that China remains the dominant producer, with output exceeding 2 billion metric tons annually, although production declined from 2,367,812 thousand metric tons in 2021 to approximately 2,022,930 thousand metric tons in 2023. India shows a robust upward trend, increasing production from 334 million metric tons in 2019 to an estimated 420 million metric tons in 2023, reflecting rapid infrastructure development. Turkey also demonstrates significant growth, rising from 56,966 thousand metric tons in 2019 to 81,451 thousand metric tons in 2023. The United States maintained steady production around 90 million metric tons annually. Notable increases are seen in countries like Bangladesh, which rebounded to 38 million metric tons in 2023 after fluctuations, and Egypt, which saw production rise from 48,700 thousand metric tons in 2019 to over 51,600 thousand metric tons in 2023. Conversely, some countries such as Belgium and Czechia experienced declines in recent years. Overall, global production showed a slight dip in 2022 but recovered somewhat in 2023, with total world production estimated at 4.09 billion metric tons.
