The import of cement clinkers to Australia has shown varied trends over the past decade. After a significant increase from 2013 to 2014, the year-on-year growth fluctuated, with notable drops in 2018 and 2020. However, recent years before 2024 have seen steadier growth, with a positive trend from 2021 onwards, peaking in 2023 at 3.6195 billion kilograms. The last two years reflected moderate annual growth rates around 2.7%, and the five-year CAGR moving into 2028 is forecasted at 2.04%, indicating moderate but steady growth.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of global supply chain shifts, domestic production capabilities, infrastructural developments, and environmental regulations that could influence import volume and growth consistency in the upcoming years.
