The forecasted import of cement clinkers to India shows a steady upward trend from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the actual imports recorded were slightly lower than the 2024 forecast of 1.1219 billion kilograms. From 2024 onwards, a year-on-year increase is observed: 5.0% in 2025, 4.6% in 2026, 4.3% in 2027, and 4.1% in 2028, demonstrating consistent growth each year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is projected to be 4.5%, indicating a healthy expansion in cement clinker imports over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in domestic production capacities, advancements in construction technologies, and policy changes impacting import tariffs. These factors could alter the forecasted import trajectory significantly. Additionally, environmental regulations and the emphasis on sustainable practices in the construction industry could influence the demand and importation patterns.
