Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential changes in Chinese construction activity, which could impact demand.
- Fluctuations in domestic production capacity affecting import needs.
- Trade policies and international market conditions influencing import costs.
- Efficiency improvements in clinker production reducing import reliance.
