In 2023, the sold production of Portland cement, aluminous cement, slag cement, and similar hydraulic cements in the UK was approximately 10.3 billion kilograms. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 suggests a steady, modest increase in production, with yearly growth rates hovering around 0.6% to 0.7% annually. This consistent upward trend results in a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 0.57% over the period. The relatively slight year-on-year growth indicates a stable but not rapidly expanding market.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in cement production, sustainability initiatives, and requirements for lower carbon emissions, which could impact production methods and outputs. Additionally, economic factors and infrastructure projects within the UK could play significant roles in influencing demand and production levels in the coming years.
