Blended Cement Market Emerging Growth Drivers and Forecast 2025–2032

According to Fortune Business Insights, The global blended cement market was valued at USD 371.2 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 500.6 billion by 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2032. In 2024, the Asia Pacific region emerged as the dominant market, accounting for a substantial 70.85% share of the global blended cement market.

Blended cement is a sustainable alternative to traditional cement, in which a portion of the Portland cement clinker is substituted with supplementary materials such as fly ash, slag, silica fume, or calcined clay. This composition enhances the durability, workability, and chemical resistance of the cement, while also optimizing the use of raw materials. One of the primary factors driving its demand is the construction industry's growing commitment to reducing carbon emissions and promoting environmentally friendly building practices. As sustainable construction gains momentum worldwide, the market for blended cement is projected to witness significant growth in the coming years. Governments and private sectors alike are prioritizing green building practices, thus propelling demand.
