During the last quarter of 2024, the cement prices in the USA reached 106 USD/MT in December. As per the cement price chart, the prices increased by around 3.92% compared to the same quarter last year. Cement price trends were affected due to construction demand, inflation, and high interest rates. Besides, a weak housing market in 2024 contributed to the challenges faced by the cement market.
In Q4 2024, the cement prices in China reached 158 USD/MT in December. As per the cement price chart, the prices increased by 6.04% compared to December 2023. Cement prices in China were primarily declining due to a significant drop in demand caused by a struggling real estate market, a slowdown in infrastructure investment, and overcapacity within the industry. This also led to a surplus in cement production compared to the declining construction needs; which resulted in intense competition among producers, further affecting the prices.
During the last quarter of 2024, the cement prices in Germany reached 42 USD/MT in December. The prices fell by 16% than in December 2023. Prices were influenced by the decline in homebuilding permits, which decreased compared to the previous year. This decline led to a downturn in demand in the construction and real estate market, affecting cement sales. However, the German government's expected interest rate cuts supported the revival of the construction market, thus influencing the prices.

The cement prices in the United States for Q4 2023 reached 102 USD/MT in December. The market price dipped initially due to lowered trading volumes and reduced export volumes. The decline in manufacturing expenses, driven by cheaper natural gas and crude oil, contributed to this trend. Despite this, an uptick in consumer confidence towards the end of the quarter helped stabilize prices.
The cement prices in China for Q4 2023 reached 149 USD/MT in December. Initially, the cement market in the country saw a steady decline in prices. The primary causes were reduced expenses of feedstocks and manufacturing inefficiencies. While product consumption remained stable, excess supply and dampened growth in sectors like industrial and construction prevented any significant price hikes.
The price trend for cement in Germany for Q4 2023 reached 50 USD/MT in December. Germany experienced a mild decrease in cement prices, influenced by reduced costs for feedstock and weak demand in key sectors. Rising stockpiles and economic uncertainties further pressured the market. The cautious stance of consumers amid a fragile economic outlook kept price recovery in check.

Q4 2024:
Cement prices in Europe were fluctuating due to various factors. One key reason was the increase in production costs, driven by higher energy prices and raw material costs. Despite a decline in energy costs, cement prices continued to rise, with producers passing on the inflated costs to consumers. Countries like Germany, France, and the UK experienced significant price hikes due to challenges in raw material sourcing and labor shortages, as well as heightened energy costs linked to the Ukraine crisis.
The prices for cement in Europe experienced a downward trend. Price reductions were primarily driven by lower feedstock costs and weak performance in key sectors. The combination of rising stockpiles, inflation, and high interest rates created further pressure. Economic instability and unpredictability about the industrial outlook, exacerbated by the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, led to a cautious approach in the consumer industry, contributing to the gradual decline in cement prices.

Q4 2024:
Cement prices in North America were changing due to several factors. One key reason was the steady demand for cement, driven by ongoing infrastructure projects and robust construction activities. This demand was fueled by government spending, particularly in the US, where non-residential construction is still growing strongly, due to numerous legislations like the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Chips Act, and Inflation Reduction Act. Moreover, cement prices rose gradually in Canada, driven by continued demand for housing and infrastructure development, despite higher production costs due to factors like hauler strikes, energy costs, and environmental regulations.
The prices of cement in North America experienced a decline influenced by lowered trading activities and a dip in export volumes. Moreover, the decline in manufacturing expenses, helped by diminished prices of natural gas and crude oil, played a major role. However, a slight improvement in consumer sentiment led to a modest recovery in rates towards the end of the quarter, signalling a tentative rebound in the market.

Q4 2024:
Cement prices in the Asia Pacific region were fluctuating due to the increase in government spending on infrastructure projects, which led to a surge in demand for cement. This was particularly evident in Vietnam, where the government's measures to boost infrastructure development and industrial growth drove up cement sales. Another significant factor was the focus on sustainability and decarbonization in the cement industry. This shift toward sustainable production methods has led to fluctuations in cement prices.
The cement market in Asia Pacific saw a consistent decline in prices. Initially, the drop in the prices was moderate. It became more pronounced towards the latter months of the quarter, majorly owing to lessened activity in the manufacturing industry and decreased expenses of raw materials. Despite reasonable consumer demand, the market faced challenges from excess product supply, destocking by traders, and sluggish growth in sectors including industrial and construction, which hampered any potential price recovery.

Latest developments in the cement industry:
Cement is a binding substance that is used in construction. It is made from limestone and clay. When mixed with water, it forms a paste that hardens over time, adhering to other materials to form a solid mass. It is available in various types, including ordinary Portland cement (OPC), Portland pozzolana cement (PPC), rapid hardening cement, and white cement, each designed for specific applications and environmental conditions. The product offers key properties, such as its compressive strength, setting time, fineness, and durability. It is used in applications like building foundations, bridges, pavements, tunnels, dams, water tanks, masonry work, roads, precast concrete products, and marine structures.
Cement enhances the structural integrity of buildings, offers versatility in construction, provides durability, has a predictable performance, allows for modular construction, and supports large-scale infrastructure projects. Additionally, it is lauded for its availability, cost-effectiveness, ease of use, strong bonding capabilities, and adaptability to various climates.
