The green cement market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In the past few years, the green cement market size has seen significant growth. It is projected to increase from a value of $32.57 billion in 2024 to $35.51 billion in 2025, which reflects a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.0%.
The growth during the historical period can be linked to growing awareness of sustainability, increased demand for materials with a low-carbon footprint, supportive government policies towards green buildings, heightened worry about greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and the escalating demand from the residential construction sector.
The green cement market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of green cement is anticipated to experience significant expansion in the coming years, reaching $52.15 billion by 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%.
This projected growth during the forecast period is due to fast-paced urbanization in emerging markets, growth in industrial activities, an increase in infrastructure projects, a shift towards sustainable buildings among consumers, and an upsurge in demand from the residential construction sector. The forecast period also expects to see progress in green cement technologies, the use of carbon capture and utilization (CCU) in cement making processes, implementation of circular economy methods, the introduction of carbon labeling for construction materials, and joint research and development initiatives.
The escalated cognizance about the importance of decreasing carbon outputs and their harmful impact is predicted to stimulate the expansion of the green cement market. The substantial role the cement sector plays in CO2 discharges and its adverse effects on public health have led to a gradual surge in the uptake of green cement. A study by the International Energy Agency in 2022, for example, revealed that world energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions had risen by 0.9%, or 321 million metric tons, attaining an all-time high exceeding 36.8 gigatons. Moreover, the Environmental Protection Agency, a US government body, reported in February 2022 that the overall increase in greenhouse gas emissions had grown by approximately 78%. The emissions resulting from fossil fuel combustion and industrial functions were responsible for nearly 90% of this global rise. Around the world, communities are investing in green cement to diminish their emissions contribution and ramp up their support for eco-friendly construction materials. This is anticipated to heighten the demand for green cement in the upcoming forecast period.
