How Are New Trends Expected To Influence The Growth Of The White Cement Market?
One of the main trends gaining traction in the white cement market is the progression of technology. Increasingly, companies within this sector are centering their attention on pioneering technologies such as carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) to create a more sustainable and efficient cement. For example, in April 2024, Cementir Holding Group, a cement production company based in Italy, introduced D-Carb. This ground-breaking white cement delivers a 15% decrease in CO2 emissions compared to the traditional CEM I 52.5R, but still boasts strong performance. Offering superior early-age strength, unique visual appeal, and exceptional durability owing to its reduced alkali and chloride content, D-Carb has been specifically designed with pure, light limestone and specialized grinding aids. This enhances its whiteness and rheological features, rendering it ideal for wet-cast applications such as self-compacting concrete. This innovative product further substantiates Cementir's commitment to sustainable building methodologies and the reduction of carbon in the construction industry.
