World Demand Outlook

GDP versus Cement Consumption is a striking visual

representation of a country's stage of development.

Emerging nations, such as China, South Korea and Saudi

Arabia, are instantly recognizable. Their cement demand is
often far in excess of countries with comparable GDPs and is
representative of the significant national investments in
infrastructure taking place in these areas.

By contrast, smaller economies with low GDPs and little or no

infrastructure investment have small cement consumptions.

World Demand Outlook

In Q12015 world consumed 4193 Million metric ton

57.5% in China
7.4% in India
7.8% in developed
28.2% in emerging countries.

And there is 3.7% chance of growth in consumption of

world. There is 3.0% growth in China, 3.2% in mature
economies and 5.1% in emerging economies excluding
China.

Conclusion
Pakistan cement industry has capacity to increase its export by
searching new markets and expanding existing one. However
there are some problems in meeting production goal. If these
problems are tackled than it would result in million dollars
export.
