The Cement Industry in Europe and the Middle East: A Market/ Technology Report is an in-depth in-depth adj. Detailed; thorough: an in-depth study. in-depth Adjective detailed or thorough: an in-depth analysis study of the current position and future prospects (to 2012) for the cement industry in both regions, providing comprehensive data on production, consumption, imports & exports, and growth rates Growth Rates The compounded annualized rate of growth of a company's revenues, earnings, dividends, or other figures. Notes: Remember, historically high growth rates don't always mean a high rate of growth looking into the future. for the cement industry and its end user markets. The report also details the activities of key multinational, regional and domestic cement, concrete and additives/admixture producers. Key market forces that are driving the cement industry and determining its future in Europe and the Middle East are analysed. The cement industry is closely allied to the concrete industry, as so in examining the consumption of cement, the report also covers the supply and demand, and prospects, for the ready mixed and precast concrete precast concrete Concrete cast into structural members under factory conditions and then brought to the building site. A 20th-century development, precasting increases the strength and finish durability of the member and decreases time and construction costs. sectors, as well as looking at trends within the construction market generally. Global cement production in 2007 was an estimated 2690 million tonnes, up from 2540 million tonnes in 2006, and by 2012 it is forecast to reach 3370 million tonnes. Another 648 million tonnes of production capacity is already scheduled to come on line by 2010, to meet the anticipated growth in demand. Much of this additional capacity is designated for China, but a significant proportion, 15%, will be installed in the Middle East. In the European Union European Union (EU), name given since the ratification (Nov., 1993) of the Treaty of European Union, or Maastricht Treaty, to the European Community (EU27 countries), total cement production in 2007 is estimated at 283 million tonnes, representing 10.5% of world production. Cement production in the EU is dominated by Spain Spain, Span.

Cement consumption in Europe, including Turkey, is estimated at just over 310 million tonnes in 2007, which represents an increase of 2.75% over 2006, and this is forecast to rise strongly to 2012, as outlined in the report.

Consumption of cement in Russia is also growing rapidly for the same reasons. The current construction boom in the Middle East is on an unprecedented scale. Cement consumption in the Arab Union countries was an estimated 144 million tonnes in 2007, which is predicted to rise to 180 million tonnes by 2010. Egypt is the largest cement producer in the Middle East region, with production of 37.1 million tonnes in 2006, followed by Iran with a production level of 35.8 million tonnes. The cement industry has undergone tremendous changes in its structure over the last decade, with significant consolidation and vertical integration. The global leaders in the industry include Lafarge (France), Holcim (Switzerland), Cemex (Mexico), HeidelbergCement (Germany) and Italcementi (Italy). In the drive towards vertical integration, a number of large cement manufacturers have acquired construction companies that produce ready mixed concrete: one such example is the purchase in 2007 of the UK based construction company Hanson by the German cement producer HeidelbergCement. Many multinational cement producers are also capitalising on the strong growth in Asian markets (such as in China and India) and Middle Eastern markets, often through joint ventures with local cement producers. While continuing to expand, the cement industry has also been proactive in meeting environmental challenges, through investment in energy-saving technologies, alternative fuels and recycled raw materials. The use of waste products as fuel in European cement plants is already saving the equivalent of 3 million tonnes of coal per year. The use of blended cements, incorporating recycled products such as pulverised fuel ash Pulverised fuel ash (shortened to PFA, is can be a by product of a coal-fired power station. The coal is pulverised into a fine powder, mixed with heated air and burned. Approximately 18% of the fuel forms fine glass spheres, the lighter of which (c. or granulated gran·u·late v. gran·u·lat·ed, gran·u·lat·ing, gran·u·lates v.tr. 1. To form into grains or granules. 2.

The principle involved in this means of extracting metals is that of the reduction of the ores by the action of carbon monoxide, i.e., the removal of oxygen from the metal oxide in order to obtain the metal. slag, is also growing steadily. Admixtures and additives play an important role in the cement and concrete industries and include products such as plasticisers, superplasticisers, retarders and accelerators. Today, the additives and admixtures market stands at an estimated 980,000 tonnes in terms of consumption within the EU, with a value of over [euro]1000 million.
