The US mineral construction materials industry includes roughly 45 companies that operate 118 cement plants, hundreds of local sand and gravel gravel, particles of rock, i.e., stones and pebbles, usually round in form and intermediate in size between sand grains and boulders. Gravel is composed of various kinds of rock, the most common constituent being the mineral quartz. quarriers, and thousands of ready-mix concrete Ready-mix concrete is a type of concrete that is manufactured in a factory according to a set recipe, and then delivered to a worksite, often by truck. This results in a precise mixture, allowing specialty concrete mixtures to be developed and implemented on construction sites. operators. In addition, about 130 companies operate 200 brick plants, 500 produce asphalt asphalt (ăs`fôlt, –fălt), brownish-black substance used commonly in road making, roofing, and waterproofing.

It is the most common sulfate mineral, occurring in many places in a variety of forms. products, and about 1,000 produce concrete blocks and pipes. The combined annual revenue of the industry is about $65 billion, of which $35 billion is due to sales of cement and concrete products. Foreign companies own a majority of US cement capacity, including Holcim (subsidiary of Swiss-based Holcimk); Cemex (subsidiary of Mexican Mexican named after or originating in Mexico.

Because cement is a commodity product, manufacturers compete chiefly based on price. Production economies of scale are important, but are limited by the cost of transporting the finished product. The efficiencies that can be achieved with new energy-efficient (but capital-intensive) 'dry' production technology are a major source of competition. Small manufacturers may not have the financial resources or production volume to justify investing in the most efficient technology, putting them at a competitive cost disadvantage. Cement imports from Canada are an important competitor in Northern states. Cement and other mineral construction materials are used mainly to construct buildings, roads, bridges, sewers, and other types of infrastructure.
