Press Release Body = The world cement industry is a complex structure of local,
national, regional and global markets and cement/clinker movements. The structure is
ever changing, being closely tied to changes in a range of variables - including
macro-economic growth, housing sector booms, public spending levels, trade
protectionism, and transportation costs. With a relatively small number of
multinational companies dominating cement capacity in many markets throughout the
world, the cement sector has become even more globalised in recent years. With
increasing multinational presence in growing Chinese, Indian, Middle East and Latin
American markets, the structure of world trade in cement and clinker continues to be
dynamic, with the dramatic changes in shipping costs adding a further layer of
complexity to trading patterns. The next 15 years are set to witness further
extensive change in cement supply/demand patterns, as different regions/countries
enjoy very different development profiles. Global Cement to 2020 examines the
current and historical development of cement supply/demand country-by-country
throughout the world, and analyses the potential levels of cement supply & demand in
those countries throughout the period to 2020. Global Cement to 2020 represents the
latest in a series of OSC in-depth Reports on the international cement industry
published since the mid-1980s. The detail and range of forecasts in the new Report
are even greater than those in the previous publications, and represent the most
up-to-date and comprehensive set of forecasts available on the International cement
sector.

Global Cement to 2020 includes extensive analysis and forecast for individual
countries/regions on:-

Cement consumption
Cement production
Cement & clinker imports
Cement & clinker exports

Global Cement to 2020 provides invaluable independent analyses on the development of
cement activity throughout the world in the period to 2020 - a period set to witness
further largescale changes. It represents the most up-to-date and comprehensive
examination of cement industry prospects, and is essential reading for all parties
with an interest in this sector.
