India's cement sector expects sluggish volume growth in H1FY27 due to weak demand and rising input costs. April price hikes proved insufficient, and new supply additions in FY27-28 will keep prices under pressure, with recovery expected in H2FY27.

Asia
In China, the average Cement price increased from ~USD 48.52/MT (FOB) in April to ~USD 53/MT (FOB) in June, showing an ~9.23% increase. In India, the average price rose from ~USD 55/MT (FOB) in April to ~USD 56.8/MT (FOB) in June, reflecting an ~3.27% increase. Chinese Cement market conditions were supported by production discipline and infrastructure-related consumption despite continued weakness in property construction. China’s cement output declined 10.8% year on year in April, reducing supply pressure and supporting the market as producers adjusted production to weaker underlying demand. India remained comparatively firm as infrastructure, roads and public construction sustained consumption. Higher energy and freight costs also supported producers’ replacement economics.
Europe
European Cement markets remained mixed during Q2 as subdued residential construction limited demand while energy, labour and transportation expenses maintained a relatively high production-cost floor. Construction activity improved modestly during parts of the quarter, but building-sector demand remained weaker than civil engineering and specialized construction. By June, euro-area construction output had softened again, restricting producers’ ability to push through broad increases. Infrastructure and renovation activity provided some support, but sufficient regional availability and cautious contractor purchasing kept market conditions comparatively balanced.
North America
In the USA, the average Cement price moved from ~USD 135/MT (CIF) in April to ~USD 208.1/MT (CIF) in June. North American conditions strengthened as infrastructure spending, seasonal construction and higher logistics expenses supported procurement. U.S. cement producer-price data nevertheless showed relatively modest movement through April and May, indicating that the sharp increase in the supplied market benchmark was more consistent with landed-cost, freight and regional supply pressures than a uniform domestic producer-price surge.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, cement prices are expected to remain broadly firm, supported by infrastructure demand and production costs, while weak residential construction and improving seasonal supply may restrict further increases.

Asia
In Asia, cement prices remained stable initially and moved upward toward the end of Q1 2026 due to rising input costs. In India, fuel costs surged following the Iran war, which disrupted shipments through the Strait of Hormuz and affected supply of imported pet coke and coal, the largest cost component for cement producers. Fuel accounts for a major share of production costs, and rising seaborne prices forced producers to reassess procurement strategies. Domestic coal usage increased to reduce reliance on imports, while coke imports declined sharply due to supply disruptions and higher costs. At the same time, packaging costs rose significantly due to polypropylene supply constraints, adding further pressure. Demand from infrastructure remained supportive, though real estate slowdown limited stronger price increases.
Europe
In Europe, cement prices trended upward due to rising energy and regulatory costs. The implementation of carbon border adjustment mechanisms and emissions trading requirements increased clinker and production costs, prompting producers to raise prices. Imported cement and clinker costs also increased due to carbon-related charges, reducing the competitiveness of imports and supporting domestic pricing. Demand remained moderate, with cost pressures being the primary driver of price increases rather than strong consumption growth.
North America
In North America, cement prices remained firm, supported by higher fuel and transportation costs. Rising crude-linked input costs increased production expenses, while stable construction demand maintained steady consumption levels. Producers focused on passing through cost increases, though competitive pressures limited the extent of price hikes.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, in the near term, cement prices are expected to remain firm, supported by elevated fuel and input costs, while demand conditions will determine the extent of further increases.

Hydraulic cements set to a hard mass when combined with water owing to hydration, that is, a chemical combination of the compounds in cement with water. Among different cement types, Portland cement is most widely used across the world. Portland cement is essentially made up of compounds of lime, mixed with silica and alumina.

Cement manufacturing process involves various steps, which starts with mining, crushing and grinding of raw materials like limestone and clay, to a fine powder, called raw meal. The obtained product is then heated in a cement kiln at a temperature as high as 1450 °C. This is followed by clinkerization, cement grinding and storing of the finished product.
