Summary

The Indian cement industry is number two in the world behind China and has left behind developed markets such as the US and Japan. With just a meagre per capita consumption of 28 kg in the 1980's, now it has risen to 110 kg in the 2000's. This sounds like an impressive growth but in terms of per capita consumption, India is still well behind the global average and this process of catching up with international averages will drive future growth in the Indian cement industry.

With huge investments planned in the Indian Infrastructure both by government and private sector, booming housing construction and expansion in corporate production facilities is likely to fast forward the growth in the Indian cement industry. For cement companies based in India, South-East Asia and the Middle East there are potential and lucrative export markets. Low cost technology and extensive restructuring have made some of the Indian cement companies the most efficient across global majors. Despite some consolidation, the industry remains somewhat fragmented and merger and acquisition possibilities are strong.

Investment norms including guidelines for foreign direct investment (FDI) are investor-friendly. All these factors present a strong case for investing in the Indian market.

This report on the Indian Cement Industry covers all the important aspects of the Indian Cement Industry with valuable information and data to help the busy managers and investors to arrive at an informed decision.
