Cement Industry

The cement industry refers to the sector of the economy that manufactures, produces, and sells cement, which is a key ingredient in construction and building materials. Cement is a powdery substance made by heating a mixture of limestone and clay minerals in a kiln, and it acts as a binder when mixed with water, sand, and gravel to create concrete. The industry encompasses the extraction of raw materials, the production process, distribution, and marketing of finished cement products. The cement industry is critical for infrastructure development, including roads, bridges, buildings, and other constructions, and is a significant contributor to global economic growth. It also faces challenges related to environmental impact, particularly greenhouse gas emissions during production, prompting ongoing innovations in sustainable practices and materials.
