View industry report for Europe

Cement, lime and plaster manufacturers have contended with numerous economic headwinds in recent years, including the COVID-19 outbreak, supply chain disruptions and aggressive interest rate hikes from central banks across Europe. These have clobbered construction activity, which is key in determining demand for cement, lime and plaster. To make matters worse, cement, lime and plaster manufacturers were forced to halt operations under COVID-19 lockdown rules, driving a dramatic decline in production output. The measures put in place to curb the virus also hit construction markets, with many projects being delayed or cancelled, further denting demand. Cement, lime and plaster manufacturing revenue is estimated to fall at a compound annual rate of 2.8% over the five years through 2024 to €40.6 billion. Revenue is set to plummet by 3.3% in 2024, although the average industry margin is expected to edge upwards to 5.3% as supply chain disruptions subside, alleviating cost pressures.
