Top 10 Cement Manufacturers in China

The future of the cement industry in China looks very promising; the top 10 cement manufacturers in China helped the country claim the spot as the largest cement manufacturer in the world, producing close to 60% of the global supply. In the month of September 2017 alone, Chinese cement companies manufactured 221.4 million tons of this vital building material. They produced over 2.62 billion tons of cement from September 2016 to September 2017 — a 5.6% increase from the 2.48 billion tons produced in 2014.

 

Major economies are turning to the top 10 cement manufacturers in China for their product in order to supply an ever-expanding global construction industry. There are thousands of cement manufacturers in China, but because of the many acquisitions and mergers in 2014-15, China’s top 10 cement producers now own 52% of the market share. The top 20 cement suppliers in China and Taiwan account for 56.9% of the country’s cement production capacity, as well as own 33% of all cement plants. The remaining 43.1% of cement production capacity belongs to thousands of other smaller cement companies, many of which can only produce as low as 50,000 tons per year.
