The cement industry globally is facing a significant challenge in procuring raw
materials due to the increase in scarcity of limestone, fossil fuels, and others. On the
other hand, the growth in the construction sector worldwide is rising at a faster pace
due to the growing demand for commercial, residential, and industries sectors. These
factors are directly proportional to the growth in demand for cement. This factor has
risen the demand for other alternatives to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), i.e., fly
ash. Therefore, the increasing demand for cement, as well as the rising quantity of
industrial byproducts, has propelled the governments of various countries to
undertake initiatives to utilize the industrial byproducts into cement manufacturing.
For instance, in 2017, the government of India has issued a decision on setting up of
cement factories near various thermal power plant across the country. This step is
expected to reuse the fly ash produced from the thermal power plants, in
manufacturing cement. Therefore, increasing government initiatives towards
utilization of fly ash further drive the global fly ash market.
