FIFA World Cup 2018 to Create Growth Opportunities for Portland Cement Market
The lead author of this report states that growing importance of Portland cement in construction applications
will push the growth of the market worldwide, and especially in Asia Pacific. The extensive use of Portland
cement for residential and commercial infrastructure development is driving the market globally. Of late, China,
Russia, Brazil, South Africa, and India have contributed significantly to the growth of the Portland cement
market. The high demand for grouts and mortars, which are used for the manufacturing of screeds, plasters, road
beds, and foundations, will propel the demand for Portland cement in the years to come.
In addition to these factors, the hosting of FIFA World Cup by Russia in 2018 is behind a heightened demand
for Portland cement. This is because the hosting of World Cup will require a huge infrastructure, with top class
stadiums, and other facilities. Therefore, the Russian government has allocated over US$16 bn for the
development of spectacular stadium. Such events are expected to create growth opportunities for Portland
cement in the market.
