Issue 19 / Volume 1

In this issue we share CW Research’s Global Cement Volume Forecast Report for the second half of the year. The report shows that cement markets which underperformed in the past are recovering, whilst markets which were defined by continuous growth will be tempered. This issue also highlights key findings from CemWeek’s 2014 India Cement Sector Sentiment Survey, indicating some key feedback from the Indian cement sector. Shree Cement’s latest move towards expanding its capacity is also one of our focuses in the issue. The company recently purchased a grinding unit from JP that will reinforce its position in the north Indian market. Issue 19 of India Cement & Construction Materials also brings to you the latest results of CW’s research, as well as regional updates, news on projects and expansions, and the latest news on mergers and acquisitions.
