Saudi Arabia Green Cement Market
is anticipated to grow robustly in the forecast
period 2024-2028. One of the key reasons propelling the
market's expansion is the booming building sector and rising environmental
concerns. Green cement is a term used to describe a typical cement created
using a carbon-negative production technique. It is made using cutting-edge
technical procedures that reduce emissions during unit operations. Various
industrial by-products, including fly ash, blast furnace slag,
aluminosilicates, and recovered industrial waste, are used to make green
cement. The GCC countries are deciding to use green cement at an accelerated
rate due to rising worries about environmental pollution and climate change.
Rapid Urbanization and Growing Less
Carbon Emission Awareness
The green cement market is experiencing
rapid growth due to factors such as rapid urbanization of emerging nations, the
expansion of building & construction activities, the rise in demand for
single-family houses, etc. Market expansion is a result of rising disposable
income and shifting consumer lifestyles.
The demand for green cement has been
driven by rising understanding of the need to minimize carbon emissions and
their harmful impact on the environment. Since it consumes fewer natural
resources in manufacturing and emit less carbon dioxide, it is anticipated to
gain greater market share throughout the projected period.
An important driver responsible for the
increase in green cement production is the growing awareness of greenhouse gas
emissions associated with cement manufacturing, reducing such emissions by
up to 40%. The manufacturing of green cement uses almost 60% less thermal
energy than that of ordinary Portland cement (OPC), which results in a greater
than 60% reduction in GHG emissions for every ton of OPC. Additionally, the
green cement lowers the "heat island effect" by making concrete more
reflective.
