Cement Technology Exhibition
Cement is the primary constituent of concrete that has a variety of construction and numerous other applications. The construction sector and the cement industry go hand in hand.
Unprecedented construction activities have fuelled demand for cement in the recent years. Cement consumption per capita in the GCC stands at 437 kg, almost twice that of the world average of 277. Cement consumption in the UAE itself has increased from 2.6 million tonnes in 1992 to 17 million tonnes in 2007.
In the region, the GCC states, Jordan, Syria, Iran and Iraq are seeing massive investments in the sector to decrease reliance on imports and boost local production. Dubai itself imported almost three million tonnes of cement in 2007, a 73.6 per cent increase on the previous year.
Regional production & Expansions
More than 100 factories worth 1.2 trillion US dollars are expected in the Middle East, which are currently in various stages of planning, with 60 of the projects being new ventures. The GCC accounts for 585 billion US dollars for 25 new plants and upgrades.
According to the UAE Ministry of Public Works, the country is set to become the region's second-largest producer of cement by 2009 with an annual production of up to 50 million tonnes. The UAE presently has 12 companies specialising in the production of cement and clinker, and 26 companies involved in the downstream activities such as ready-mix and precast concrete.
