The cement industry in Europe at the crossroads
Cement production in the EU is projected to decrease by 3.3% in 2023. Between 2025 and 2030 production will only slightly recover to about 171.3 Mt/a, which is well below the 2021 figure. Cement consumption in the EU27 was 167.5 Mt/a in 2021 (Figure 4), which corresponds to a per capita consumption (PCC) of 376 kg/pcc.
