The recent infrastructural bill will greatly boost the demand for Portland cement through the repair and replacement of bridges and roads. The US possesses a massive existing building stock and highly developed public infrastructure and does not require the same levels of cement used by other countries.
High levels of cement demand in the US are a function of the country’s massive population and wealth, which generate considerable construction activity. However, wood-framed buildings are very popular in the US, limiting the amount of cement required for construction.
