In 2014, Germany 's cement consumption was about 27.1 million tons, up 2.2% year-on-year. The German Cement Association (VDZ) also said that domestic cement consumption would increase further in 2015.
"The impressive situation in 2013.". In addition, the mild climate has further led to the growth of cement consumption, especially in the first quarter of 2014. Gerhard Hirth said. The economic environment still plays a key role in the investment impact of the construction market. "There will be considerable growth in the construction market throughout the year, mainly in the housing sector," said Gerhard Hirth. "In addition, given the advantages of concrete in multi-storey buildings, cement producers can successfully take advantage of the opportunities in these years to further expand their market share."
In 2014, the supply and demand of cement in Germany were basically balanced, with only 4% or 1.2 million tons imported from other countries. At the same time, the export volume of cement and clinker in Germany also decreased slightly to 6.2 million tons.
At the same time, Gerhard Hirth also said that since 2015, the cement industry in Germany has entered a period of growth. "Thanks to the considerable situation of economic development and the growing demand for housing, domestic cement consumption will increase by about 1% in 2015, reaching about 27.3 million tons."
