Green Cement Global Market Report 2026

Green cement refers to a form of cement produced with the help of a carbon-negative manufacturing process, which is an environmentally friendly process that reduces the carbon footprint of cement production and also reduces cement consumption. The raw materials used in it are discarded industrial wastes such as blast furnace slag, fly ash, and others.

The main types of green cement are fly-ash-based, slag-based, and recycled aggregates. The term fly ash-based green cement refers to a byproduct of coal combustion. In some concrete mixtures, it can be used to replace up to 35% of the cement. Green cement is used in residential, commercial, and industrial areas for new construction activities, repair and maintenance activities.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs on imported cement raw materials and additives have impacted the green cement market by increasing production costs and disrupting supply chains. Segments like fly-ash and slag based cement are most affected, particularly in regions such as north america, europe, and asia-pacific. However, these tariffs have also encouraged local sourcing, strengthened domestic manufacturing, and promoted investment in sustainable and carbon-negative cement technologies.

The green cement market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $34.98 billion in 2025 to $38.24 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising construction activities globally, growing awareness of carbon footprint reduction, increasing use of industrial by-products in cement, rising infrastructure development in emerging economies, demand from residential and commercial construction.

The green cement market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $53.93 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of sustainable construction practices, growing government regulations on co2 emissions, rising demand for eco-friendly building materials, expanding industrial and commercial construction, increasing use of bio-based and alkaline activated cement. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of fly-ash based green cement, growing use of slag based cement in construction, increasing demand for recycled aggregate cement, rising focus on carbon-negative cement manufacturing, increasing investment in geopolymer and bio-based cement.

The expanding construction industry is expected to drive the growth of the green cement market in the coming years. The construction industry encompasses the commercial manufacturing and trade sector focused on developing, maintaining, and repairing infrastructure. As the construction industry grows, along with increasingly strict environmental regulations and building codes, there is a greater push to comply with these standards, which in turn accelerates the use of green cement due to its environmentally friendly properties. For example, in February 2025, the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based government department, reported that total annual construction output grew by 0.4% in 2024 compared to 2023. As a result, the growth of the construction industry is driving the expansion of the green cement market.

Major companies in the green construction market are prioritizing the development of innovative products aimed at enhancing sustainability, minimizing environmental impact, and improving energy efficiency. These efforts align with a broader strategy to support the decarbonization of the construction sector. For example, in June 2024, Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies, a France-based cement company, announced the construction of H-KSA 1, its first production unit in Saudi Arabia. This project marks a significant milestone in Hoffmann Green's international expansion and reinforces the company's commitment to delivering innovative, eco-friendly construction materials.

In December 2025, the Thai Cement Manufacturers Association (TCMA), an industry group based in Thailand representing major cement producers, teamed up with the Government of Saskatchewan to fast-track the transfer of knowledge and adoption of advanced low-carbon technologies, including carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), in the cement industry. Through this collaboration, TCMA and the Government of Saskatchewan aim to promote sustainable industrial development, advance Thailand's net-zero goals, and carry out pilot projects and capacity-building initiatives focused on green cement production. The Government of Saskatchewan, a provincial government in Canada, supports industrial innovation and sustainability efforts across various sectors.
