FEATURED VIDEO CLIP - CEMENT OUTLOOK 2009
Speaking at the recent Cemtech Americas meeting in Florida, the chief economist
of the US Portland Cement Association, Ed Sullivan, forecasts that cement
consumption should decline 12% in 2009 and an additional 5% in 2010, with no
recovery until 2011. He also noted that, because of the upcoming capacity
increases in the U.S. and the low level of imports, the supply/demand imbalance
could result in the closure of plants, as capacity utilization stands now at
75%.
