Market Overview

White cement is a building material that has attractive whiteness and minimal energy use. This cement is frequently used with pigments to provide concrete and mortars eye-catching colours that would otherwise be impossible to achieve with regular grey cement. The presence of iron and manganese is responsible for the white colour of this cement. It is comparable to ordinary portland cement; however, to ensure whiteness, fuel oil is used in place of coal with an iron oxide level of less than 0.4%. It is an essential component of ornamental and architectural concrete used in paints, pavers, terrazzo tiles, and prefabricated goods including tile adhesives and faux walls. The greater focus on creativity and the building of aesthetic and creative senses is anticipated to leverage opportunity for the white cement market. In addition, the industry's broader sustainability goals are aligned with the usage of environmentally friendly white cement ingredients, which have been spurred by the emphasis on green building practices.
