CemWeek Magazine, Issue 22

In issue 22 of CemWeek Magazine we share CW Research's Global Cement Volume Forecast Report for the second half of the year. The report shows that cement markets which underperformed in the past are recovering, whilst markets which were defined by continuous growth will be tempered.

Moreover, this edition brings 2 recent announcements in the Colombia cement market. Argos and Cemex released news they are expanding their operations in the country, betting on a healthy growth of the market in the upcoming years. Another important feature of this issue of CemWeek Magazine introduces highlights on vertical integration, a widely spread strategic approach used worldwide by cement companies to add value to their companies.

CW Research also presents an in-depth analysis of the cement market, as well as the energy market, in the Research & Analytics section. The magazine also gives a full view on the most important activities around the world, covering Asia, Americas and Europe, Middle East and Africa.
