CW conducted an initial market assessment of pozzolanic materials across Europe, analyzing slag, fly ash, pozzolana, and other supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). The study mapped supply dynamics, demand drivers, and regulatory frameworks, providing a baseline for SCM market expansion, alternative cementitious materials adoption, and sustainability trends.

CW conducted a market assessment focused on the ready-mix concrete sector in a key high-consumption region, evaluating the footprint of production facilities, overall consumption volumes, and pricing structures. The study provided insights into regional supply dynamics, competitive positioning, and procurement trends, helping the client refine its market strategy and sourcing approach. This research expands on previous analyses of cement and SCM trade flows, offering a broader perspective on cement consumption and distribution patterns in one of the most active construction markets in North America.

CW continues to track shifts in trade flows, supply chain bottlenecks, and long-term SCM availability. Recent assessments focus on emerging industrial corridors, key import/export hubs, and infrastructure constraints. The research provides essential insights into SCM sourcing viability, cement logistics optimization, pricing forecasts, and market positioning, helping businesses plan for long-term operational and investment strategies.
