Andhra Pradesh has reported good demand growth for cement in December 2010. According to industry estimates, the demand increased to 21.7 lakh tonne in December 2010 from 19.5 lakh tonne and 17.7 lakh tonne in November 2010 and October 2010 respectively. This growth was despite the state facing logistics problems and other disruptions due to the month-long agitation for a separate Telangana state. Demand had fallen to 15.5 lakh tonne in September 2010 due to unfortunate events. Dispatches soared in the last one week of December 2010 supported by continuing construction activity in housing and other infrastructure projects and the impact of good season pepped up demand and sales. The demand has support from prices which are now looking up and ruling in the range of Rs 155-165 a bag. In September-October 2009, prices had hit a low of Rs 125-135, marking a decline of over 20 per cent compared with the previous year.

The American Cement Association projects a nearly 1Mt annual increase in US cement demand over the next three years, driven by the surge in AI data centres. Consumption by data centres is expected to grow from 247,000 tonnes in 2025 to 860,000 tonnes by 2027. With over 5,400 AI data centres currently operating and numbers forecast to exceed 6,000 by 2027, the association cautions that regulatory hurdles and labour shortages may impact the industry’s ability to meet demand.
