The global cement industry has bottomed out and will see more growth in Asia and a recovery in some mature countries, Italcementi said on Monday.
The world's fifth-biggest cementmaker said its own volumes would rise 0-5 percent in 2011, after three years of declines due to a global economic and financial crisis.
Last month, the world's No.1 cement group Lafarge forecast a 3-6 percent rise in 2011 demand led by expanding economies in China, India, Indonesia, Turkey and Brazil -- where it has 70 percent of its capacity.
"We went through very tough market conditions in the last couple of years. We look to the future in a more positive way and we believe we are at the bottom of the cycle," Italcementi chief executive Carlo Pesenti told a conference call.
In Asia, Indiawas expected to boom with prices and volumes rising at least 10 percent.

The year 2011 is anticipated to be challenging for the Indian cement industry. Faced with ongoing oversupply issues, volatile prices and decreased demand in the housing sector, local cement producers expect to experience even tighter margins this year.
However despite current lackluster performance, the industry is optimistic for demand to return. Increased investment in infrastructure, power projects and construction projects due inline with the Twelfth Plan (2012-17) will help boost demand for cement.
Country-focused outlook on markets including India will be featured at the 13th Asia Cementrade, due to convene in Shanghai on 31 March to 1 April 2011. Attendees at the conference can expect expert insights on the demand/supply situation, impact and future predictions for the industry.

The cement markets in the region have been recovering so far in 2010, and we expect a 6% year-on-year increase in combined consumption for the whole year. This will be followed by an even more substantial increase of 13% in both 2011 and 2012, which will be prompted by more strenuous efforts on the part of governments to support the construction industries in their countries and by the numerous projects carried out as part of the preparation for events to be held in the region, such as the 2014 Sochi Olympics and the 2012 European Football Championship. As a result, combined cement consumption in the region will exceed 100 million tonnes in 2012.

The cement industry in the CIS region is slowly picking up, thanks to increased cement demand from major construction projects and government support. Can the industry count on this recovery to continue for the next year, and how will it impact on global trade, specifically Asia?
The 13th Asia Cementrade has secured Mr Alexander Romanenko, CEO, Indexbox Marketing & Consulting to offer expert analysis to the critical question, “Is Cement Growth Returning to Russia & CIS Markets?”

In China investors bet money on cement companies after word spread that the government plans to build 10 million low-cost apartments over the next year. That's 72% more than the number constructed this year, according to Xinhua, and that means more of those slab buildings emerging from shrouds of bamboo scaffolding in many Chinese cities. Today Fujian Cement and Jiangxi Wannianqing Cement both hit the 10% daily limit.

Faced with oversupply issues, China has plans to shut down obsolete cement plants. Now, with the coming upswing in cement demand, will this effectively absorb remaining capacities?
The 13th Asia Cementrade conference to be held in Shanghai has invited local officials to address the new policies that will come into play in the new year, as well as demand/supply balance issues and construction market outlook. The conference will also zoom in on the expected impact on the global industry, including India, Vietnam, Philippines, Bangladesh, and more.
