New wave of consolidation is expected in the cement industry

The Adani Group's entry into the cement industry would spark a new round of consolidation, with corporations bidding for the almost 25 million tonne per year (MTPA) of stressed assets on the market. In addition, cement manufacturers' development plans might add another 150-160 MTPA of production capacity over the next five years.

Due to heightened rivalry, the Adani Group's acquisition of Holcim's India assets — Ambuja Cements and ACC — for $10.5 billion may further deepen consolidation in the industry as the big players seek to maintain or increase their market share.

With a production capacity of 550 MTPA, India is the world's second-largest cement producer, accounting for around 8% of global cement production.
