Summary and extracts

1 Visão geral do mercado

1.1 Definição e escopo do estudo

O cimento é um ligante hidráulico que é utilizado na produção do concreto para o fabrico de azulejos de blocos de concreto , gesso e argamassas . O cimento é feito aquecendo uma mistura finamente moída de calcário, argila e areia a temperaturas de até 1.450°C. Esta etapa resulta no que se chama clinker, um produto intermediário na fabricação do cimento, que depois é resfriado e finamente moído para produzir o pó que chamamos cimento.

Este é um sector oligopolística constituído unicamente por alguns dos principais fabricantes de cimento Lafarge-Holcim, Ciments Calcia Heidelberg, Vicat, Imerys e Eqiom. O investimentos significativos o investimento inicial e a necessidade de atingir uma dimensão crítica são as principais barreiras à entrada no mercado e tornam esta actividade uma das mais intensivas em capital do sector

A nível global, o mercado está a crescer, impulsionado em particular pela produção e consumo chineses nos países emergentes. O China é o principal fabricante de cimento com mais de 50% da produção mundial. É seguido pela Índia, que é responsável por 8% da produção mundial

Na França, o mercado do cimento é a meio mastro com a produção a cair mais de 12% entre 2009 e 2016. A dependência do sector da construção é total: o principal escoamento é a construção, seguida das obras públicas. No entanto, uma recuperação parecia estar no horizonte desde 2016 e até antes da crise da Covid-19, impulsionada pelo crescimento do mercado da construção.

Porque o cimento é difícil de transportar, o locais de fabrico estão geralmente localizados perto do local de consumo e a maior parte da distribuição é feita por produtores que integraram toda a cadeia de valor.

Finalmente, a indústria do cimento está preocupada hoje porque é altamente poluente . A alteração dos regulamentos e a próxima redução das quotas de emissão de CO2 estão a pressionar os produtores a reinventarem-se e a desenvolverem um cimento mais amigo do ambiente. A assinatura de um acordo verde da indústria em 2016 confirmou os esforços que os agentes da indústria estavam dispostos a fazer nesse sentido. Além disso, o crescimento na renovação energética que está a impulsionar o sector da construção aponta para perspectivas de crescimento para os próximos anos. O plano de recuperação económica de 7,5 mil milhões de euros para a indústria da construção, posto em prática pelo governo após a crise da Covid-19, deverá levar também a um aumento da procura de cimento.
