In addition to these factors, the hosting of FIFA World Cup by Russia in 2018 is behind a heightened demand for Portland cement. This is because the hosting of World Cup will require a huge infrastructure, with top class stadiums, and other facilities. Therefore, the Russian government has allocated over US$16 bn for the development of spectacular stadium. Such events are expected to create growth opportunities for Portland cement in the market.
Health Hazards Caused by Portland Cement to Impact Demand
"On the other hand, the environmental damage caused by the use of Portland cement will threaten the demand for this cement as the world becomes more aware and concerned about environmental conservation and green movement," says TMR. In addition to this, another factor challenging the growth of the market is the fact that large amounts of energy are used for the transport, manufacturing, or mining of the Portland cement. This results in air pollution, and will be an obstacle for the global Portland cement market. Extensive exposure to Portland cement can cause severe damage to humans, causing health disorders such as lung cancer and chemical burns.
