Summer Sample Report

Near term projections are largely unchanged since PCA's Spring outlook.  Cement consumption is expected to grow 2.3% in 2019 and 1.7% in 2020. Overall, slightly softer economic growth, suggests a gentler interest rate pattern as well as slightly less robust conditions in the labor market.  For construction, these factors largely offset each other. 

This forecast contains analysis and tables for the Economic Forecast, Construction Put-in-Place (billions of 2009$), Portland Cement Consumption (metric tons), and the U.S. Cement Consumption Forecast (metric tons) for years 2017-2024. Available in PDF and Excel.
