China produced more cement in the last 4 years than the U.S. consumed in the last 100 years
Between 1925 and 2025, the United States consumed approximately 6.7 gigatons of cement.
China, despite a major slowdown in its real estate sector, produced about 7.6 gigatons between 2022 and 2025 alone.
In just four years, China surpassed the amount of cement the U.S. consumed during a full century of urban expansion, industrialization, and infrastructure development.
