Largest Cement Companies by Market Cap | Live Rankings

Cement — the world’s second-most consumed substance after water — has been a construction staple since Joseph Aspdin pioneered Portland cement in 1824. Mixed with aggregate, it produces concrete, which remains the most widely used building material on the planet. The global cement industry is also one of the largest sources of carbon dioxide emissions, accounting for over 7% of the world’s total greenhouse gas output.

China produces more cement than any other country, supplying over half the global total. India ranks second, followed by Vietnam, the United States, and a group that includes Iran, Brazil, Indonesia, Russia, and Saudi Arabia. The majority of the world’s top cement companies are based in Asia, with several headquartered in Europe.

Key publicly traded cement producers span multiple continents:

• CRH plc — Founded in 1970 in Dublin through a merger of Cement Limited and Roadstone Limited, CRH trades on both the NYSE and the London Stock Exchange and operates under brand names including Oldcastle in the US.
