Global Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) Market Size By Product (Gray Portland Cement, White Portland Cement), By Application (Residential, Non-Residential), By Geographic Scope And Forecast

Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) Market Size And Forecast

Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) Market size is growing at a moderate pace with substantial growth rates over the last few years and is estimated that the market will grow significantly in the forecasted period i.e. 2021 to 2028.

The treatment period of OPC is shorter than PPC hence the cost of treatment is reduced, therefore recommended that the cost-prohibitive treatment will occur and OPC has great resistance to cracking and shrinkage which works as the major key growth driver of the Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) Market. The Global Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) Market report provides a holistic evaluation of the market. The report offers a comprehensive analysis of key segments, trends, drivers, restraints, competitive landscape, and factors that are playing a substantial role in the market.

Global Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) Market Definition

Cement is a dry powdery substance made by calcining lime and clay, mixed with water to form mortar, or mixed with sand, gravel, and water to make concrete. Therefore, cement act as the glue that offers strength to architecture. Moreover, mortar is a mixture of cement and sand whereas concrete also includes harshly combined. Furthermore, Ordinary Portland cement refers to the hydraulic binding material by mixing the suitable amount of portland cement clinker, composite material, and gypsum, this cement is the chief binding characteristic that gives power to the structural component.

Portland cement is composed of four basic chemical compounds i.e., Tricalcium silicate, Dicalcium silicate, Tricalcium aluminate, and Tetra calcium aluminoferrite. In addition, the reaction between the cement and water starts on the surface of the cement particles. Thus, the higher the surface area of a given volume of cement the greater the hydration. The fine portland cement will develop strength and generate heat more quickly than coarse cement. It will of course cost more for grinding the clinker more finely.

Moreover, the chemical combination of portland cement and water is known as hydration harvest a very rigid and strong binding medium for the accumulated particles in the concrete. Furthermore, at the time of hydration normally heat is emancipated which is disseminated as calories per gram. Besides, the rate of hydration hinges on the relative characteristics of silicates and aluminate compounds, the fineness of the portland cement, and the ambient temperature.

Global Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) Market Overview

The rise in disposable income acts as a primary growth driver in the Global Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) Market. Therefore, soundness is a physical property of cement paste, which determines the ability of the portland cement. The unsoundness is due to the presence of free CaO (lime) and free MgO (magnesia) in cement. These constituents hydrate very slowly after the setting of cement. Thus Ca (OH)2 and Mg (OH)2 occupy a larger volume, then expansion takes place. Moreover, Portland cement has rounded cement particles and they have a higher fineness value.

Owing to the rounded shape concrete move more freely and more fineness of particles allows for better filling of the pores. This type of cement also gives better cohesiveness to concrete. Also, PPC cement also reduces the rate of slump loss of concrete as compared to concrete made with ordinary cement, particularly in hot weather conditions which acts as a major restrain and diminishes the growth of the Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) Market.

Also, OPC is used for large-scale concreting because it has a higher heat of hydration than PPC and it produces relatively less solid concrete than PPC, so pumping the concrete becomes a bit difficult which is another restraining factor of the market. On the contrary, the treatment period of OPC is shorter than PPC hence the cost of treatment is reduced, therefore recommended that the cost-prohibitive treatment will occur and OPC has great resistance to cracking and shrinkage which works as the major key growth driver of the Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) Market.
