What we count
Estimated world production of hydraulic cement, including the main types used in construction.
Cement produced this year
How many tonnes of cement the world has produced this year, why this differs from concrete production and how the figure relates to the USGS 2025 estimate.

What lies behind this number
Estimated world production of hydraulic cement, including the main types used in construction.
How the source derives it
USGS compiles national mining and industry statistics and marks estimates where country data are incomplete.
What one number cannot show
The figure is not concrete production and does not distinguish the emissions intensity of different cement types.
Source value
The calculation uses the annual value published by USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries 2026 for 2025 (estimate). It is the latest value published by this source.
How the value is used: The running number shows the share corresponding to time elapsed since the start of the year.

Source value
USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries 2026 reports the latest published value used by the calculation for 2025 (estimate).
Elapsed share
We calculate the share corresponding to time elapsed since the start of the year. The counter restarts at the beginning of the next calendar year.
Smooth display
The result is recalculated on screen every 0.1 seconds.
Where the data comes from
The source value comes from USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries 2026 and refers to 2025 (estimate). We use it because it is the latest value published by this source. USGS compiles national mining and industry statistics and marks estimates where country data are incomplete.
