The largest cement industries are now in the developing world due to new investments and capacity expansion as well as the high demand for cement. Mature markets such as Europe and the United States are at a repair and maintain stage which requires very little cement. This study looks at the current demand and forecasts future demand for grinding aids and quality improvers in Africa's fastest growing cement industries, Nigeria and South Africa. Cement companies looking to differentiate themselves from the competition and will look for novel, cost-effective additives to achieve this. This presents an opportunity in these traditionally under-penetrated markets.
