Canada Cement Market

Canada Cement Market Overview:

The Canada cement market size reached USD 8,192.90 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 12,874.23 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.15% during 2025-2033. Rising residential and infrastructure construction, especially in Ontario and British Columbia, replacement demand for aging structures, low-interest rates, and government-backed housing and green infrastructure programs are some of the factors contributing to Canada cement market share. Demand also reflects industrial recovery, population growth, and proximity to US export opportunities.

Canada Cement Market Trends:

Decarbonization Push Shaping Plant Upgrades

Cement producers in Canada are moving toward cleaner operations by upgrading legacy facilities with more efficient digital systems. Modernization efforts now include integrating advanced automation platforms to cut emissions and optimize output. Plants producing low-carbon cement blends are scaling up, often pairing these shifts with pilot carbon capture initiatives. This signals a deeper shift in production strategy, less about expanding capacity and more about retooling what already exists to align with climate goals. Ontario’s facilities are among those pivoting, showing how older plants can still be part of future-focused infrastructure. The result is increased investment in smart technologies that not only boost performance but also reinforce the push toward sustainable construction materials. These factors are intensifying the Canada cement market growth. For example, in October 2024, Lafarge Canada modernized its Bath Cement Plant in Ontario using ABB's advanced control system, ABB Ability System 800xA. This upgrade would improve process efficiency and support Lafarge’s decarbonization goals. The plant, producing over 1 Million Tons of low-carbon OneCem annually, is also piloting carbon capture technology, strengthening its role in sustainable construction and the Canadian cement market’s shift toward cleaner operations.

Low-Carbon Cement Alternatives Gaining Ground

New materials based on magnesium cement are entering the Canadian market as viable substitutes for traditional options. These next-gen products are fire-rated, moisture-resistant, and made with locally sourced components, reducing reliance on gypsum and imported MgO. By using proprietary technology that converts industrial waste into cement, manufacturers are targeting both performance and emissions. With public funding helping scale these efforts, such alternatives are drawing attention in the construction sector. The combination of fire safety, durability, and reduced environmental impact positions these materials as a practical choice for builders looking to meet stricter codes and climate targets without sacrificing quality. For instance, in March 2025, ZS2 Technologies introduced its second-generation magnesium cement materials in Canada, offering fire-rated, low-carbon alternatives to traditional gypsum and MgO imports. The new lineup, TechBoard, TechTile, TechStone, uses domestic inputs and patented waste-to-cement tech. Backed by USD 9.9 Million in grants, the products improve durability and moisture resistance, supporting Canada’s push for greener, high-performance construction solutions in the cement and building materials market.
