Substitutes for cement are so limited that this commodity is used in almost every single construction around the globe – from a very modest house to the most complex infrastructure venture, from the foundation to the very end.
Still, there are some very specific facts about cement production and distribution that makes their supply chain more complex than others: there is no stop to demand year-round, it is vital to every construction work, it requires a lot of storage space and it is perishable, which means it has to be stored under special condition throughout its supply chain.
