Cement industry in South Korea - statistics & facts
Cement is a key building material worldwide, which is most commonly used as a binding agent in the manufacturing processes of concrete and mortar. The vast majority of construction permits issued in South Korea were for steel-reinforced or framed concrete structures. While South Korea is active in both cement production and trade, most of the cement used within the country is locally produced. This thriving domestic cement manufacturing industry has led to South Korea becoming one of the leading cement producers worldwide.
