The 43rd issue of ICCM features an interview with Phil Hodgson, Managing Director at Calix, about carbon capture and storage (CCS) and how it can help the cement sector step up its ecologic game. We also assess how the Indian cement industry can withstand increasing input costs and adverse weather conditions. Emphasis is also given to cement prices in 2Q 2018 and the trends and reasons behind their positive evolution. Moreover, CW Research looks into the market of white cement, a premium building material traditionally favored by developed markets, but that is rising among emerging economies. ICCM also draws a timeline of the latest developments in the US-China trade dispute and ponders on how a possible trade war could affect the global cement industry.
