Key Growth Drivers and Trends in the Canada Cement Market
Growth in the Canada cement market is being driven primarily by the decarbonization push shaping plant upgrades. Cement producers are moving toward cleaner operations by upgrading legacy facilities with more efficient digital systems and advanced automation platforms that cut emissions and optimize output. Plants producing low-carbon cement blends are scaling up, often alongside pilot carbon capture initiatives, reflecting a strategy focused less on expanding capacity and more on retooling existing assets to align with climate goals.
One example of this trend is Lafarge Canada's modernization of its Bath Cement Plant in Ontario in October 2024 using ABB's advanced control system, ABB Ability System 800xA. The upgrade is expected to improve process efficiency and support Lafarge's decarbonization goals. The plant produces over 1 Million Tons of low-carbon OneCem annually and is also piloting carbon capture technology.
Another key factor supporting Canada cement market growth is the rise of low-carbon cement alternatives. New materials based on magnesium cement are entering the Canadian market as viable substitutes for traditional options. These fire-rated, moisture-resistant products use locally sourced components, reducing reliance on gypsum and imported MgO, and use proprietary technology that converts industrial waste into cement. In March 2025, ZS2 Technologies introduced its second-generation magnesium cement materials in Canada, including TechBoard, TechTile, and TechStone, backed by USD 9.9 Million in grants.
