What are the Key Factors that May Impact Sales of Cement in Qatar?

Increasing Real Estate Pricing May Hamper Demand for Quick Cement Mix in Qatar

Few raw materials used in the manufacturing of cement are chalk, limestone, shale, shells, silica sand, and clay. Environment and human health are both negatively impacted by its manufacturing in several ways. Inhaling dust particles can irritate the throat and nose, and make breathing challenging. Cement manufacturing also generates a substantial amount of pollution.

The third-largest industrial polluter, according to the USA Environmental Protection Agency, is the cement industry. This is because it emits more than 500 kilotons per year of carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, and nitrogen oxide. Governments put numerous environmental laws on the cement manufacturing process as a result of these considerations. Owing to these factors, it is projected that it may slow market expansion.

With strict regulations imposed by the government, soaring real estate pricing is also one of the other factors that may hinder growth. Real estate prices have been gradually rising as developers try to maintain profit margins in the face of recovering demand and rising construction costs.

Numerous companies still require employees to work at least part of the time in the office. Whereas, few people are willing to relocate to big cities. Hence, urban housing markets are changing and rental costs are rising.

Luxury apartment projects, luxury residences, and villa developments are all seeing a surge in terms of sales. With implementation of Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) in the sector, Non Resident Indians (NRIs) are seeing it as a profitable alternative to investment. It has provided high regulatory controls, enhanced transparency, and increased consolidation. This will help in pushing the construction industry, which will further enable the cement market to surge.
