Growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita, a measurement of the average national standard of living, can be a contributing factor to cement demand. Increased industrialisation caused by economic expansion has a tendency to drive corresponding increases in cement consumption. This relationship is well known and has been widely used in the past to both judge the relative economic growth between nations and forecast likely cement consumption rates as a given nation's GDP increases. It is this latter use that the current article focuses on, examining the relationship of the two variables in detail across multiple years to assess the relevance of the measures as an accurate forecasting tool.
