China's cement production capacity in 2022 included an estimated 1.51 billion metric tons from its integrated cement plants, and a further estimated 124.5 million metric tons per year from its grinding plants.
China has the highest cement production capacity in the world by far, at an estimated 1.64 billion metric tons per year (or more*).
Production capacity of cement in China from 2020 to 2022, by plant type
(in million metric tons per year)
*China was the world's largest cement producer by far based on installed capacity and production volume in 2022. However, the massive scale of the industry and the likely unreliability of the statistics provided by China means that China's actual cement production capacity is likely much higher than reported. For example, the USGS states that China's cement capacity is approximately 2.5 billion metric tons per year, while other sources estimate it to be up to 3.5 billion metric tons per year.
This statistic has been assembled using more than one annual edition of the magazine issue.
