Market Growth Factors
Investment in the refurbishment of public infrastructure by the government is an important driver for growth in the French cement market. Large construction projects require site preparation, upgrades to transportation infrastructure, warehouses, and utilities, all of which consume high amounts of cement. Pro-business tax, labor and foreign direct investment reforms by the government make the country a favorable destination for manufacturing, logistics and data centers. France is expected to be the top destination in Europe for industrial investment in 2024, with 415 new industrial projects, over 25% of foreign manufacturing investments. Cement per capita consumption for infrastructure and industrial developments is expected to increase owing to the same.
Another reason cement demand rises is for residential housing from urbanization and renovating existing buildings. Residential construction should continue to grow because government initiates programs and housing plus infrastructure develops on a sustainable trend.
In response the cement industry substitutes cement clinker with low carbon options like slag fly ash and calcined clays because of regulatory pressure and national climate change action plans that target reduced GHG emissions from cement. For example, a target of 50% reduction by 2030 against a 1990 baseline and non-carbon-based energy use of 58%. The piloting of CCS technologies, environmental product declarations and lifecycle assessments will foster competitiveness and compliance with decarbonization programs and create synergies with other climate programs, in addition to promoting innovation, market development and breakthrough technologies for cement production.

Recent Developments & News
On 21 May 2025, Ecocem announced a EUR 170 Million (about USD 194.06 Million) investment to construct four new cement production lines in Fos-sur-Mer and Dunkirk, and an additional EUR 50 Million (around USD 57 Million) investment in its Dunkirk ACT line. Scheduled to be operational between 2028 and 2030, these facilities will produce 1.9 Mta of low-carbon ACT cement and reduce CO₂ emissions by 800,000 tonnes annually. The French government supports this initiative with operational and financial backing, and the project will create 60 permanent jobs.
