GLG Network Survey: Cement Industry Market II

SURVEY DETAILS

TARGET POPULATION

GLG surveyed 70 senior executives working within the cement manufacturing space in the US, UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain. This is the second wave in this tracker series.

What will you learn from this survey?

• Respondents discussed the situation regarding sustainability in construction and actions companies in the sector are taking.
• The survey covered the experts’ views on how likely companies are to adopt low-carbon solutions.
• Lastly, the research gathered the experts’ views on the future of the industry, including further consolidation in the cement industry space.

Example of findings:

• COVID-19 impact has diminished in later years, with only six in ten experts indicating that businesses are likely to change the way they operate in response to the pandemic.
• Less than half of respondents say that they are trying to diversify their portfolio of activities and are following the trend.
• With nearly one-third stating that under 5% of the cement will be substituted for alternative materials, the proportion has seen a reduction in later years.

DELIVERABLES

The GLG Surveys team drafted the questionnaire with the support of GLG Network Member, Gerard Kuperfarb, Owner of Geka Consulting GMBH.

The standard deliverable includes:

• 1 x Individual responses (“raw data”) in Excel.
• 1 x PPT report with aggregated data.
• In-depth PowerPoint report of survey findings presented by the Council Member via webcast (optional).
