    Competitive Landscape Brief

    Demand is determined primarily by nonresidential and residential construction activity. The profitability of individual companies is strongly dependent on efficient operations, as products are commodities and companies compete chiefly on price. Large companies enjoy economies of scale in purchasing and the ability to invest in technologies that improve efficiency. Small manufacturers can compete through superior customer service and by serving small or rural markets. Imports of cement are mainly from countries with low energy costs, since the production process is energy-intensive. Cement imports from Canada are an important competitor in northern states. The US is third in cement production behind China and India.
