China cement production

One USGS world-production table answers China’s output, world share and the ranking of major producers—without confusing production with clinker capacity, concrete output or construction activity.

China and the world

China produced about 44.7% of the world total

China’s 1.7 billion tonnes divided by the 3.8 billion-tonne world total. Both are rounded estimates from the same edition and year, so the share is shown to one decimal place.

Read this first

Production is not capacity

Production is the mass actually produced during the year. Clinker or cement capacity is the potential annual output of installed equipment under stated conditions.

Read the precision

Rounded estimates do not support false precision

China, World and country values are rounded estimates. The 44.7% share is suitable for scale reading, not for multi-decimal precision.

What it does not show

Output is not demand or emissions

Imports, exports, inventories, clinker trade, product mix and alternative fuels can make consumption, utilisation and emissions diverge from production.

  1. Product updatev0.8.2

    USGS Cement binary archive evidence completed

    Archived the official USGS MCS 2026 Cement PDF and non-OCR extracted text, froze their byte counts and SHA-256 checksums, and cross-checked the China, India and World table values against the existing same-edition structured snapshot. Published cement values were unchanged.

  2. Product updatev0.8.1

    Cement production added to China-and-the-World formal shares

    Promoted the same-edition USGS 2025 cement production share to a formal China-and-the-World overview card without adding a historical animation.
