PCA MARKET INTELLIGENCE

Data. Forecasts. Insights. Analysis.

The cement industry is a bellwether for the U.S. economy – it is tied to construction, infrastructure, energy and many other sectors. The Portland Cement Association’s award winning team of economists provides guidance and analysis on the manufacturing and use of cement across industrial sectors through graphs, reports and thought leadership. PCA regularly updates market intelligence products to reflect the latest economic data and analysis. Our economists have been recognized for their accuracy as forecasters, including by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and the construction industry trade press. Members of our economics team have testified before Congress on behalf of the industry. PCA forecasts are widely used in corporate planning, government policy development and by the news media.
