1World totals and estimated data are rounded to no more than three significant digits; may not add to totals shown. Even where presented unrounded,-
reported data are thought to be accurate to no more than three significant digits. Data are from a variety of sources, including the European Cement
Association.
2Table includes data available through July 9, 2009. Data may include clinker exports for some countries.
3Reported figure.
4Data are for fiscal year ending March 31 of the following year.
5Data for 2006-08 are for gray cement only; white cement output was likely to have been an additional 50,000 to 100,000 metric tons per year.
6Not included in Serbia data.
7Excludes Kosovo data.
8Montenegro and Serbia formally declared independence in June 2006 from each other and dissolved their union. Montenegro has no cement plants.
9Data have been adjusted to remove sales of cementitious materials other than finished cement. Material sales removed (mostly fly ash and ground-
granulated blast furnace slag) amounted, in metric tons, to: 2004-1,438,567; 2005-1,511,716; 2006-1,599,505; 2007-1,664,304; and-
2008-1,395,124.
10Portland and masonry cements only.
