24、urope and North America continue to grow at moderate paceWhile the decreasing proportion of developed markets in global cement reflects the extremely strong growth in China over the previous two decades,we also note that demand in developed markets has declined by 31%from a peak of 432mt in 2006 to
25、299mt this year.Over the last three years though,cement demand in developed markets has grown,driven by a moderate pick-up in North America with some growth in Western Europe,while Developed Asia has posted low growth(due to a lack of growth in Japan).From here,we expect the demand in the North Amer
26、ica and Western Europe tocontinue growing,albeit at a moderate pace in 2019-21 with slightly negative trends in Developed Asia.Overall for 2020 and 2021,we expect cement demand in developed markets to grow at+2%per year.19%47%58%60%60%81%53%42%40%40%0%20%40%60%80%100%198520052010E20152020EChinaRest

31、 no growth from China,but+3%growth in EM ex-China.We expect this growth to come from Asia ex-China(+5%,mainly attributed to mid-single-digit growth expectations for India and Indonesia),Africa(+3%),and Eastern Europe(+3%).Figure 5:J.P.Morgan outlook for cement demand in emerging markets%chg y/ySourc

34、 cost inflation.Utilisation rates might decrease with capacity increases,despite volume growth,as has been the case in several emerging markets over recent years.In the following section,we review this theme in detail,through our updated J.P.Morgan proprietary supply database.Expect moderate demand
35、improvement to support profitability in DMWe expect profitability in DM cement operations to be supported by moderate improvement in utilisation rates as we see(i)no major capacity addition announcements in developed markets and(ii)continued increase in demand at a moderate pace.We view both demand
36、and supply perspectives as broadly providing support to pricing trends and margins in the near to medium term.Picture for EM margins remains mixed although slightly improvingImproving demand backdrop should help margins in EMs.J.P.Morgan regional analysts expect the outlook for margins to be broadly
37、 stable/slight improvement in most EM markets,particularly in the backdrop of subdued inflation.We note that supply discipline is less straightforward than in DMs,in our view.Returns on incremental capacity declined over 2012-15 and stabilised over the last 3-4 years.Our proprietary supply database
38、suggests that the pace of capacity addition announcements in EM this year is mixed,with Eastern Europe showing minimal intentions,Latin America and Middle East Africa displaying a rise in intentions,and Asia exhibiting a slowdown in intentions but to more normalized levels.Also,40%of the identified
39、projects are for grinding capacity,which is an incremental positive as clinker supply is growing at a slower pace.The outlook for EM cement margins is expected to improve marginally,driven by a recovering demand outlook,partly tempered by sustained supply growth in the near term,although low returns
