U.S. demand for cement declined slightly, following 5 consecutive years of growth. The value of new construction put in place increased slightly, precipitated by small increases in public works construction activity. Among the consuming regions of the country only the East North Central, Pacific, and South Atlantic regions experienced gains in cement consumption. Domestic production declined for the third year in a row as producers continued to rely on lower cost imports to fill the supply-demand gap. The average reported per ton value of portland cement sold declined to its lowest level since 1979. The value of masonry cement sold also declined, after reaching a record high in 1987. Acquisition of U.S. cement plants continued. By yearend, approximately 65% of U.S. cement production capacity had been acquired by foreign owners.
