World construction aggregates demand is forecast to expand 2.9 percent annually through 2013 to 28.0 billion metric tons. The Asia/Pacific region will experience the most intense growth, as nonbuilding, residential building and nonresidential building construction spending in the area increases rapidly. A number of countries in the region are expected to post large gains, including China, India and Indonesia. China alone will account for three-fifths of all new global product demand between 2008 and 2013.
