U.S. Forecast, April 2013

Media Type: PDF & Excel
PCA maintains an optimist outlook for economic, construction, and cement consumption growth. Continued improvement in underlying fundamentals and gradual release of pent-up demand are expected to form the basis of the outlook. Private sector growth, largely related to the budding housing recovery, is expected to offset continued near-term public construction weakness resulting from tight state fiscal conditions and federal sequestration.
