Cyprus: The Pancypriot Ready-Mix Concrete Producers and Distributors Association (PSKPÉS) dissolved on 2 December 2024, as workers began to return to work following a two-month strike. The Cyprus Mail newspaper has reported that 480 (86%) of 560 ready-mix concrete workers have now signed deals with employers. 25 companies have signed, out of a total 35 affected. This follows the failure of the PSKPÉS to produce a collective agreement with unions.

Union representative Stelios Efstratiou said "Next steps wherever employers have failed to sign are still to be determined."

India: Market research company Exactitude Consultancy has forecast that the ready-mix concrete market in India will increase at a composite annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9% between 2024 and 2030. It noted that this will result in a total market value of US$1.54tn. This is more than double its size one decade previously in 2020, of US$725bn.

Saudi Arabia: Canada-based CarbonCure Technologies has partnered with concrete producer Abdin and utilities provider Gulf Cryo to produce new reduced-CO₂ concretes for The Line mixed development in NEOM New City. Under the partnership, Abdin will install CarbonCure Technology’s CO₂ injection systems at its Gayal concrete plant.

Robert Niven, CEO of CarbonCure Technologies, said "By helping lay The Line's foundations with a more sustainable concrete, CarbonCure is proudly demonstrating the enormous potential to significantly reduce embodied carbon of future construction across Saudi Arabia, in the Middle East and worldwide."

Singapore: Jurong Port (JP) has officially launched its Ready-Mixed Concrete (RMC) Ecosystem, a complex of five ready-mix concrete plants. The RMC Ecosystem integrates 11 aggregates plots and a neighbouring cement terminal at the port. JP is now one step closer to realising its vision of developing Singapore’s first Integrated Construction Park (ICP), where construction companies can carry out off-site production in one central location. The ICP will feature the efficient discharge of construction inputs directly into a cluster of downstream construction-related activities, thereby improving productivity, reducing carbon emissions and optimising land use.
