68.4 million metric tons, or 75.2 million tons, of cement were consumed in the United States in 2009. Nearly two-thirds of cement consumption occurs between May and October, closely correlating with the construction season. The majority of cement is shipped to ready mixed concrete producers which accounts for 72% of cement consumption.
