Calcium Carbonate Market Definition
Calcium carbonate is a carbonate mineral and it is the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Calcium carbonate is a very common mineral, mainly it is the main component of limestone and marble. These calcium carbonate are very common and available in enormous amounts in the Earth's crust. The calcium carbonate market is mainly divided into precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) and ground calcium carbonate (GCC) globally.
Calcium Carbonate Market Dynamics
Drivers
- Increasing usage of calcium carbonate in agriculture sector
Calcium carbonate is mostly used in the field of agriculture. Calcium carbonate is the major component of limestone. This is highly used mineral to balance the soil acidity and deliver the calcium to the plants for proper nutrition. It is used for the better growth of plants and crops and also aids to absorb the water from the environment which keeps the soil moist and soft. The increasing usage of calcium carbonate in agriculture is projected to drive the market's growth.
- Growing demand of calcium carbonate in paper industry
Calcium carbonate has been showing lucrative demand in paper industry. Ground calcium carbonate and precipitated calcium carbonate both are experiencing traction for the manufacture of paper. Precipitated calcium carbonate continues to be the important material for the manufacture of paper because of its better operational flexibility. The adoption of precipitated calcium carbonate in papers industry has improved the printing surfaces of the paper. Thus, the rising demand of both ground calcium carbonate and precipitated calcium carbonate in paper industry is expected to drive the growth rate of the calcium carbonate market.
Also, the favorable properties of calcium carbonate and growth in the polymer and plastics production industries are some other major factors which are expected to upsurge the demand of the calcium carbonate in the market during forecast period of 2025-2032.
Opportunities
- Surging the demand of calcium carbonate in construction industry
In recent construction, calcium carbonate is used in the form of limestone to generate concrete and cement. Marbles are highly used for showcasing the beauty in numerous patterns and colors. The upsurge in demand for, bathroom countertops, kitchen tabletop and marble flooring will create lucrative opportunities for the growth of the calcium carbonate market in upcoming years. Also, in India, the construction industry has gained lot of investments through many private equity investments which is also anticipated to witness a healthy growth during the forecast period.
Restraints/Challenges
- Effect on human health
Calcium carbonate dust is a physical irritant of the nose, eyes, and human skin. The contact of calcium carbonate dust with eyes causes inflammation, redness, pain, whereas contact with the skin it causes irritation at moderate level.
Moreover, increase in cost owing to high transportation duties and stringent rules are anticipated to hinder the market growth during the forecast period of 2025-2032.
