Calcium Sulphite Market

Market outlook: Calcium sulphite

Calcium sulphite is a calcium salt of sulfurous acid with hemihydrate and tetrahydrate as two crystalline forms. Calcium sulphite is a byproduct of flue gas and coal combustion and spontaneously converts to gypsum on exposure to water or air. The antioxidant properties of calcium sulphite make it useful for protecting food from deterioration caused by oxidation. The reductant and biocidal property of calcium sulphite enable it to be used as a food and drink preservative as well as a disinfectant

At present calcium sulphite is being widely used as a bleaching additive for a variety of foods such as beer, wine, and processed meat. The presence of calcium makes it useful for enhancing the firmness of frozen foods such as cookies. The hemihydrate form of calcium sulphite is used in medicine as a tablet excipient and for immobilizing casts.

Reasons for Covering Calcium sulphite as a Title

Calcium sulphite market has gained importance over the years due to the wide applications of calcium sulfite as antioxidants in food and drug industry. The strong reductant and toxic activity against oxidizing bacteria along with its ability to inhibit the formation of acid in coal waste are some of the expected factors for boosting the demand of calcium sulphite in the forecast period.

Some government regulations associated with calcium sulphite have hampered the growth of calcium sulphite in some regions due to provoking of allergic reactions in some populations. R&D industries are focusing on overcoming the demerits associated with calcium sulphite for increasing its use in ready-to-eat food and flavor enhancers. The global calcium sulphite market is anticipated to show a visible growth due to expansion in the food industry.

Calcium Sulfite Market: Region-wise Outlook

At present North America dominates the calcium sulphite market but with the changing lifestyle, innovation in technology and increasing consumer awareness the demand for calcium sulphite is expected to increase at a considerable rate in the Asia-Pacific region due to the expansion of Pulp and paper, food and beverage and water treatment industries.

Asia-Pacific is followed by Europe. Due to the stringent regulations concerned with the food and drinks in Europe, the calcium sulphite market is expected to experience a slower growth in the calcium sulphite market but expected to catch up with the other countries in the forecast period. Apart from these regions, the food and beverage industry is expanding in the MEA region at a significant rate thus, propelling the global calcium sulfide market.
