Calcium Carbonate market Analysis (2017-2021) Vs. Market Outlook (2022-2032)

As per latest industry analysis by Fact.MR, a market research and competitive intelligence provider, global calcium carbonate consumption over the past half-decade increased at a CAGR of around 6.3%.

Calcium carbonate is a key raw ingredient in the production of paper and products. An example of slow digital transition in Asia-Pacific is that there are increasing demands for paper. As a result of the growing financial status in developing nations, paper packaging has seen a rise due to the influence of paper.

China, India, and countries in Southeast and Southasia are the largest paper users around the world. In addition to e-commerce development in India and China, there is also an increasing number of parcel shipments originating in those aforementioned countries.

The most recent worldwide trend is the rising usage of calcium carbonate nanoparticles in the pharmaceutical, plastic, and rubber sectors. Calcium carbonate is a frequent kaolin substitute in the paper industry.

Calcium carbonate is a naturally occurring chemical compound with the molecular formula CaCO3. Calcium carbonate accounts up more than 4% of the earth's crust. Aragonite, calcite, and dolomite are the three natural forms of calcium carbonate.

Marble, limestone, and chalk are additional prevalent natural forms of calcium carbonate that are created over millions of years by the sedimentation of fossilized coral, oyster, and snail shells. These three forms are chemically equivalent, yet they differ in whiteness, thickness, purity, and homogeneity.

Due to its diverse uses, calcium carbonate is one of the most versatile and strong materials. Mining and quarrying can provide calcium carbonate for industrial usage. For medicinal and culinary use, a pure form of calcium carbonate is necessary, and it can be made from a pure quarry source such as marble.

Different commercial varieties of calcium carbonate are now being created to fulfill various technological demands by optimizing attributes such as fineness, color, and particle size distribution.

What is driving the Global Market for Calcium Carbonate?

Calcium carbonate consumption is increasing as the global infrastructure develops. The growth of the automobile industry has increased the need for calcium carbonate as a raw material.

Since calcium carbonate nanoparticles are used to coat metals, polymers, and nanowires, the market for calcium carbonate is rising. They are also employed for catalytic reasons, possible imaging, and drug delivery loading of hydrophilic protein medicines.

The market expansion can be aided by the global adoption of sustainable construction approaches as habitat solutions. The market for diverse forms of calcium carbonate has grown because of innovative production processes.

Due to its availability calcium carbonate is used as a substitute for various additives including wood pulp. The use of alkaline-based process technologies is increasing, which is driving up calcium carbonate demand. It also helps to safeguard the environment by sulphurising flue gas. Dolomite is increasingly utilized to refortify excessively acidified fields and bodies of water.

Region-wise Analysis

The calcium carbonate market in Europe is expected to grow from US$ 10.1 Billion in 2021 to US$ 16.1 Billion by 2032 at a CAGR of 4.4% from 2021 to 2032. Due to the significant demand from sectors such as paints and coatings, adhesives and sealants, and paper manufacture, the United States has been a prominent market for calcium carbonate. The United States is one of the top paper producers globally.

Nano and micro-sized calcium carbonate particles are currently being manufactured as a result of the demand for novel products in the calcium carbonate industry in Europe. Much of the research into the production process of these particles in recent years has been directed toward attaining specified sizes and shapes. They typically have a high surface area-to-volume ratio, making them biocompatible.

The upcoming years are likely to see a strong move toward the advent of nano calcium carbonate particles in chemical, biological, and industrial applications, which will propel the European market forward.
