Global Calcium Carbonate Market: Key Highlights
·
In terms
of value, the global calcium carbonate market is anticipated to expand at
a CAGR of ~6% from 2019 to 2027.
·
Calcium
carbonate is widely used as a filler or pigment in paper, plastic, and paints
& coatings. It is also used as a dietary supplement.
·
The
demand for precipitated as well as ground calcium carbonate in these end-use
industries has been continuously rising. As such, the global calcium carbonate
market is estimated to expand at a steady pace during the forecast period.
·
Calcium
carbonate is used as an inexpensive dietary calcium supplement and antacid.
Other applications of calcium carbonate are the polishing and cleaning of rice,
and as a cleaning component in shoe polish.
·
According
to research conducted by the Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri,
in 2016, the growth of cancerous tumors can be restricted using
nanoparticles of calcium carbonate. Nanoparticles act on the pH of tumors, and
change the pH from acidic to alkaline.
·
Researchers
are striving to determine the compatibility of calcium carbonate nanoparticles
with chemotherapy drugs, and the optimal dose of these particles to prevent the
metastasis of tumors. The usage of calcium carbonate nanoparticles as a measure
against cancer is a new development in the medical field. This is expected to
boost the demand for calcium carbonate in the healthcare industry.

Regulatory Framework for Mining Calcium Carbonate
to Hamper Demand
·
Rise in
human health and environmental concerns due to release of toxins such as
dioxins and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls during calcium carbonate
mining is restricting the growth of the global calcium carbonate market. A
large number of regulatory approvals are required to mine calcium carbonate
from its reserves. This factor may hamper the global calcium carbonate market
during the forecast period.
·
Calcium
carbonate is mined from limestone. Limestone is essential for maintaining
underground water levels, and excess mining of calcium carbonate could lead to
water depletion.
·
Dust
released during quarrying limestone affects the health of individuals. It
causes allergy in the eyes, nose, mucous membrane, and skin of human beings.
Exposure to this dust also causes coughing, sneezing, and nasal irritation.
Thus, Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA) mandates certain industrial
practices, such as the use of respirators when the concentration of calcium
carbonate exceeds the prescribed limit in the U.S.
·
Europe
has laid down the CLP Regulation for the usage of calcium carbonate. The
regulation involves the classification, labelling, and packaging of substances
and mixtures. The objective of this regulation is to determine which properties
of substances and mixtures are classified as hazardous.

Ground Calcium Carbonate Product to Lead Global
Calcium Carbonate Market
·
In terms
of product, the ground calcium carbonate segment accounted for a major share of
~70% of the global calcium carbonate market in 2018.
The dominance of this segment is expected to continue during the forecast
period.
·
There is
high demand for ground calcium carbonate in China, owing to rise in the
application of paper and plastic products in the country.
·
The
ground calcium carbonate product segment has been sub-categorized into uncoated
ground calcium carbonate and coated ground calcium carbonate. Among these two,
the uncoated ground calcium carbonate sub-segment accounted for a major share
of ~ 80% of the uncoated ground calcium carbonate segment
in 2018.
·
Precipitated
calcium carbonate (PCC), being synthetically produced, is expensive as compared
to ground calcium carbonate, and hence, is used in only a few applications.

High Demand for Calcium Carbonate in Paper End-use
Industry
·
Based on
end-use industry, the global calcium carbonate market has been segregated into
paper, plastic, paint, rubber, adhesives & sealants, building &
construction, and others.
·
The paper
end-use industry segment accounted for a high share of ~35% of the global
calcium carbonate market in 2018. Calcium carbonate is
primarily employed as a filler in the manufacturing of paper. It is also used
as a key ingredient in plastic waterproof cement and tape joint cement.
·
Ground
calcium carbonate is widely used as an additive in plastic manufacturing in
injection molding, blow molding, and extrusion coating. It allows polymers to
heat and cool rapidly, which helps in high productivity, output, and fast
conversion for plastic producers. It reduces energy use during the plastic
manufacturing process, and minimizes the carbon footprint and greenhouse gas
impact of finished plastic products.

Asia Pacific a Lucrative Market for Calcium
Carbonate
·
The
calcium carbonate market in Asia Pacific is likely to grow at a significant
pace, with a rise in the demand for calcium carbonate in China. High
consumption of calcium carbonate in China can be attributed to factors such as
increasing production of paper and rising demand for paints & coatings due
to increased construction activities in the country.
·
India is
anticipated to become a prominent market for plastics, globally, in the near
future. Significant increase in market size and demand for plastic is expected
to render India as a major destination for plastic consumption. The calcium
carbonate market in Asia Pacific is likely to increase due to growing demand
for plastics applications by 2027.
·
The paper
industry in Asia Pacific, particularly in China and India, is projected to
witness moderate rise in the consumption of calcium carbonate for its use as a filler,
in the near future. China and India are anticipated to be key markets for
calcium carbonate by 2027.
