Global Calcium Carbonate Market 2025 – 2034

Description for Reports

The market for calcium carbonate is forecast to grow at a CAGR of roughly 5.5% between 2022 and 2030, reaching a value of USD 30.6 billion by the end of 2030, up from an estimated value of USD 20.4 billion in 2021.

During the forecast period, the study examines the market’s drivers and restraints and the influence each would have on demand. The research also examines potential global markets for calcium carbonates.

Overview of the calcium carbonate market

Calcium carbonate, present in the minerals calcite and aragonite, is a naturally occurring component of rocks. Water cannot dissolve calcium carbonate, which is frequently an odourless white powder. A few of the significant end-use sectors are paper, plastics, adhesives and sealants, construction, paints and coatings, pharmaceuticals, automotive, agricultural, and rubber.

Impact Study of the Calcium Carbonate Market in COVID-19

The COVID pandemic has reduced demand for homes, vehicles, paints, and coatings, slowing trade and upsetting the calcium carbonate supply chain. The demand for calcium carbonate is directly impacted by business instability, which affects some companies, including those in the construction, paper, plastic, and automotive sectors.

Market for Calcium Carbonate: Growth Indicators

The construction industry is expanding significantly due to increased public and private sector investment. Calcium carbonate is predicted to rise in the next years due to increased residential and commercial buildings brought on by rising urbanization rates and middle-class disposable income.

Calcium Carbonate Market: Segmentation Analysis

Type and End-User are the categories used to segment the global calcium carbonate market.

Building and construction paper, plastics, paints, rubber, adhesives, and sealants are just a few end-use industries that use calcium carbonate and its derivatives, such as calcium hydrogen carbonate. A variety of thermoplastics can be utilized with calcium carbonate. Polypropylene compounds typically incorporate calcium carbonate to increase stiffness, which is important for high-temperature activities.

Many polyvinyl chloride goods use calcium carbonate, such as pipes, wire and cable insulators, rubber gloves, waste bags, stiff extrusion pipes, ducts, and windows. Calcium carbonate in ground form is often used in several paint and coating applications (GCC).

Calcium carbonate is a filler used in the production of paper and plastic. The enormous global need for paper and plastic, notably in Asia, Latin America, and Africa, drives the need for calcium carbonate. Paper packaging has become more popular in some locations due to the fall in the use of polythene bags.

Among the end-user industries for calcium carbonate, plastics are predicted to see the fastest value rise throughout the prediction. This is due to the growing demand for calcium carbonate-reinforced polypropylene in the automotive industry and the fact that calcium carbonate can increase the plastic’s properties and aid in better heat dissipation. Plastic use in various end-use industries, such as packaging, building and construction, electrical, and electronics, has also increased plastic demand. These components aid in the plastics industry’s market growth for calcium carbonate.
