Calcium carbonate or CaCO3 is a chemical natural
compound of carbohydrate salt. It is composed of three elements oxygen, carbon,
and calcium. It is a white solid, non-toxic and odorless. It is used as a
calcium supplement or as an antacid medicinally. It occurs naturally in
numerous mineral forms including the aragonite, pure calcite, and vat rite
minerals as well as the impure minerals such as limestone, marble, chalk, and
travertine. It is also the main chemical constituent of sea shells, eggshells,
snail shells, oyster shells, corals, etc. It is soluble in acetic acid, lactic
acid, citric acid, and phosphoric acid. Its pH is above 6 and extensively used
in commercial &industrial applications. It is used for producing various
chemical compounds for instance polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polypropylene, unsaturated
polyester, polyethylene, and rubber.
Based on type, calcium carbonate market is segmented
into Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) and Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC).
Based on application, market is segmented into raw substance for construction
material, additive for thermoplastics, dietary supplement, component of
adhesives, filler & pigment, neutralizing agent in soil, desulfurization of
fuel gas and other applications. In addition, based on end-user industries,
market is segmented into paper, adhesive & sealant, plastic, construction, pharmaceutical,
paints & coatings, agriculture, automotive, rubber and others.
The calcium carbonate market is driven by expand in
additive coating industry, followed by increase in investments in construction
sector, rise in demand from paper & plastic industries, growth in the use
of pharmaceutical industries for manufacture of medicinal tablets, increase in
awareness for personal & surrounding’s hygiene and rise in use of alkaline
based process technology. However, health safety regulations from government,
limited reserves of calcium carbonate and increase in cost due to high
transportation charges may impact the market. Moreover, rise in investment in
developing countries is a key opportunity for market.
Based on geography, the Asian-Pacific region holds
major share in calcium carbonate market owing to rise in demand from industries
such as paper & pulp, plastic, and automotive and growth in construction
activities in the region. The North-American and European regions are expected
to witness higher growth rate due to rise in demand from food & beverage,
painting & coatings and high production & sales of paper & pulp
products over the forecast period. Furthermore, The Middle East & Africa region
is also expected to experience a substantial market growth as a result of
expand in infrastructural activities during the forecast period.
