Calcium Carbonate Market

Calcium Carbonate Market Outlook 2031

The global calcium carbonate market size was valued at USD 44.70 Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach USD 79.46 Billion by 2031 expand at a substantial CAGR 6.6% during the forecast period, 2023–2031. The growth of the market is attributed to increasing adoption of calcium carbonate to enhance the properties of polymeric materials.

Calcium carbonate is a chemical compound that is white in color and non-toxic. It is found in rocks as calcium and calcite crystals, and in eggs, snail skins, mussels, and pearls. The active component in agricultural limestone is calcium carbonate, which is formed when calcium ions in saltwater combine with carbonate ions to form limescale.

It is used in medicine as a calcium supplement or as an antacid, but excessive use can be harmful, causing metabolic alkalosis and digestive problems. It is a major component of chalk, limestone, and marble. Digging or mining are used to obtain calcium carbonate for use in industrial operations. Precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) and ground calcium carbonate (GCC) are common types of the chemical compound.

PCC contains small and regulated particle sizes, whereas GCC has a powdery-like texture with varying particle sizes. Calcium carbonate is widely utilised as a filler in the paper and paperboard industries due to its high brightness and light reflecting characteristics. It is also utilised in the acrylic and coatings industry as a coating material.
