Calcium Carbonate Market
Global Calcium Carbonate Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report, By Type (Ground Calcium Carbonate and Precipitated Calcium Carbonate), By End-User Industry (Paper, Adhesives and Sealants, Plastics, Paints and Coatings, Construction, and Others) and Forecast, 2020-2026
The global calcium carbonate market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.5% during the forecast period. Some pivotal factors accelerating the market growth include a significant application in the plastics and paper industry and the cost-effectiveness of calcium carbonate. As a mineral filler, calcium carbonate is extensively utilized in the plastics industry. The use of calcium carbonate in rigid packaging has significantly increased over the years. As a resin extender, the incorporation of calcium carbonate in the plastics industry has been demonstrated to support improved processing, increased performance, and improved sustainability of the finished part. As a plastics additive, calcium carbonate is 100% FDA approved, which supports versatility among applications in critical areas such as medical packaging, food packaging, and foodservice packaging markets.
Calcium carbonate powder has applications across polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes, footwear, cables, leather, flooring, and more. Specialized grades of calcium carbonate are utilized in the manufacturing of tensile and rigid PVC pipes. These are used as fillers to finish the impact strength of plastics. Growing plastics industry owing to its potential demand across several end-use industries such as construction, automobile, and electrical and electronics. As per the PlasticsEurope, the European plastics industry generated a turnover of over $413.3 billion in 2018. The industry had a positive trade balance of over $17.2 billion in 2018. The growth in the plastics industry is in turn driving the adoption of calcium carbonate to improve gloss finish and tensile strength of plastic materials.
Market Segmentation
The global calcium carbonate market is segmented based on the type and end-user industry. Based on type, the market is segmented into ground calcium carbonate and precipitated calcium carbonate. Based on the end-user industry, the market is segmented into paper, adhesives and sealants, plastics, paints and coatings, construction, and others.
Ground Calcium Carbonate Finds Significant Application Across End-User Industries
Ground calcium carbonates (GCC) are extensively used as fillers in adhesives and sealants, paper, paints and coatings, plastics, and in the production of rubber. GCC is usually the prime ingredient of ceramic tile adhesives (CTA's), sealants, and fillers, often up to 80% of the formulation. It has long been utilized as a filler in materials such as roofing felt, asphalt, and plasters. GCC is utilized to bulk out or extend the polymers and resins in paints. Additionally, GCC is utilized as support to pigmentation, as well as support to control the finish (matt or gloss). GCC is extensively utilized as a filler in plastic products, including up to 25% of the volume, enhancing density, reducing cost, and improving rheology. It is normally blended or coated with additives including stearates to support bonding within the plastic.
Global Calcium Carbonate Market Share by Type, 2019 (%)
Regional Outlook
Geographically, in 2019, Asia-Pacific held the largest share in the market owing to the rising plastics and pulp and paper industry in the region. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the plastics industry hosts over 2,000 exporters and employs nearly 4 million people. The industry involves over 30,000 processing units, 85–90% of which are SMEs. In FY 2020, the export of plastic and linoleum from India stood at $7.5 billion. During April 2019–January 2020, plastic export valued at nearly $7 billion with the largest contribution from plastic raw material at $2.9 billion, films and plates, and plastic sheets, at $ 1.2 billion, and packaging materials at $722.5 million. Calcium carbonate is one of the most renowned mineral fillers that are utilized in the plastics industry. It is used as an additive in plastic compounds to reduce the surface energy and offers surface gloss and opacity, which improves surface finish.
