Global Calcium Carbonate Market Size AND Share
The global calcium carbonate market is expected to increase at a CAGR of approximately 6.97% during the period from 2025 to 2034, and the value will reach USD 99131.5 Million at the end of 2034, compared to an estimated value of USD 50511.8 Million in 2025.
Throughout the forecast period, the research reviews the drivers and restraints of the market and the impact each would exert on demand. The research also investigates possible markets for calcium carbonates around the world.
Overview of the calcium carbonate market
Calcium carbonate, found in the minerals aragonite and calcite, is a naturally occurring rock component. Calcium carbonate cannot be dissolved by water, which is often an odourless white powder. Some of the major end-use industries are construction, pharmaceuticals, automotive, agricultural, rubber, adhesives and sealants, plastics, paper, paints and coatings, and construction.
Impact Study of the Calcium Carbonate Market in COVID-19
The pandemic of COVID has decreased the demand for houses, cars, paint, and coatings, decelerating trade and disrupting the supply chain of calcium carbonate. The demand for calcium carbonate is indirectly affected by business uncertainty, which impacts certain companies, such as those in construction, paper, plastic, and automotive industries.
Global Calcium Carbonate Market: Growth Indicators
The construction sector is growing on a large scale because of higher public and private sector investment. Calcium carbonate is expected to grow in upcoming years as a result of higher residential and commercial constructions initiated by growing urbanization levels and middle-class disposable income.
Global Calcium Carbonate Market Segmentation Analysis
Type and End-User are the segmentation categories of the global calcium carbonate market.
Construction and building paper, plastics, paints, rubber, adhesives, and sealants are some end-use applications for calcium carbonate and its derivatives, including calcium hydrogen carbonate.
Numerous thermoplastics can be blended with calcium carbonate. Polypropylene compounds often include calcium carbonate to provide stiffness, which is crucial for operations at high temperatures.
Most polyvinyl chloride products employ calcium carbonate, including pipes, wire and cable insulators, rubber gloves, waste bags, rigid extrusion pipes, ducts, and windows. Ground calcium carbonate is commonly employed in a number of paint and coating uses (GCC).
Calcium carbonate is used as a filler in paper and plastic manufacturing. The huge international demand for plastic and paper, particularly in Asia, Latin America, and Africa, fuels demand for calcium carbonate. Paper packaging has gained traction in some places following the decline in the consumption of polythene bags.
Among the end-user markets for calcium carbonate, plastics are forecast to experience the quickest value increase during the forecast. This is because the demand for calcium carbonate-reinforced polypropylene is increasing in the automotive sector and because calcium carbonate can enhance the plastic’s properties and contribute to improved heat dissipation. Plastic applications in different end-use sectors like packaging, building and construction, electrical and electronics have also fueled plastic demand. These applications contribute to market expansion of the plastics industry for calcium carbonate.

New Development
March 2021—Huber Engineered Materials, a Netherlands-based distributor of expert chemicals and additives, bought the production and commercial assets of Nutri Granulation from IMCD NV in March 2021. Nutri Granulation produces food-grade and USP calcium carbonate granules used in the pharmaceutical, food, over-the-counter, and nutritional markets.
APAC is foreseen to drive the calcium carbonate market because of the growing construction activity. Increased economic activity and new investment opportunities within expanding economies such as China, India, Indonesia, and other nations and expansion of the construction industry in the region are likely to drive demand for calcium carbonate.
