Calcium Carbonate Market size was valued at USD 48.2 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2024-2030. The Calcium Carbonate Market is projected grow at a CAGR of 6.8%. Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is a naturally occurring chemical compound that consists of calcium, carbon, and oxygen. Food additives, dietary supplements, antacids, phosphate binders, tablet excipients, toothpaste, white paint, and cleaning powders are among its numerous applications. Calcium carbonate's market is developing as demand for paper goods rises, particularly in hygiene items such as tissue paper and other packaging applications.

Furthermore, calcium carbonate accounts for over 60% of the filler and reinforcing business, with widespread applications in plasticized and stiff PVC, unsaturated polyesters, polypropylene, and polyethylene. It is also commonly used in rubber, foamed latex carpet backings, sealants, and adhesives. Market expansion is being driven by increased demand from a variety of end-use sectors, including paper, plastics, and paints & coatings. The market is anticipated to grow further as these industries expand. The widespread usage of calcium carbonate as a filler is also contributing to its rise in popularity.

Calcium Carbonate Market Key Developments:  

  • On May 24, 2023, Omya, a global producer of industrial minerals and distributor of specialty chemicals, announced plans to consolidate calcium carbonate production capacity in Europe around strategic assets to meet current and future customer demand for paper and board applications.
  • In April 2023, Omya India, a leading calcium carbonate producer, announced a USD 25 million investment in its modern factory in Gujarat. This considerable investment aims to increase the plant's capacity and overall efficiency, reaffirming Omya India's commitment to producing high-quality products to satisfy rising demand.

Calcium Carbonate Market Dynamics

The paper sector is the world's largest consumer of calcium carbonate. The use of calcium carbonate has increased dramatically since the paper industry transitioned from acid to neutral sizing. Calcium carbonate is currently the most utilized mineral in the production of paper. Ground calcium carbonate and precipitated calcium carbonate are used as fillers and coating pigments, resulting in papers with great whiteness, gloss, and good printing qualities. However, the primary rationale for using calcium carbonate in papermaking is the rising demand for brighter, bulkier papers. The paper industry's rise is mostly due to the growing need for cardboard packaging, which coincides with manufacturing and ballooning e-commerce activity, rising manufacturers' initiatives to develop sustainable packaging solutions, and rising demand for hygiene products. With technological advancements and the advent of high-quality paper with improved physical properties, the need for calcium carbonate is expected to increase soon. Furthermore, calcium carbonate is by far the most significant mineral when combining with polymers. Calcium carbonate is more than just a filler used to cut costs and conserve petroleum-based resources; it can also impact numerous plastic qualities. Imerys, a major calcium carbonate manufacturer, has produced revolutionary goods such as permeable PE films for infant and adult hygiene products. Furthermore, breathable PE films are utilized in the construction industry, which can only be created by inserting a filler like calcium carbonate.

The growing need for calcium carbonate in various plastic goods has prompted market participants to focus on creating plastic additives, which is expected to fuel expansion in the Calcium Carbonate market revenue.
