Calcite Market

The calcite market is projected to reach USD 13.0 billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 5.2%. Increasing demand for paper and plastics, coupled with easy availability and cost-effectiveness, are expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Calcite Market

Ground calcium carbonate segment is expected to lead the calcite market during the forecast period

The global calcite market is segregated into ground calcium carbonate and precipitated calcium carbonate. In terms of value, ground calcium carbonate accounted for largest share of the market in 2018 and is also expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This growth is attributed to the increasing demand for GCC as a filler material in the paper application, due to cost-effectiveness as compared to PCC.

Paper application is expected to account for the largest share of the calcite market during the forecast period

The global calcite market is segregated based on application into paper, paints & coatings, construction, plastics, adhesives & sealants, and others. Other applications include pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and glass. In terms of value & volume, the paper application accounted for the largest share of the market in 2018. The demand for calcite in the paper application is driven by its ability to enhance the printability, whiteness, and brightness & opacity of the paper. The plastics application is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Calcite Market

Asia Pacific to projected to be the largest calcite market during the forecast period

Asia Pacific is the largest consumer of calcite and is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The large market size is attributed to expansion in calcite manufacturing and high demand from the plastics and paper industries in China, Japan, and India, among others. Moreover, cheap labor, easy availability of raw material and other factors fuel the growth of the market in the region.

Recent Developments in Calcite Market

In November 2019, Imerys S.A. acquired some assets of the EDK company, a leading producer of ground calcium carbonates (GCC) in Brazil. These assets include three operating plants and 100 employees, which generated annual revenues of USD 15.5 million in 2018.
In June 2019, Minerals Technologies Inc. installed and deployed a new ENVIROFIL PCC technology, a new, innovative recycling technology that allows papermakers to recover mineral pigments from the deinking residue by converting these raw materials, at UPM-Kymmene Corporation’s paper mill in Schongau, Germany. This process has proven to substantially improve waste paper yield, mitigating solid waste disposal costs, and reducing the environmental impact of the deinking process.
In November 2018, Omya AG introduced a new functionalized calcium carbonate for use in biopolymers under the brand name, Omya Smartfill 55– OM. The new calcium carbonate is used particularly as filler material for polylactic acid (PLA) as this does not demonstrate almost any hydrolysis when processed at filler loads of up to 40%.
In November 2018, Nordkalk Corporation increased its production capacity of limestone in Turkey. The new crushing plant increases the annual production capacity to 2.5 million tons of limestone, offered in several fractions. In addition to capacity increase, the plant enhances the health and safety conditions and impact of production on the environment.

The study involved four major activities in estimating the current size for the calcite market. Exhaustive secondary research was undertaken to collect information on the market, peer markets, and parent market. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both, the top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. Thereafter, the market breakdown and data triangulation procedures were used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.

Secondary Research

In the secondary research process, various secondary sources, such as D&B Hoovers, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, and Dun & Bradstreet, were referred to identify and collect information for this study. Secondary sources include calcium carbonate manufacturers, calcite manufacturers, annual reports, press releases & investor presentations of companies, whitepapers, certified publications, articles by recognized authors, gold standard & silver standard websites, associations, regulatory bodies, trade directories, and databases.

Primary Research

The calcite market comprises several stakeholders such as raw material suppliers, calcite manufacturers, OEMs in the paper industry, end product users, and regulatory organizations in the supply chain. The demand side of this market is characterized by the developments in the paper, plastics, paints & coatings, construction, adhesives & sealants, and other applications. The supply side is characterized by market consolidation activities undertaken by calcite producers. Several primary sources from both, the supply and demand sides of the market were interviewed to obtain qualitative and quantitative information. Following is the breakdown of primary respondents
