As per Future Market Insights, the value of the global calcite market in 2022 was USD 10.76 billion. The increasing demand for plastic and paper packaging is anticipated to be the main factor driving the growth of the calcite industry. This has produced an anticipated amount of USD 20.22 billion by 2033, with a CAGR of 5.9% from 2023 to 2033.
The paper sector has seen a huge increase in demand for calcite. Both precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) as well as ground calcium carbonate (GCC) are gaining popularity for the manufacture of paper. PCC is still the preferred material for making paper due to the operational flexibility it provides. The paper industry has improved printing surface and brighter sheets as a result of the introduction of PCC. The calcite market is anticipated to increase at a faster rate because of the increasing demand for PCC and GCC in the paper sector.
During the projection period of 2023 to 2033, demand for calcite is anticipated to rise due to calcite’s advantageous chemical characteristics, cost-effectiveness, and advancements in the manufacture of polymers and plastics. In more contemporary building, calcite is utilized to create cement and concrete in the forms of marbles as well as limestone.
Marbles are used to display beauty in a variety of patterns and hues. In the future years, the rising demand for marble flooring, bathroom countertops, and kitchen tabletops will generate favorable growth prospects for the calcite industry. Venture finance and private equity firms have made significant investments in India’s building sector. It is projected that throughout the projection time, CAGR would significantly increase.
Key Takeaways from the Market Study
- Sales of calcite increased at a CAGR of 4.8% between 2018 and 2022.
- The market is likely to be dominated by the ground calcium carbonate (GCC) segment, which is projected to have a 65% market share in 2022.
- With a CAGR of 5.5% from 2023 to 2033, the fine size category dominates its market share in the end-use applications.
