Calcium carbonate is a white colored, odorless, inorganic compound with chemical formula CaCO3. It is obtained from calcium ores like calcite, aragonite, limestone, and is the main component of pearls and shells of marine animals. It has wide range of applications from medical, biological, chemical to agricultural, industrial, and household. It is used in dietary supplement and as an antacid. It is also used in whitening agent, mineral filler and alkalizing agent as well.
Increasing demand for filler materials from various industries including paper, paints & coatings, plastic, and construction is likely to boost the market growth. Additionally, calcium carbonate is also used for purification of iron, pH correction of pool water, filler material for latex gloves and disinfectant agent. This is expected to raise the demand for calcium carbonate further driving the market growth.
However, the logistics and transportation cost for raw material required for manufacturing calcium carbonate is higher which ultimately add on to the cost of the end-product. this is expected to hinder the market growth.
Key Market Driver -
Increasing demand for filler material from paper, paints and adhesives industry.
Key Market Restraint -
High cost of end-product.
