According to a new market report published by
Lucintel, the future of ground and precipitated calcium carbonate market looks good
with opportunities
in the packaging, building & construction, transportation, and industrial
end use industries. The global ground
and precipitated calcium carbonate market is expected to reach an estimated
$23.5 billion by 2022 with a CAGR of 4.6% from 2017 to 2022. The
major growth drivers for this market are increasing per capita paper
consumption and growth in plastic demand in the building and construction
industries.
In this market, ground calcium carbonate (GCC)
and precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) are used as filler in paper, plastic,
paint & coating, rubber, and adhesives & sealants. Lucintel forecasts
that GCC will remain the largest segment due to the growth in plastic and
coating applications. On the basis of its comprehensive research, Lucintel
forecasts that PCC will witness the highest growth during the forecast period
and this growth will be supported by increasing penetration in plastic and paint
& coating applications due to its high brightness, opacity, and absorption
level.
Within the GCC and PCC market, the paper
segment is expected to remain the largest application market by value and
volume consumption. Growth of the packaging and
tissue paper market is expected to drive the paper segment over the forecast
period. Lucintel predicts that demand for calcium carbonate in the paint and
coating market is expected
to witness the highest growth in the forecast period due to increasing usage of
calcium carbonate as a substitute of titanium dioxide.
Asia Pacific is expected to remain the largest
market by value and volume and is also expected to witness the highest growth
over the forecast period due to the growth in paper and plastics in the APAC
region particularly in China and India.
Emerging
trends, which have a direct impact on the dynamics of the industry, include
growing consumption of nano-precipitated calcium carbonate and the emergence of
green product for low carbon footprint. Omya, Imerys, Mineral Technologies, and
Nordkalk are among the major suppliers of ground and precipitated calcium carbonate.
