Global Calcium Carbonate Market by Type (Ground Calcium Carbonate, Precipitated Calcium Carbonate), Application (Adhesives & Sealants, Paints & Coatings, Paper) - Forecast 2024-2030

The Calcium Carbonate Market size was estimated at USD 26.80 billion in 2023, USD 28.53 billion in 2024, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.73% to reach USD 42.31 billion by 2030.

Calcium carbonate is a naturally occurring, inorganic mineral compound that serves as a widely used raw material in various industries. With its versatile nature, calcium carbonate has applications in diverse sectors, including agriculture, pharmaceuticals, construction materials, food and beverage, paper production, and environmental protection. The global market for calcium carbonate encompasses these various industries and their specific demand for the compound. The rising demand for calcium carbonate from the construction and agriculture sectors due to rapid urbanization and population growth drives the market significantly. Additionally, the growing use of paper products worldwide contributes to the increased need for calcium carbonate as a whitening agent. On the other hand, the availability of alternatives, high cost, and environmental issues due to calcium carbonate mining hinder market growth. However, improvements in production and extraction technologies and potential applications of calcium carbonate in the pharmaceutical industry are expected to increase its production and use in the coming years.
