The global calcium carbide market was valued at $11.3 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $18.2 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.0% from 2021 to 2030.
The chemical compound calcium carbide, commonly known as calcium acetylide, has the chemical formula CaC2. White calcium carbide can be made in a laboratory by thermal breakdown of pure calcium cyanimide in the presence of carbon under vacuum. It is primarily used in the manufacturing of acetylene and calcium cyanamide in industry. It is also used for desulfurization, slag conditioning, and furnace injection applications during steel production. It is primarily employed in the manufacturing of acetylene gas, which is then used in the synthesis of polyvinyl chloride in the current scenario (PVC). When compared to petroleum-based PVC, the manufacturing of PVC using CaC2 has been regarded a viable approach because it does not involve the use of petroleum or natural gas and has benefits such as reduced molecular weight and greater plasticizing capabilities. Rising demand for PVC-based plastic products, as well as expanding chemical, steel, and agriculture industries, are the current market trends.
The rising usage of acetylene gas in a variety of applications will drive up demand for calcium carbide. Calcium carbide reacts with water to produce acetylene gas. It's a flammable gas that has a unique odor. When a gas is liquefied, compressed, heated, or mixed with air, it becomes explosive. As a result, more attention is necessary when handling the gas. Calcium carbide consumption is expected to rise during the forecast period due to rising demand for acetylene gas. The rise of oil, gas, and chemical companies, as well as the use of digital technology, has been driven mostly by increasing efficiency and reliability.
The global calcium carbide market is segmented on the basis of application, End-use industry, and region. On the basis of application, the global calcium carbide market is segmented into acetylene gas, calcium cyanamide, reducing and dehydrating agent,
desulfurizing and deoxidizing agent, and others. The End-use industry of calcium carbide includes chemicals, metallurgy, pharmaceutical, food and others. On the basis of region, the global calcium carbide market is studied across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. Presently, Asia-Pacific accounts for the largest share of the market, followed by LAMEA and Europe.
Major players operating in the global calcium carbide market Denka Company Limited, AlzChem, American Elements, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Carbide Industries LLC, KC Group, Merck KGaA, MCB Industries Sdn. Bhd., Mil-Spec Industries Corporation, and Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.
