Coarse Calcite Market Report 2026

The coarse calcite market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $9.11 billion in 2025 to $9.68 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of construction activities, availability of limestone deposits, expansion of cement production, demand for mineral fillers, low processing costs.

The coarse calcite market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.25 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to infrastructure development projects, growth of agriculture and feed industry, expansion of pharmaceutical excipients use, rising demand for sustainable minerals, innovation in mineral processing. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand from construction industry, growing use in animal feed applications, expansion of industrial mineral consumption, increasing preference for natural mineral fillers, focus on cost effective raw materials.

The increasing demand for construction activities is expected to drive the growth of the coarse calcite market. Construction involves assembling various elements to create structures according to detailed plans and designs. The growing demand for construction is fueled by aging infrastructure and the shift in consumer preferences, leading to more spending on renovations, restorations, and retrofits. Coarse calcite supports the construction industry by providing a high-purity source of calcium carbonate, which improves the strength, workability, and sustainability of materials such as cement, concrete, and asphalt. For example, in June 2024, the US Census Bureau reported that the value of construction activities rose from $1.97 trillion in 2023 to $2.09 trillion in 2024, marking a growth rate of 10 percent. This surge in construction demand is driving growth in the coarse calcite market.

Companies operating in the coarse calcite market are focusing on innovations such as eco-friendly processing techniques to enhance material performance. These methods prioritize reducing environmental impact by minimizing waste, using renewable resources, limiting harmful chemicals, and ensuring that products are recyclable or reusable. For instance, in April 2023, Omya AG, a US-based company in the chemical industry, invested in seven new plants in the Asia Pacific region to produce calcium carbonate, including calcite-based products for long-term partners in the paper and board industry. These plants, located in China and Indonesia, will produce ground calcium carbonate (GCC) and precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC), with a combined capacity of about 1 million dry metric tonnes per year.

In January 2023, Holcim Group, a Switzerland-based company specializing in building materials, acquired Nicem Srl for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows Holcim to strengthen its position in the ground calcium carbonate (GCC) and limestone sectors, expanding its portfolio of sustainable and high-performance building materials. Nicem Srl is an Italian company that manufactures calcium carbonate products, including coarse calcite.
