Market Overview:
The global light calcium carbonate market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for light calcium carbonate from various applications such as paper, plastics, paints & coatings, adhesives & sealants, and other applications. In terms of type, the uncoated light calcium carbonate segment is projected to lead the global light calcium carbonate market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to its properties such as whiteness and brightness that are used in various end-use industries.
Product Definition:
Light calcium carbonate is a white, powdery substance that is used in a variety of industrial and commercial applications. It can be used as a filler in products like paper and plastics, or it can be used to make things like paint and adhesives more durable. Additionally, light calcium carbonate is often employed as an additive in food products to improve their nutritional value.
Uncoated Light Calcium Carbonate:
Uncoated light calcium carbonate, also known as liquid calcium carbonate or LCC for short, is a type of limestone. It has the ability to neutralize stomach acid and helps in preventing indigestion of food by enhancing the absorption of nutrients from food. The product is available in both natural and synthetic forms.
The synthetic form can be produced through various chemical processes such as hydrolysis reaction, condensation reaction, etc.
Coated Light Calcium Carbonate:
Coated light calcium carbonate is a type of activated charcoal that has had the outer layer or shell removed. The resulting product is purer and more highly absorbent than other forms of activated charcoal, which makes it ideal for use in water treatment applications.
Application Insights:
Paper was the largest application segment and accounted for a revenue share of more than 40.0% in 2017. The product is used as an additive in paper manufacturing to improve brightness, opacity, and strength of paper. It also helps reduce ink spread when printing papers and extends life of pulp fibers by keeping them hydrated. Rising demand for high-quality papers from packaging industry is expected to be a key factor driving the market over the forecast period.
Light calcium carbonate acts as an abrasive in glass manufacturing process.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific was the leading regional market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region accounted for a volume share of more than 60% in 2017 owing to increasing demand from end-use industries, such as paints & coatings, adhesives & sealants, and paper. China is projected to remain a key consumer and producer across this region on account of rapid industrialization coupled with low manufacturing cost compared to other countries.
North America light calcium carbonate market was valued at USD X million in 2017 owing to rising consumption from end-use industries such as construction materials including cement production and lime kiln operations along with growing use as an additive for plastics, polymers, resins & elastomers.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from the construction and automotive industries as a filler material and coating agent.
- Rising demand for lightweight materials in automobiles to improve fuel efficiency.
- Growing use of calcium carbonate in food and beverage products due to its health benefits.
- Increasing application of light calcium carbonate in plastics and rubber products manufacturing industry.
