Market Overview:
The global lime stone market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for lime stone in construction materials, cement, and lime industries. Additionally, the growing infrastructure development in emerging economies is also propelling the demand for lime stone globally. However, fluctuations in prices of raw materials may restrain the market growth to some extent during the forecast period. On basis of type, high-calcium limestone dominates the global lime stone market and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% during 2018-2030 due its properties such as high compressive strength and low porosity which make it suitable for various applications such as construction materials and cement production.
Product Definition:
Lime stone is a sedimentary rock composed of calcium carbonate. It is used as a construction material and as an agricultural lime.
High-Calcium Limestone:
High calcium limestone is a sedimentary rock, which consists of calcium carbonate. It is mainly formed by the skeletal remains of marine organisms such as foraminifera and radiolaria. The process takes place in two ways; one is called ooids formation and another via concretion. In ooids formation, the material initially forms a shell around an organic core that eventually dissolves leaving behind a hollow space with round holes known as ooids.
Magnesian Limestone:
Magnesian limestone is a sedimentary rock, which consists of magnesium and calcium. It is mainly found in the central part of the U.S., Mexico, and some parts of Canada. The primary source for production of Magnesian Limestone is from fossil-fuel powered electric arc furnaces along with other sources including ores from lead-acid batteries and scrap metal (aluminum).
Application Insights:
lime stone is used in construction materials as it has high compressive strength. It is also used in the manufacturing of cement, where it acts as a flux agent and helps in refining clinker. The product is also used for various other applications such Lime, calcium hydroxide (limestone), gypsum (calcium sulfate) and others such as firebrick, concrete blocks & pipes etc. In terms of revenue, the application segment comprises of cement which contributed to over 40% share on account of its widespread usage across all industries including residential & commercial buildings and civil works like roads & highways etc.
The Asia Pacific region lime stone market was dominated by China followed by India owing to factors such as rapid industrialization along with increasing disposable income levels among consumers driving demand for superior quality construction materials that are durable.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific lime stone market is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to increasing construction spending and rapid industrialization in emerging economies such as China, India, Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand. In addition, rising population coupled with increased consumer disposable income will drive demand for residential buildings which will further propel industry expansion.
The European market was valued at USD X billion in 2017 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030 due to high consumption of limestone products coupled with stringent environmental regulations by the European Union regarding production processes for limestones & dolomites used in manufacturing cement kiln fuels (Kiln Dried Natural Gas) along with other applications.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from construction and manufacturing industries for lime stone as a raw material.
- Rapid urbanization and industrialization in developing countries is driving the demand for lime stone products.
- Rising awareness about the benefits of using lime stone in various applications is propelling its demand worldwide.
- Growing use of lime stone in environmental protection and restoration projects is providing new growth opportunities for the market players.
