Market Overview:
The global limestone powder market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for limestone powder from various applications such as building materials, rubber, and wire insulation. Additionally, the growing construction industry in emerging economies is also contributing to the growth of this market. On the basis of type, heavy calcium carbonate powder accounted for a larger share of the global limestone powder market in 2017. This can be attributed to its superior properties such as high compressive strength and low porosity when compared with other types of calcium carbonate powders.
Product Definition:
Limestone Powder is a calcium carbonate powder. It is made by grinding limestone rocks into a fine powder.
Heavy Calcium Carbonate Powder:
Heavy calcium carbonate powder, also known as limestone, is a by-product of the coke and iron manufacturing industries. It is usually formed in an extruded shape and size which can be further processed to make cement or used directly for producing concrete. The product has high content of calcium & magnesium which makes it more effective for making concrete compared to normal Portland cement.
The global heavy calcium carbonate powder market was valued at USD 2,867 million in 2015.
Light Calcium Carbonate Powder:
Light calcium carbonate powder is also known as limestone powder or ground limestone. It is a fine white to off-white solid material, which contains calcium and carbon. The product has wide applications in the food & beverage industry for manufacturing dairy products such as yogurt, cheese, and ice cream among others. It acts as an acidulant and provides tartness/acidic taste to the end products.
Application Insights:
Building materials was the largest application segment in 2017 and is projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. Increasing construction activities across regions coupled with rising population is anticipated to drive demand for building materials, including limestone powder. Furthermore, stringent regulations on green buildings are expected to propel market growth over the coming years.
Wire insulation was another prominent application in 2017 and accounted for a volume share of 15%. Limestone powder is used as an insulating material between wires owing to its high thermal conductivity property. It also helps reduce electricity loss by increasing efficiency of heat transfer from one wire to another thereby reducing power consumption by electrical appliances connected through them.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global limestone powder market in 2016 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region accounts for a major share of global population, which supports rapid urbanization and industrial growth. In addition, rising disposable income levels are anticipated to fuel demand from developing countries such as China and India.
The growing manufacturing sector in Asia Pacific coupled with increasing investments in infrastructure development by governments across various economies including China, India, Indonesia has led to an increased demand for building materials such as cementitious products (limestone powder), steel etc., which will further propel market growth over the forecast period. Increasing construction activities owing to growing population along with rising standards of living have been fueling product demand across this region since past few years; hence it is projected that Asia Pacific will maintain its position as a prominent regional market during the same period.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from construction and manufacturing industries for limestone powder as a raw material.
- Rising awareness about the benefits of using limestone powder in various applications such as concrete, asphalt, and mortar.
- Growing use of limestone powder in agricultural sector for soil amendment and fertilizer production.
- Technological advancements that have led to development of new products containing limestone powder for various applications such as paints, plastics, cosmetics etc.
