Calcium carbonate is an extremely versatile compound with a wide array of applications across sectors. The calcium carbonate global market is expected to be driven by uses of the mineral across sectors, including glass and ceramics, iron and steel, metallurgy, mining, sludge treatment, water treatment, animal feed and nutritional supplementation, and adhesives.
Therapeutic applications of calcium carbonate are contributing to the expansion of the overall calcium carbonate market. Calcium carbonate is used as a phosphate buffer in haemodialysis, an antacid in gastric hyperacidity, and a calcium supplement to prevent and treat osteoporosis. Other applications include food colouring, food firming, and fertiliser. Calcium carbonate is used as a filler as well as a coating pigment, owing to its distinct white colour, in paper, plastics, paints and coatings industries. Its brightness and light scattering properties make it valuable to the paper industry, where it is used as a cost-effective filler to brighten and smoothen opaque paper.
Calcium carbonate acts as an extender in paints and may account for nearly 30% of paint weight. The mineral is also used extensively as filler in adhesives and sealants. Carbon dioxide and lime, formed when calcium carbonate decomposes, is used in the steel, glass and paper industries.
In grocery stores, calcium carbonate is commonly found in several products, such as toothpaste, baking powder, wine, dough and dry-mixes for desserts. It is also used in animal feed and an active ingredient in agricultural lime. The mineral also has applications in water and waste treatment.Being an antacid, calcium carbonate is used in industrial environments to neutralise acidic conditions in soil as well as water. Rising demands for soil and water treatment are expected to increase the demand for the calcium carbonate market.
Calcium carbonate is also an important element in the building and construction industry. By itself, it serves as a building material, for example, in the form of marble, and as a component added to cement. It is used in making mortar which is utilised in bonding bricks, concrete blocks, stones, roofing shingles, rubber compounds, and tiles.
