Global Calcium Carbonate Market: Key Highlights
· In termsof value, the global calcium carbonate market is anticipated to expand ata CAGR of ~6% from 2019 to 2027.
· Calciumcarbonate is widely used as a filler or pigment in paper, plastic, and paints& coatings. It is also used as a dietary supplement.
· Thedemand for precipitated as well as ground calcium carbonate in these end-useindustries has been continuously rising. As such, the global calcium carbonatemarket is estimated to expand at a steady pace during the forecast period.
· Calciumcarbonate is used as an inexpensive dietary calcium supplement and antacid.Other applications of calcium carbonate are the polishing and cleaning of rice,and as a cleaning component in shoe polish.
· Accordingto research conducted by the Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri,in 2016, the growth of cancerous tumors can be restricted usingnanoparticles of calcium carbonate. Nanoparticles act on the pH of tumors, andchange the pH from acidic to alkaline.
· Researchersare striving to determine the compatibility of calcium carbonate nanoparticleswith chemotherapy drugs, and the optimal dose of these particles to prevent themetastasis of tumors. The usage of calcium carbonate nanoparticles as a measureagainst cancer is a new development in the medical field. This is expected toboost the demand for calcium carbonate in the healthcare industry.

Regulatory Framework for Mining Calcium Carbonateto Hamper Demand
· Rise inhuman health and environmental concerns due to release of toxins such asdioxins and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls during calcium carbonatemining is restricting the growth of the global calcium carbonate market. Alarge number of regulatory approvals are required to mine calcium carbonatefrom its reserves. This factor may hamper the global calcium carbonate marketduring the forecast period.
· Calciumcarbonate is mined from limestone. Limestone is essential for maintainingunderground water levels, and excess mining of calcium carbonate could lead towater depletion.
· Dustreleased during quarrying limestone affects the health of individuals. Itcauses allergy in the eyes, nose, mucous membrane, and skin of human beings.Exposure to this dust also causes coughing, sneezing, and nasal irritation.Thus, Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA) mandates certain industrialpractices, such as the use of respirators when the concentration of calciumcarbonate exceeds the prescribed limit in the U.S.
· Europehas laid down the CLP Regulation for the usage of calcium carbonate. Theregulation involves the classification, labelling, and packaging of substancesand mixtures. The objective of this regulation is to determine which propertiesof substances and mixtures are classified as hazardous.

High Demand for Calcium Carbonate in Paper End-useIndustry
· Based onend-use industry, the global calcium carbonate market has been segregated intopaper, plastic, paint, rubber, adhesives & sealants, building &construction, and others.
· The paperend-use industry segment accounted for a high share of ~35% of the globalcalcium carbonate market in 2018. Calcium carbonate isprimarily employed as a filler in the manufacturing of paper. It is also usedas a key ingredient in plastic waterproof cement and tape joint cement.
· Groundcalcium carbonate is widely used as an additive in plastic manufacturing ininjection molding, blow molding, and extrusion coating. It allows polymers toheat and cool rapidly, which helps in high productivity, output, and fastconversion for plastic producers. It reduces energy use during the plasticmanufacturing process, and minimizes the carbon footprint and greenhouse gasimpact of finished plastic products.
