Calcite is a versatile mineral known for its widespread presence and multiple applications. Comprising calcium carbonate, it forms in various crystal shapes and colors, often appearing in sedimentary rock formations. Calcite is crucial in industries like construction, where it’s used as a building material, and in agriculture as a soil conditioner. Its optical properties also make it valuable in optical instruments and as a component in paints. In nature, calcite crystals can exhibit remarkable double refraction properties, adding to their scientific significance.
As per Future Market Insights, the value of the global calcite market size in 2022 was US$ 10.76 billion. The increasing demand for plastic and paper packaging is anticipated to be the main factor driving the growth of the calcite industry. This has produced an anticipated amount of US$ 20.22 billion by 2033, with a CAGR of 5.9% from 2023 to 2033.
The paper sector has seen a huge increase in demand for calcite. Both precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC), as well as ground calcium carbonate (GCC), are gaining popularity for the manufacture of paper. PCC is still the preferred material for making paper due to the operational flexibility it provides. The paper industry has improved printing surfaces and brighter sheets as a result of the introduction of PCC. The calcite market is anticipated to increase at a faster rate because of the increasing demand for PCC and GCC in the paper sector.
During the projection period of 2023 to 2033, demand for calcite is anticipated to rise due to calcite’s advantageous chemical characteristics, cost-effectiveness, and advancements in the manufacture of polymers and plastics. In more contemporary buildings, calcite is utilized to create cement and concrete in the forms of marble as well as limestone.
Marbles are used to display beauty in a variety of patterns and hues. In the future years, the rising demand for marble flooring, bathroom countertops, and kitchen tabletops will generate favorable growth prospects for the calcite industry. Venture finance and private equity firms have made significant investments in India’s building sector. It is projected that throughout the projection time, CAGR would significantly increase.
