About Calcium Carbonate
Calcium carbonate is a chemical commodity that is usually categorised into two segments: GCC and PCC. It is used majorly in industrial end uses. The mineral is versatile in its usage, and can be used as a filler, pigment, acid regulating agent, food supplement and also as an industrial raw material. Paper, and the plastic industry are the consumers of this mineral. Calcium carbonate is also used extensively as an additive for thermoplastics and in Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) applications. It plays a vital role in determining the environmental sustainability and energy efficiency of various other end user industries.
North America is a key market, both in terms of production and end usage. The region is also a manufacturing hub and exporter of paper products.
Technavio forecasts the calcium carbonate market in North America to grow at a CAGR of 6.87% during 2014-2019.
