Two of the prominent types of calcium carbonate that have found significant commercial applications are fine-ground calcium carbonate and precipitated calcium carbonate. Derived from calcium carbonate, these compounds find application primarily as mineral fillers for plastics, paints & coatings, rubbers & elastomers among others.

Calcium carbonate is one of the most abundantly occurring minerals on earth and composes nearly four percent of the earth’s crust. It exists naturally in the form of limestone, marbles, and chalk formed by sedimentation over a period of time. It is one of the most versatile compounds and finds a variety of applications across a diverse set of industries including construction, steel, and agrochemicals among others.

Besides, fine ground calcium carbonate and precipitated calcium carbonate are also used as pigments, processing aids, extenders, and impact modifiers across industries. Although the two product types serve a similar range of applications, there do exist several distinctions among the two that drive the preference for one type over the other for certain specific application areas.

Global Ground and Precipitated Calcium Carbonate Market: Regional Outlook

Moreover, on the basis of key geographical regions, the global ground, and precipitated calcium carbonate market has been segmented into North America, Latin America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Middle East & Africa, Japan, and Asia Pacific excluding Japan (APEJ).

Among the aforementioned regional markets, consumption of precipitated and ground calcium carbonate is expected to be dominated by the APEJ region, spearheaded by China. Steady growth is expected to be registered by the ground and precipitated calcium carbonate market in the region during the forecast period
