The Paper Industry Driving Demand
The prosperity of the industries pertaining to paper and building and construction are providing the strongest traction to the global calcium carbonate market. Calcium carbonate is increasing replacing kaolin in the paper industry. In addition to that, growing demand for non-calcium carbonate in the plastic and rubber sectors, strong demand for waterproof and anti-smudge paper products in the building and constructing sector, escalated emphasis on using bioplastics, increasing usage of calcium carbonate as drug templates is expected to reflect positively on the market. Growing focus on increasing mineral loading in paper, consumption of the compound in the paints industry, and government initiatives for the growth of the plastic industry in the Middle East are some of the other drivers promising a healthy future for the global calcium carbonate market. On the other hand, environmental hazards of mining limestone and issues regarding excessive usage of calcium carbonate as dietary supplements are a few restraints obstructing the expansion of the calcium carbonate market.
