CaCO3 is the chemical formula for the compound calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate is thought to account for around 4% of the Earth's crust. Calcite, limestone, chalk, marble, and aragonite are only few of the minerals and rocks that contain it naturally. Calcium carbonate can be employed in either its pure or naturally occurring form. Calcium carbonate is mined or quarryed from natural deposits to produce pure calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate is a multipurpose mineral filler, whitener, and alkalizer that sees widespread application today.
White, odourless, and non-toxic, calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is a chemical substance. The crust of the Earth contains it. Chalk, limestone, marble, and the shells of marine organisms all contain it. Calcium carbonate is synthesised by mollusks and corals from dissolved calcium and carbon dioxide in water. The expansion of the paper market and the growing popularity of dietary supplements have both contributed to a greater demand for calcium carbonate. Precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) and ground calcium carbonate (GCC) are the two most common calcium carbonate products on the market. GCC is made by crushing and processing limestone into calcium carbonate powder, while PCC is made by reacting carbon dioxide with a calcium hydroxide solution. The calcium carbonate market is anticipated to grow due to rising demand from various end-use industries.
Calcium carbonate is mostly used in the paper sector, which is the world's largest user. The transition from acid to neutral sizing in the paper industry has been accompanied by a large increase in the use of calcium carbonate as a technology. Calcium carbonate has replaced sand as the primary mineral used in paper production. Both ground and precipitated calcium carbonate are employed as fillers and coating pigments in paper manufacturing, contributing to the whiteness, gloss, and printability of the finished product. However, the increasing need for whiter and thicker paper is the primary motivation for using calcium carbonate in papermaking. In tandem with manufacturing and soaring e-commerce activity, rising manufacturers' initiatives to develop sustainable packaging solutions, and rising demand for hygiene goods have all contributed to the expansion of the paper industry. The future looks bright for calcium carbonate as demand rises in tandem with technological development and the introduction of high-quality paper with improved physical qualities.
Paper and plastic both rely heavily on calcium carbonate as a key basic material. As digital transformation progresses more slowly in APAC, paper consumption rises. In the wake of recent economic expansion, paper packaging has become increasingly popular in the growing economies of Asia and the Pacific. The most paper is used in China, India, and other South Asian countries. Increased demand for corrugated packaging solutions can also be attributed to the development of the e-commerce market in both India and China. Food, healthcare, education, and stationery and personal care are just some of the other businesses that make use of paper packaging. The need for paper in the area is rising as a result of the aforementioned causes. The same may be said for the plastics business in Asia and the Pacific. Plastics are in significant demand across a variety of sectors in the region, including packaging, transportation, building, and electricity and electronics. Calcium carbonate demand in APAC is being driven by the increasing usage of plastics in various industries for a variety of reasons, including cost reduction in packaging and construction, weight reduction in automotive parts, and insulating properties in electronic devices.
Whether or not the necessary quantity of raw material is guaranteed to be available at any given time is a major element affecting the calcium carbonate processor. The size of the production facility must be sufficient to produce the specified quantities, with some extra room for error in case of technical difficulties. A logistics system that allows for quick transfer of supply from one production site to the other must be established to assure supply reliability. Meanwhile, transport costs must be held to a level that is sustainable. Calcium carbonate's logistics expenses are on average 25% of the selling price but can fluctuate widely. Companies have boosted production of calcium carbonate in recent years in response to rising demand; nevertheless, rising transportation costs for the raw materials are a major reason in the higher prices. For instance, PCC transit from the factory to the paper mill adds to the overall transportation cost. Mineral Technologies, one of the market leaders, is responding by locating satellite operations close to paper mills in an effort to keep production costs down. In an effort to save money, several businesses carry calcium carbonate in slurry form, which could potentially lower quality. As a result, the market is being held back by the rising expense of moving calcium carbonate from one location to another.
