Calcium carbonate is a chemical compound of carbohydrate salt with chemical formula CaCO3. It is easily available in nature. It is used as an antacid or as a calcium supplement medicinally. It is obtained from chalk, rocks, shells, pearls, and egg. It is soluble in lactic acid, acetic acid, citric acid, and phosphoric acid. Its pH is above 6 and it is extensively used in commercial and industrial applications. It is used for producing numerous chemical compounds such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), unsaturated polyester, polypropylene, polyethylene, and rubber.
Increase in construction activities and rise in demand from various industries, such as paper and pulp, plastic, and automotive, are driving the growth of the global calcium carbonate market. Furthermore, rise in the use of pharmaceutical industries for manufacture of medicinal tablets boost the overall market growth. Also, surge in demand in the chemical industry for producing numerous chemical compounds, also contributes toward the growth of the market. However, environmental hazards of mining limestone concerns related to calcium carbonates are expected to hinder the overall market growth. In addition, excess of calcium carbonate is hazardous to health, which can hamper the growth of the market. The development of technology in mining of calcium carbonates is anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities to the market.
