Published: Jul 2022 | Report Code: OMR2023144 | Category : Chemical and Material | Delivery Format: /

European calcium carbonate market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 2.9% during the forecast period. Some pivotal factors encouraging market growth include the rising plastics industry and the pulp and paper industry in the region. As per the PlasticsEurope, the European plastics industry generated a turnover of over $413.3 billion in 2018. The industry had a positive trade balance of over $17.2 billion in 2018. As a mineral filler, calcium carbonate is extensively utilized in the plastics industry. The use of calcium carbonate in rigid packaging has significantly increased over the years. Additionally, calcium carbonate is also integrated as a resin extender in the plastics industry which has been demonstrated to support improved sustainability, improved processing, and increased performance of the finished part. As a plastics additive, calcium carbonate is 100% FDA approved, which supports versatility among applications in critical areas such as medical packaging, food packaging, and foodservice packaging markets.

The market is segmented based on the type and end-user industry. Based on type, the market is segmented into ground calcium carbonate (GCC) and precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC). Based on the end-user industry, the market is segmented into paper, adhesives and sealants, plastics, paints and coatings, construction, and others. Significant adoption of calcium carbonate has been witnessed in the plastics industry. For instance, as per the British Calcium Carbonates Federation (BCCF), plastics account for nearly 10% of European GCC consumption. Additionally, 8% of Europe’s GCC is consumed by the paint market. 

Some prominent players in the market include Imerys S.A., J.M. Huber Corp., Omya International AG, and ACCM. These players have been using some potential strategies to gain a competitive advantage in the market. For instance, in November 2019, Imerys acquired certain assets from EDK, one of Brazil’s manufacturers of GCC. These assets comprise 3 manufacturing facilities with nearly 100 employees. With this acquisition, Imerys is increasing its footprint in South America where the company has a longstanding presence, and also strengthening its product portfolio for paint and coating applications.
