Report Code: CMR 34465 Report Format: PDF + Excel

Activated Calcium Carbonate Market Overview

The Activated Calcium Carbonate Market size is forecasted to reach US$4.2 billion by 2027 after growing at a CAGR of around 3.2% from 2022 to 2027. The Activated Calcium Carbonate is produced by surface coating of the PCC slurry with stearic acid and titnate coupling agent and filtering and drying and then obtaining the ACC powder. The Activated Calcium Carbonate has rising application in printing ink, rubber, adhesives, plastic such as polyvinyl chloride, paper, and others. The demand of Activated Calcium Carbonate for usage in calcium dietary supplements and other medication is creating a drive in the Activated Calcium Carbonate industry. Furthermore, flourishing application in major end-use industries such as construction, pharmaceutical, paper and pulp, and others will offer major demand and growth opportunities in the market during the forecast period.

Activated Calcium Carbonate Market COVID-19 Impact

The Activated Calcium Carbonate Market was majorly impacted by the slowdown and disruptions during the covid-19 outbreak. The Activated Calcium Carbonate has rising demand in construction, plastic, pharmaceuticals, and other sectors. The building and construction sector saw a major decline in the demand and growth during the pandemic. The building and construction projects were at halt due to lockdown restrictions, labor shortages, production disruptions, and restrictions on logistics. Moreover, the availability of construction raw material saw a major delay and shutdown in construction sites. According to the World Bank, the value added by the construction industry declined from US$ 23.3 trillion in 2019 to US$ 22.04 trillion in 2020. The fall in the building and construction activities in the outbreak led to a decline in the application of Activated Calcium Carbonate, thereby hampering the growth of the market. Thus, owing to production halts and shutdown, the Activated Calcium Carbonate Market was majorly impacted and faced a slowdown.
