Calcite Makes up for over 40% Share

Calcite accounts for a higher share in market revenues against other minerals such as Dolomite, and Aragonite, and the trend is likely to continue through 2029. Particularly in producing papers, calcite or calcium carbonate is becoming the preferred mineral as it enhances the finishing characteristics of paper including gloss, and whiteness.

Smithsonite is also accounting for a significant market share and its sales are expected to exceed US$ 10 Bn in 2019. While both calcite and smithsonite continue to influence market revenues, the former will grow 2x over the latter in terms of value.

Market in APAC Leading the Way

Asia Pacific (APAC) will maintain its supremacy in the global carbonate minerals market, with the regional market revenues projected to surpass US$ 25 Bn by 2029 end. While upsurge in construction spending is boosting market growth in China, and India, continuous innovations in the mining technology in Japan are also garnering huge stakeholders’ attention. Further, North America represents the fastest-growing carbonate minerals market and is likely to take over Western Europe in terms of revenues in the coming years.

Paints & Coatings Industry - Key Growth Influencer

The painting & coating industry is emerging as one of the key revenue generators for the global carbonate minerals market. Application of carbonate minerals in paints and coatings ensures consistency of the paint as well as promotes reliability of the end product. This, in turn, is leading to rising adoption of carbonate minerals in the paints, which capture nearly 16% of the total revenues.
