Industry Insights, Market Size, CAGR, High-Level Analysis: Nano Calcium Carbonate Market


The global nano calcium carbonate market was valued at USD 3,318.9 million in 2018 and is expected to witness a CAGR of 8.9% from 2019 to 2025. Plastics industry is one of the key growth drivers boosting the demand for the product. The steady growth of plastic sector specifically from Asia Pacific region is anticipated to positively influence the demand for the product.
Currently, the global plastics industry is highly dependent on additives, fillers, and reinforcements in order to enhance the properties of the final product. Nano calcium carbonate is used as a filler in polymeric materials in order to improve their impact resistance. Nano calcium carbonate finds wide-scale application in urethanes, plastisols, polysulfides, silicones, polypropylene, and PVC. The emergence of new industrial applications of the product has led to significant growth of the market.
 

The product is widely used as a raw material for the manufacturing of cement, adhesives, and sealants. The growth of construction sector in the U.S. is a key factor contributing to the rising demand for nano calcium carbonate.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the total construction spending (residential and nonresidential) in 2018 accounted for USD 1,293.9 billion, an increase of 3.7% as compared to the previous year. In 2018, residential and non-residential construction spending witnessed a growth of 2.6% and 4.4% respectively as compared to the previous year.
Therefore, steady growth in the construction spending is a key factor driving the demand for construction materials like cement, adhesives and sealants. The increasing consumption of these aforementioned construction materials is likely to positively influence the nano calcium carbonate market in the U.S. over the forecast period.
