Ground Calcium Carbonate Market Outlook Report

Ground Calcium Carbonate Market Overview Ground calcium carbonate commonly referred to as GCC is finely ground limestone or marble, a calcium carbonate material having the chemical formula, CaCO3. GCC accounts for more than 80% of the Calcium carbonate market that is available in Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC) and Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) forms. GCC is produced by mechanical grinding of the raw material, limestone, and then classified to the desired size without involving any chemical change in the process. In a magnified view, the distribution of particle sizes in a GCC is much broader than for a PCC of the same size, implying that there are many more large particles and many more small particles than in a PCC. The size of the largest of the particles (the ""top size"") is much greater for a GCC than for a PCC, thus making GCC a less refined version of Calcium carbonate. GCC is widely used as an industrial mineral is differentiated by three primary attributes - particle size, color and chemical purity. The mineral finds application in various industries based on its quality and suitability of use. Latest Trends in Ground Calcium Carbonate Market Growing Usage of Calcium Carbonate as Industrial Filler: Industrial filler has been the top and continuously growing application for calcium carbonate. Finely ground calcium carbonate is used as a filler in plastics, paints, and paper to improve aesthetics, and functionality and to save on filling costs. Calcium carbonate consumption as the filler has the potential to exceed calcium carbonate used as a dimension stone, in a few key markets. The most abundant sources of carbonate mineral fillers are the reserves of white marble. The most important attributes of carbonate fillers that decide their usefulness in industrial applications are particle size, brightness (whiteness), and chemical purity. Fillers were earlier used to substitute costlier materials in paint or polymers in rubbers or plastics. Currently, they are being used to add stiffness, color, opacity, or other required qualities to a product. Innovative technologies allowing the usage of GCC in new applications without altering the originality and functionality are aiding further penetration of GCC. Driving Factors Increase in Demand from the Construction and Infrastructure Sector: Robust development in construction and infrastructure activities across the world is generating demand for paints, coatings, adhesives, ceramics and various other polymers and concretes. These end-users are further deriving demand for ground calcium carbonate materials. Increasing Population, growing urbanization and fast-developing economies, especially in Asia and the Middle East, have led to growth in the need for infrastructure. Huge developments in infra projects and high-rise apartments necessitate lightweight and cost-effective options. Ground Calcium Carbonate is evolving robustly to match those requirements precisely. Market Challenges Environmental hazards of limestone mining: Limestone mining can disturb groundwater conditions. Limestone deposits frequently arise in association with karst, a landscape where limestone gradually dissolves underground. The deposits result in caves, sinkholes, and areas of rock ruptures that create underground drainage areas. Mining in karst can disturb natural aquifers and alter the flow of the underground water. Excavating operations often remove ground water to expose the mining site; this can decrease the level of the water table and alter water flows through rock formations. Streams and rivers can be changed when mines pump excess water from a limestone quarry into natural downstream channels. This increases the danger of flooding and any pollutants or alterations in water quality disturb the surface water. Companies Mentioned J.M.
