Global Precipitated Calcium Carbonate Market to Touch USD 3 Billion by 2031
Global Precipitated Calcium Carbonate Market is booming primarily due to an increasing demand from paper, plastics, adhesives, pharmaceuticals, construction, and coatings industries for calcium carbonate.
BlueWeave Consulting, a leading strategic consulting and market research firm, in its recent study, estimated Global Precipitated Calcium Carbonate Market size by value at USD 2.1 billion in 2024. During the forecast period between 2025 and 2031, BlueWeave expects Global Precipitated Calcium Carbonate Market size to boom at a robust CAGR of 4.80% reaching a value of USD 2.9 billion by 2031. The growth of Global Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) Market is driven by a spurring demand for PCC from major industries like paper, plastics, paints, and adhesives, due to PCC’s cost-effectiveness and functional benefits, such as enhanced brightness and opacity. Increasing use of PCC in pharmaceuticals and personal care products as a filler and excipient further boosts demand. Additionally, the growing focus on lightweight materials in the automotive and packaging sectors, coupled with advancements in nanotechnology for PCC production, propels market expansion. Environmental regulations favoring sustainable fillers also contribute.
Opportunity – Expanding Applications of PCC in Food and Pharmaceutical Industries
The growing demand for precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) in the food and pharmaceutical sectors is expected to drive Global PCC Market in the coming years. PCC is used as a food additive, providing a source of calcium and acting as a stabilizer in various products. In pharmaceuticals, it is employed as a filler in tablets and capsules. As consumer interest in fortified food products and efficient drug formulations increases, the market for PCC is expected to expand, catering to these industries' evolving needs.
Paper Segment Holds Largest Share of Global PCC Market by Application
The largest application segment in Global Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) Market is the paper segment. PCC is widely used in the paper industry as a filler and coating pigment due to its ability to improve brightness, opacity, and surface smoothness. The demand for PCC in paper manufacturing is driven by its cost-effectiveness, environmental benefits, and ability to enhance the quality of paper products. It is particularly used in the production of high-quality printing and drafting paper, as well as tissue papers. The paper industry's increasing need for sustainable and high-performance materials has led to the growth of PCC as a key component. This segment holds the dominant share due to the expanding applications of PCC in the global paper manufacturing sector.
