Forecast to 2024"
Major companies
operating in the calcite industry include Imerys S.A. (France), Omya AG
(Switzerland), Minerals Technologies Inc. (US), Huber Engineered Materials
(US), and Gulshan Polyols Ltd. (India). These companies account for a major
share of the market.
Omya AG
(Switzerland) is another major company in the calcite market. It has been
adopting organic and inorganic strategies to sustain its position in the
market. For instance, in November 2018, the company established a research
center for crop cultivation at Oftringen. It undertakes studies through the
systematic analyses of natural calcium carbonate in agriculture. Insights
gained at the center have proven valuable for the development of new products
and innovative technologies for agriculture. In November 2018, Omya AG
introduced a new functionalized calcium carbonate for use in biopolymers under
the brand name, Omya Smartfill 55– OM. The new calcium carbonate is used
particularly as filler material for polylactic acid (PLA) as this does not
demonstrate almost any hydrolysis when processed at filler loads of up to 40%
Paper application is expected to account for the largest
share of the calcite market during the forecast period
The global calcite market is segregated based on
application into paper, paints & coatings, construction, plastics,
adhesives & sealants, and others. Other applications include
pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and glass. In terms of value & volume, the
paper application accounted for the largest share of the market in 2018. The
demand for calcite in the paper application is driven by its ability to enhance
the printability, whiteness, and brightness & opacity of the paper. The
plastics application is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the
forecast period.

Recent Developments
- In November 2019, Imerys S.A. acquired some
assets of the EDK company, a leading producer of ground calcium carbonates
(GCC) in Brazil. These assets include three operating plants and 100
employees, which generated annual revenues of USD 15.5 million in 2018.
- In June 2019, Minerals Technologies Inc.
installed and deployed a new ENVIROFIL PCC technology, a new, innovative
recycling technology that allows papermakers to recover mineral pigments
from the deinking residue by converting these raw materials, at
UPM-Kymmene Corporation’s paper mill in Schongau, Germany. This process
has proven to substantially improve waste paper yield, mitigating solid
waste disposal costs, and reducing the environmental impact of the
deinking process.
- In November 2018, Omya AG introduced a new
functionalized calcium carbonate for use in biopolymers under the brand
name, Omya Smartfill 55– OM. The new calcium carbonate is used
particularly as filler material for polylactic acid (PLA) as this does not
demonstrate almost any hydrolysis when processed at filler loads of up to
40%.
- In November 2018, Nordkalk Corporation
increased its production capacity of limestone in Turkey. The new crushing
plant increases the annual production capacity to 2.5 million tons of
limestone, offered in several fractions. In addition to capacity increase,
the plant enhances the health and safety conditions and impact of
production on the environment.
