Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/42vn3n/global_calcium) has announced the addition of the "Global Calcium Carbonate Market 2014-2018" report to their offering.
The Global Calcium Carbonate market to grow at a CAGR of 7.54% over the period 2013-2018
Calcium carbonate is an inorganic mineral, which can be divided into two types: ground calcium carbonate (GCC) and precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC). It is used in applications such as commercial and industrial fillers in the Paper and Plastic industry. Additionally, calcium carbonate has been used extensively used as an additive for thermoplastics and in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) applications. The calcium carbonate fillers make the quality of paper smoother and light, and also provides good printing properties.
The Global Calcium Carbonate market can be segmented into four divisions: Paper, Plastic, Paint, and Adhesives. These are sets of methodologies and technologies that transform unstructured and structured data into meaningful and useful information processes.
One of the major trends in the market is the shift in focus to an alkaline-based production process from an acid-based production process. There is likely to be a gradual change in the paper-making process of paper mills as traditional acid-based process technology is being replaced by alkaline-based process technology.
According to the report, one of the major drivers is the growth in the paper industry. The number of paper mills is expected to increase in the APAC region during the forecast period of 2014-2018. There will also be an increase in the demand for GCC from the Paper industry, where it is used in the application of paper coating and fillers.
Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in the market is the lack of adhesion property in calcium carbonate. Papers coated with calcium carbonate can create problems during the production process as the adhesives do not work on these papers.
