Global and Chinese Light Calcium Carbonate (Precipitated Calcium Carbonate, PCC) Market Outlook, Growth, Industry Trends 2016-2021
Calcium carbonate is a non-toxic and colorless compound commonly found as a mineral (calcite) which occurs naturally in chalks, limestones and marbles. These rocks are classified as limestones, a general term used for a rock containing varying proportions of calcite and dolomite. The quality of calcium carbonate depends on some factors: purity, whiteness, homogeneity, and thickness.
Calcium carbonate is produced commercially in two different grades. Both grades compete industrially, based primary on particle size and the characteristics imparted to a product:
Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC): produced via extraction and processing of naturally occurring deposits. GCC crystal shape is irregularly rhombohedral and have a broader size distribution.
Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC): produced via chemical precipitation, via a carbonization process or as a by-product of some bulk chemical processes. PCC crystal shape depends on the product, and the particles are more uniform and regular, with a narrow size distribution. PCC has smaller particles, has a higher purity, is less abrasive, and tends to have higher brightness than GCC.
The global light calcium carbonate production, which measures output worldwide, was expected to reach *** thousand tons in 2016 with an increase of ***% from its year-earlier level. The global light calcium carbonate market size is estimated to grow from USD *** million in 2011 to USD *** million by 2016, at an estimated CAGR of ***% between 2011 and 2016. With regards to this, key players of light calcium carbonate industry are expected to find potential opportunities in this market.
