The scale of production and sales of light calcium carbonate continues to expand, and the industry has huge development potential

Light calcium carbonate is an important inorganic salt product with wide uses and large dosage. In recent years, the market size of light calcium carbonate has continued to expand against the background of sufficient domestic supply of raw materials for light calcium carbonate and increasing demand in the application market. my country’s light calcium carbonate market size has grown from 9.15 billion yuan in 2017 to 12.78 billion yuan in 2021, with a compound annual growth rate of 6.91% during the period. At present, light calcium carbonate is the mainstream product in the calcium carbonate market, and its scale will account for 55% of the total domestic calcium carbonate scale in 2021.

The main light calcium carbonate companies in my country include Longsheng Calcium Carbonate, Jinshan New Materials, Warner New Materials, Chenyu Powder, Yunyi Calcium Industry, North China Calcium Carbonate, Sanxing Calcium Industry, Zhongru Chemical, etc. There are many companies, but Most of them are small and medium-sized enterprises, and the industry concentration is low. In the future, with the continuous development of domestic high-tech industries such as automobiles and aerospace, driven by the growth in demand for high-end coatings, new sealing materials, etc., the domestic market demand for high-end lightweight calcium carbonate will continue to increase. Therefore, in the future, local companies need to continue to improve production technology and enhance product diversification, and promote the continuous development of light calcium carbonate products towards ultra-fine and highly purified products. In the future, the concentration of the domestic industry is expected to continue to rise, and the industry has huge development potential.

Industry Analysis personnel said that at the same time, light calcium carbonate is a resource-constrained industry, and currently local companies are mainly located in limestone mineral resource producing areas. , and domestic limestone mineral resources are abundant, and are distributed in all provinces and cities except Shanghai, Macau, and Hong Kong. Therefore, the layout of my country’s light calcium carbonate enterprises is relatively scattered. In recent years, against the background of the continuous strengthening of domestic environmental protection efforts, the focus of domestic light calcium carbonate production has gradually shifted from the eastern region to the central and western regions. The trend of industrial agglomeration has been continuously highlighted, and the industry development prospects are broad.
