The Europe calcium carbonate market size is anticipated to reach USD 14.13 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2025 to 2030. The market is predominantly driven by the increasing product utilization in several applications such as paper, plastics, and concrete manufacturing. Calcium carbonate is widely used in industrial fillers due to superior properties such as special white color, light scattering and high brightness and inexpensiveness as compared to wood flour or sawdust. This, in turn, is expected to fuel market growth over the forecast period.
Growing demand from the rubber industry for nano calcium carbonate as an effective and cheap substitute to carbon black, owing to its superior chemical properties, is expected to propel the demand. Moreover, the rising requirement of upgrading the infrastructure in the region is expected to increase the demand for calcium carbonate in Europe owing to its surged usage in paint, coating, adhesive, and sealant industries. Growing application of ground calcium carbonate in other end-use applications such as rubber and elastomers, animal and pet feeds, plastic and composites, paints and surface coatings, carpet backing, household products, construction, food and pharmaceutical, glass and ceramics, construction (asphalt, plasters, concrete), fertilizers, and agriculture liming is expected to trigger product growth in the near future.
PCC offers improved opacity and gloss compared to GCC. It is also used as an alternative to additives and wood pulp for manufacturing high-quality paperboard and paper as it is a cost-effective mineral. In Europe, the market is characterized by the presence of various domestic and global players, such as Imerys, Omya AG, Carmeuse, Lhoist, CALCIT doo, and Nordkalk Corporation among others. Key manufacturers are engaging in mergers, acquisitions, and collaborations to expand their geographical footprint in the market. Growing competition in terms of product development is likely to pave way for more opportunities in the end-use application industry such as water treatment, plastics, and paper across the region.
