The India calcium carbonate market import shipment experienced a declining trend from 2020 to 2024, indicated by a negative CAGR of -5.6%. The growth rate between 2023 and 2024 further decreased by -7.6%, reflecting a continued slowdown in market expansion with decreasing import volumes annually.
Calcium Carbonate is an inorganic compound with a chemical formula of CaCO3 and available as calcite, marble, limestone, chalk or aragonite. It is one of the most abundant minerals present in nature and used extensively in various industrial applications including paper & pulp industry, plastics industry, paint and coatings industry, construction materials industry etc. India is one of the major producers of Calcium Carbonate with numerous plants across the country manufacturing various grades of calcium carbonate for different industries. The market size was estimated to be around USD 1.3 billion in 2025 which will grow at a CAGR of over 8.1 % during 2025-2031 owing to increasing demand from paints & coatings sector coupled with rising demand for paper & packaging products due to growth in ecommerce activities.
The primary factor driving the demand for Calcium Carbonate is growing consumption from Paints & Coatings sector followed by FMCG companies using it as filler material in their products like toothpaste & shampoo etc., Paper& Pulp Industry also contributing significantly towards overall growth trend backed by government initiatives encouraging use environment friendly papers instead plastic materials especially in packaging sector. Additionally increasing investments and development activities taking place across infrastructure segment both residential as well commercial are expected propel market ahead during forecast period 2025-2031.
Major challenge faced by Indian suppliers/manufacturers while catering overseas markets include lack presence on global platform alongwith issues related to quality control standards being imposed by end customers which could restrict potential sales opportunities outside domestic boundaries thus limiting revenue generation possibilities for local players operating within India mainly at regional level only.. Moreover availability cheaper alternative options such talc powder offered few Chinese manufacturers further add hurdles while competing against bigger rivals globally thereby making difficult penetrate into lucrative export markets abroad such Europe Middle East Africa (EMEA) region where majority import requirements fulfilled directly through China based companies only
In terms meet stringent environmental regulations many leading players focusing shift towards green technologies order reduce pollution levels associated production process resulting better energy efficiency output low cost product offerings even amidst stiff competition prevailing among competitors requiring them adopt innovative strategies maintain their respective share existing target segments without compromising profit margins same time . Additionally increased focus R&D activities order develop new formulations customized customer specific requirements has become norm these days attempt capture maximum portion pie possible despite presence several local unorganized medium scale enterprises trying compete pricing larger counterparts thus emerging more competitive scenario compared previous years .
