Market Overview Q3 Ending September 2025
Africa: Calcium carbonate prices in Africa surged as strong demand from the construction and paper industries drove procurement. Limited supply availability, due to disruptions in quarrying and processing, added upward momentum. The calcium carbonate price index reflected resilient regional consumption, with packaging and plastic applications providing additional support. Export opportunities to neighboring regions also contributed to bullish market sentiment this quarter.
Northeast Asia: In Northeast Asia, calcium carbonate prices fell slightly, pressured by softer demand in plastics and coatings sectors. Stable production levels from regional suppliers ensured adequate availability, leading buyers to exercise cautious procurement strategies. The calcium carbonate price index registered a modest decline, reflecting weaker downstream industrial activity. Export competitiveness remained intact, but lackluster local consumption limited price stability.
Europe: Calcium carbonate prices in Europe held steady as balanced supply-demand dynamics supported market equilibrium. Consistent demand from the paper and construction sectors aligned with sufficient production levels, preventing major fluctuations. The calcium carbonate price index remained unchanged, with steady industrial activity offsetting weaker sentiment in the plastics segment. Buyers adopted a wait-and-see approach, maintaining stable procurement patterns.
India: In India, calcium carbonate prices declined as lower demand from plastics and rubber industries weighed on market fundamentals. Strong production and steady limestone availability ensured ample supply, intensifying bearish sentiment. The calcium carbonate price index dropped as downstream manufacturers slowed orders, while export activity remained subdued. Competitive domestic pricing further pressured procurement trends.
Middle East: Calcium carbonate prices in the Middle East weakened, reflecting reduced activity in the construction and packaging sectors. Abundant limestone supply and robust processing capacity kept the market well-supplied, leading to downward adjustments. The calcium carbonate price index mirrored soft industrial consumption, with exporters also facing subdued orders from key overseas markets.
Southeast Asia: In Southeast Asia, calcium carbonate prices declined due to weaker demand in paper, coatings, and adhesives sectors. Strong quarrying and processing output contributed to high supply levels, compounding bearish trends. The calcium carbonate price index showed a notable decline, as industrial buyers limited spot purchases and prioritized cost efficiency. Regional demand moderation reinforced the downward momentum.
North America: North America recorded the sharpest fall in calcium carbonate prices, with the calcium carbonate price index reflecting contracting demand in plastics and paper industries. High stock availability, driven by steady limestone mining and processing, pushed prices lower. Import competition and reduced end-user consumption further undermined market fundamentals, keeping procurement subdued across the region.

Product Description
Calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) is a naturally occurring inorganic compound composed of calcium, carbon, and oxygen. It appears as a white, odorless powder or crystalline solid and is the principal component of limestone, marble, and chalk. Calcium carbonate possesses high whiteness, low abrasiveness, and excellent chemical stability, making it widely suitable as a filler material. Industrially, it is available in two main forms: ground calcium carbonate (GCC) produced through mechanical grinding, and precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) synthesized via chemical processes. Key applications include use in paper manufacturing for brightness and opacity, plastics and rubber for reinforcement, construction materials, paints, adhesives, and pharmaceuticals as a dietary calcium supplement or antacid. Its versatility and cost-effectiveness ensure its extensive global utilization across diverse industries.
