Market Overview Q3 Ending September 2025
Africa: In Africa, calcium carbonate prices declined as sluggish demand from construction and paper sectors weakened procurement. Lower activity in infrastructure projects reduced bulk consumption, while paper producers faced cost challenges that limited orders. Abundant supply and stable limestone mining operations maintained availability, exerting additional downward pressure. The calcium carbonate price index reflected soft regional momentum, with limited recovery signals across industrial applications. Competitive imports also created margin challenges for local producers, further supporting the bearish trend in this quarter.
Northeast Asia: In Northeast Asia, calcium carbonate prices fell slightly, driven by moderate demand in plastics and coatings applications. Slower manufacturing activity weighed on consumption, while steady raw material availability ensured ample supply. The calcium carbonate price index remained under pressure due to muted demand in construction-linked industries, although steady export flows prevented sharper declines. Local producers faced tighter margins as competition intensified, particularly from low-cost imports. Overall, procurement activity was cautious, with buyers opting for short-term contracts rather than long-term commitments.
Europe: In Europe, calcium carbonate prices edged lower as subdued demand from the paper and packaging industries restrained procurement activity. Weak downstream demand in construction further dampened market fundamentals, with reduced cement and paint consumption. The calcium carbonate price index tracked downward as inventories built up due to slower drawdowns from industrial consumers. Energy cost stabilization helped reduce production expenses, but these savings did not offset the impact of weak demand. Competitive supply from external regions added pressure, limiting opportunities for upward price adjustments during this quarter.
South America: South America recorded a notable increase in calcium carbonate prices, driven by stronger demand from construction and paper manufacturing. The calcium carbonate price index reflected improved buying momentum, with seasonal activity in cement and coatings adding further support. Supply tightness from limited production capacity also contributed to the bullish trend.
Middle East: The Middle East experienced one of the sharpest price increases, supported by robust demand from infrastructure projects and industrial applications. The calcium carbonate price index rose significantly as regional consumption strengthened. Limited availability, coupled with rising feedstock and energy costs, added to upward pressure, creating a firm pricing environment.
Southeast Asia: In Southeast Asia, calcium carbonate prices rose moderately as demand from plastics and paints industries picked up. The calcium carbonate price index showed steady gains, reflecting stronger procurement activity and tightening inventories. Seasonal demand factors also contributed to firm market sentiment in the region.
North America: North America witnessed a decline in calcium carbonate prices as demand from paper, construction, and industrial sectors remained subdued. The calcium carbonate price index weakened under oversupply conditions, with competitive imports further weighing on domestic pricing. Despite stable production, weak end-user demand limited opportunities for price recovery.

Latest developments in the calcium carbonate industry:
- September 2025: Omya unveiled sustainable calcium carbonate solutions at K 2025, launching pre-consumer recycled Omyaloop FC and the engineered Omya Smartfill 55-AV to lower the carbon footprint of polymer and biopolymer applications. The announcement also highlighted Omya’s commercial expansion through the formation of Omya Performance Polymers Distribution (OPPD) earlier in 2025, which combined Omya’s polymer distribution capabilities with Distrupol to strengthen global market reach and product commercialization.
- May 2025: MIDROC Investment Group launched Ethiopia's first coated calcium carbonate production plant in Awash 7 Kilo, Afar Region. The facility, with an annual capacity of 18,000 tons, aims to reduce Ethiopia's import dependency and provide raw materials for industries like pharmaceuticals and plastics.
- April 2025: Researchers from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) developed a bacteria-based method to repair lunar bricks using lunar soil and the bacterium Sporosarcina pasteurii. The bacteria produce calcium carbonate, effectively binding cracks in the bricks, offering a sustainable repair solution for habitats on the moon. This innovation will be tested aboard India's Gaganyaan mission to assess its viability in space.
- March 2025: TotalEnergies ENEOS and Imerys launched their first solar project in Southeast Asia, installing a 1 MWp solar system at Imerys' calcium carbonate plant in Ipoh, Malaysia. This partnership allows Imerys to reduce energy costs without upfront investment, contributing to its sustainability goals.
Product Description
Calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) is a naturally occurring compound found in limestone, marble, chalk, and calcite. It appears as a fine, white, odorless powder and is valued for its chemical stability, high purity, and low solubility in water. Industrially, calcium carbonate is produced through mining and refined via precipitation processes for specialized grades. It is widely used as a filler and extender in plastics, paints, coatings, rubber, and adhesives, improving mechanical properties and cost efficiency. In construction, it serves as a key component in cement, concrete, and lime products. The paper industry relies on it as a coating pigment and filler to enhance brightness and printability. Additionally, calcium carbonate is used in pharmaceuticals as a dietary supplement and antacid, as well as in food processing and environmental applications such as flue gas desulfurization. Its versatile applications across industrial and consumer sectors make it a critical raw material globally.
