India Calcium Carbonate Market Trends:

Increased Demand in the Paper Industry

Calcium carbonate is a vital component in paper manufacturing, acting as a cost-effective filler and coating agent that enhances brightness, opacity, and smoothness, essential for high-quality printing and writing materials. Despite the global shift toward digital media, India's paper industry remains robust, driven by the rising demand for paper-based packaging solutions, particularly with the expansion of e-commerce. The Indian paper industry accounts for approximately 5% of global production, generating around INR 80,000 crores in revenue. Additionally, India’s per capita paper consumption stands at 15-16 kg, highlighting significant growth potential. The booming e-commerce sector has fueled a surge in demand for corrugated packaging, directly increasing the consumption of calcium carbonate in paper production. As sustainability gains importance, the paper industry’s reliance on calcium carbonate as an eco-friendly alternative to wood-based fillers continues to strengthen. These factors collectively drive the increasing demand for calcium carbonate, solidifying its role in India's evolving paper manufacturing sector.

Expansion in the Plastics and Construction Industries

Calcium carbonate plays an important role in the plastics sector serving as a cost-effective filler that enhances the strength, durability, and thermal properties of plastic products. In addition to this, it is also widely used in the construction industry to improve the workability and longevity of concrete. The widespread usage of calcium carbonate in these sectors is fueled by India's growing infrastructure development and manufacturing investments. In 2023, the Asia-Pacific region, including India, accounted for over 37.34% of global calcium carbonate market revenue, with steady growth anticipated. The Plastic Export Promotion Council (PLEXCONCIL) has set an ambitious target to boost India’s plastic exports to $25 billion by 2027, supported by government-backed plastic park schemes, which provide up to 50% funding or a maximum of ₹40 crore ($5 million) per project. Furthermore, India's Budget 2024-25 allocates ₹10 lakh crore ($120.16 billion) under PM Awas Yojana Urban 2.0 to support housing for 1 crore urban poor and middle-class families, boosting calcium carbonate demand in construction materials. The increasing reliance on plastics across packaging, automotive, and electrical industries further amplifies its demand as a filler, reinforcing its indispensable role in India's industrial growth.
