On the other hand, there are also factors that may hamper the growth of the market such as health
hazards associated with calcium carbonate. Calcium Carbonate Market is classified on the basis of
product type asGround Calcium Carbonate (GCC) and Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC).
Ground calcium carbonate (GCC) is a common sedimentary rock composed primarily of the calcium
carbonate mineral, calcite (CaCO₃). It is formed either by direct crystallization from water or by the
accumulation of sea animal shells and shell fragments. Itis used in various end-user industries such as
adhesives and sealants, construction, environment, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, paints, inks and
coatings, paper, plastic and rubber.
Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) is synthetic calcium carbonate. It is white ultra-fine crystalline
powder having consistent particle size distribution. It is produced by precipitating a calcium salt out
of a solution under defined conditions. PCC is used in pharmaceuticals, paper, paints, inks, plastic and
adhesives industry.
Calcium Carbonate Market is classified on the basis of applications as paper, plastic, building &
construction and others (pharmaceutical, agriculture, etc.). Calcium Carbonate Market is classified on
the basis ofgeography as North America, Latin America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Asia Pacific,
Japan and Middle East and Africa.
