my country’s nano calcium carbonate market size maintains a growth trend, and local companies still have considerable room for development.

Nano calcium carbonate, also known as ultrafine calcium carbonate, is a kind of calcium carbonate produced by using active lime produced in lime kilns and kiln gas as the main raw materials, using a new carbonization synthesis technology, adding an appropriate amount of additives, and reacting under certain process conditions. Ultrafine substances.

The upstream of the nano calcium carbonate industry chain is the supply of raw materials and production equipment such as limestone and carbon dioxide; the midstream is the production of products; the downstream can be used in plastics, rubber, coatings, papermaking, ink and other fields. Among them, the plastics field accounts for about 30% of the nano calcium carbonate market structure, ranking first, the rubber field accounts for more than 15%, ranking second, and the coating and papermaking fields both account for about 10%.

Nano calcium carbonate has superior properties and is widely used. In the field of plastics, nano-calcium carbonate can improve the rheology of plastic masterbatch, and when used as a plastic filler, it can improve the bending strength and dimensional stability of plastics; in the field of rubber, nano-calcium carbonate can improve the elongation and tear strength of rubber products. and other properties; in the field of coatings, nano-calcium carbonate can improve the adhesion, surface finish, and stain resistance of coatings.

According to the “China Nano Calcium Carbonate Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report 2023-2028” released by the Industrial Research Center, With the continuous development of my country’s economy, the scale of industrial production continues to expand, the application fields of nano-calcium carbonate continue to expand, and the market size maintains a growth trend. In 2018, my country’s calcium carbonate market size was approximately 2.5 billion yuan. In 2022, the market size will be close to 4.5 billion yuan, with a compound annual growth rate of nearly 16% from 2018 to 2022.

With the continuous development of the industry, the number of nano-calcium carbonate production enterprises continues to increase, the production scale continues to expand, the output maintains a growth trend, and the market supply and demand maintain a basic balance. In 2022, my country’s nanoscale calcium carbonate production will be approximately 1.48 million tons, and the demand will be approximately 1.4 million tons. Affected by rising labor costs, growing market demand, and updated production processes, the average market price of nano-calcium carbonate has maintained a growth trend in recent years. In 2022, the average market price of calcium carbonate in my country will be approximately 3,250 yuan/ton.

Industry analysts said that the production process of nano-calcium carbonate is complex and has high industry barriers. The nano calcium carbonate industry in the UK, France, Japan and other countries started early and has a long development time. They have strong competitive advantages in R&D capabilities, production technology, brand awareness, etc., and occupy a dominant position in the high-end market. my country’s nano calcium carbonate industry started late, and there is still a certain gap compared with foreign brands in terms of product quality, production equipment, production technology, etc., and local companies still have a lot of room for development. At present, domestic nano calcium carbonate manufacturers include Shanxi Orchid Huaming Nano Materials Co., Ltd., Hubei Kailong Chemical Group Co., Ltd., Jiangxi Ruoshui New Material Technology Co., Ltd., Shandong Shanda Technology (Group) Co., Ltd., etc.
