Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) refer to synthetically produced, high-purity form of calcium carbonate (CaCO3), manufactured through a controlled chemical process involving the reaction of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) with carbon dioxide (CO2). This process results in a fine, white powder with uniform particle size and morphology, making it suitable for various industrial applications.
The precipitated calcium carbonate market consists of sales of precipitated calcium carbonate by entities (organizations, sole traders and partnerships) that is primarily utilized as a functional additive and filler in industries such as paper, plastics, paints and coatings, pharmaceuticals, food and cosmetics.
The global precipitated calcium carbonate market was valued at $1,962.37 million in 2019 which grew till 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 3.00%
Growing Personal Care And Cosmetics Industry
The growing personal care and cosmetics industry drove the growth of the precipitated calcium carbonate market during the historic period. Precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) is widely utilized as a functional filler in personal care products such as lotions, creams and powders, enhancing texture, consistency and spread ability. Its fine particle size contributes to a smooth, velvety feel, which is highly valued in cosmetics. Additionally, PCC serves as a whitening agent in formulations, improving the brightness and appearance of products like face powders and foundations. Its non-toxic nature makes it a safe and attractive option for companies aiming to meet industry safety standards while delivering high-quality, visually appealing products. With growing demand for safe, natural ingredients in the personal care sector, PCC is an ideal solution for meeting consumer preferences. For instance, in August 2024, according to BeautyMatter, a US-based media platform providing insights, news and analysis on the beauty and personal care industry, the personal care industry generated a total GDP contribution of £28.1 billion ($36.1 billion), reflecting a 3% year-over-year increase. Additionally, according to the India Brand Equity Foundation, an India-based organization, the global cosmetics industry is expanding at a CAGR of 4.3% and is projected to reach $450 billion by 2025. Therefore, the growing personal care and cosmetics industry supported the growth of the precipitated calcium carbonate market.
Revolutionizing PCC With Waste-Minimizing Production Techniques
Major companies operating in the precipitated calcium carbonate market are focusing on introducing reduce carbon emissions, minimize industrial waste and enhance circular production processes. These efforts aim to align with global environmental regulations and meet the growing demand for eco-friendly materials across various industries. For example, in May 2023, AlSiCal project (European Union-funded research initiative) coordinated by the Institute for Energy Technology (IFE), a Norway-based independent, non-profit research foundation, has successfully validated at TRL4 a revolutionary technology to fully process anorthosite into three valuable, low-carbon products: alumina, silica and precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC). Unlike traditional alumina production, this process does not rely on bauxite and generates minimal waste, drastically reducing environmental impact. It offers a sustainable alternative with lower CO2 emissions, aligning with EU climate and resource efficiency goals. The technology leverages abundant anorthosite deposits, especially in Europe, creating strategic opportunities for green industrial supply chains. This breakthrough supports multiple sectors, including aluminum production, construction and specialty chemicals, through circular and resource-efficient innovation.
The global precipitated calcium carbonate market is fairly fragmented, with large number of small players operating in the market. The top ten competitors in the market made up to 12.43% of the total market in 2023.
