價格

預計2024年全球石灰市場規模將達507.5億美元,2030年將達699.8億美元,預測期間內複合年成長率為5.5%。

石灰基本上是一種散裝、低成本、多用途礦物,由石灰石製成,主要用作化學添加劑。石灰是一種含鈣無機礦物,由氧化物和氫氧化物組成,主要呈鹼性。

根據世界衛生組織(WHO)預測,到2025年,全球一半人口將居住在缺水地區。據歐洲石灰協會稱,鋼鐵業是氫氧化鈣的最大消費者,目前使用了全球生產的 35% 以上的產品。

最終用途產業的需求增加

最近,世界各地的礦產產量大幅增加。這主要是因為石灰用於去除鐵、鋼、氧化鋁、金、銀、銅、鉛等製造過程中的雜質,因此也用於去除汽車、建築、航運和加工等最終用途行業中的雜質。是由於黑色金屬和非鐵金屬的需求不斷增加。

石灰的高碳足跡

石灰主要由石灰石生產,加熱後將碳酸鈣分解成氧化鈣和二氧化碳。製造過程中產生的二氧化碳是一種溫室氣體,會造成多種災難和全球暖化,導致嚴重的問題。此外,生產是一個高度能源集中的過程,會增加該行業的整體碳排放。

污水回收日益受到關注

人們越來越擔心工業透過有害排放和低效率污水處理造成的污染。美國和西歐等國家正在收緊工業污水處理和回收的法規。印度和中國等新興國家也著重工業水循環利用,以解決水資源短缺和地下水污染問題。

對石灰儲存的擔憂

由於吸濕性和大氣中存在二氧化碳,石灰不能使用。儲存期短也是石灰市場製造商面臨的主要挑戰,因為儲存超過六個月後,石灰的物理和化學性質會改變。

COVID-19 的影響:

COVID-19 大流行對石灰市場產生了重大影響,導致供應鏈各個階段的中斷。停工和限制導致石灰產區勞動力短缺,影響了收穫和加工作業。此外,運輸選擇減少和港口關閉等後勤挑戰也阻礙了石灰的分配。需求也出現波動,最初由於消費者對健康和免疫力的興趣增加而激增,但隨後由於餐飲業停業而下降。

預計生石灰產業在預測期內將是最大的。

由於生石灰在各行業的廣泛使用,石灰市場的生石灰部分正在經歷顯著成長。生石灰,也稱為氧化鈣,廣泛用於鋼鐵製造中作為去除雜質的助焊劑。在建築領域,生石灰作為土壤穩定劑和水泥的主要成分也推動了需求。環境法規強制要求使用生石灰進行水處理和污水處理,進一步推動了生石灰市場的成長。此外,化學工業中鈣化合物的生產及其在農業土壤改良中的作用也促進了需求的增加,使生石灰成為各種工業應用中的重要成分。

化肥和砂糖生產產業預計在預測期內複合年成長率最高

化肥和砂糖生產產業是石灰市場成長的促進因素。在肥料生產中,石灰對於中和土壤酸度、增加養分利用率、改善土壤結構,進而提高作物產量至關重要。由於越來越需要高效的耕作方法來滿足世界糧食需求,該行業對石灰的需求正在成長。全球砂糖業的擴張,特別是在新興國家,也促進了石灰消費量的增加。在農業技術進步和全球砂糖消費量增加的支持下,兩者預計將繼續呈上升趨勢。

比最大的地區

由於多種因素,北美石灰市場正在經歷顯著成長。建築業是石灰的主要消費者,用於土壤穩定和瀝青生產等應用,由於基礎設施計劃的增加,建築業正在擴大。此外,使用石灰淨化鋼鐵的鋼鐵工業正在捲土重來。環境法規促進在排煙脫硫中使用石灰以減少排放,進一步推動了需求。農業部門也利用石灰來改善土壤品質和作物產量,進而促進市場成長。技術進步和石灰產能的增加支持了這一上升趨勢,確保穩定的供應以滿足不斷成長的需求。

複合年成長率最高的地區:

由於中國、印度和東南亞國家等國家的快速工業化和都市化,亞太地區的石灰市場正在經歷顯著成長。建築業的發展,特別是基礎設施的發展,正在推動對石灰作為水泥和混凝土生產主要材料的需求。此外,鋼鐵業是淨化過程中石灰的主要消費者,由於製造活動的增加而蓬勃發展。鼓勵使用石灰進行污水處理和排煙脫硫的環境法規進一步促進了市場的成長。

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Lime Market is accounted for $50.75 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $69.98 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period. Lime is basically a high-volume and low-cost commodity mineral that is prepared from limestone and mainly utilized as a chemical additive. It is a calcium-containing inorganic mineral composed of oxide and hydroxide compounds and is primarily alkaline in nature.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), by 2025, half of the world's population will be living in water-stressed areas. According to the European Lime Association, the steel industry is the largest consumer of calcium hydroxide and currently utilizes more than 35% of the product produced worldwide.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing demand from end use industries

There has been significant growth in the production of minerals across the globe in the recent past. This can be mainly attributed to the increasing demand for ferrous and non-ferrous metals from several end-use industries such as automotive, construction, shipping and fabrication, among others as lime is mainly used to eliminate impurities during the manufacturing process of iron, steel, alumina, gold, silver, copper and lead, among other metals.

Restraint:

High carbon footprint of lime

Lime is primarily manufactured from limestone, wherein it is heated to break from calcium carbonate to calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. The CO2 generated during the production process is one of the greenhouse gases that have led to several calamities and global warming while leading to drastic consequences. Furthermore, production is a highly energy-intensive process and adds to the industry's overall carbon footprint.

Opportunity:

The growing focus on wastewater recycling

There is growing concern about pollution caused by industries by way of harmful emissions and ineffective wastewater treatment. Countries such as the US and those in Western Europe are enforcing regulations on wastewater treatment and recycling among industries. Emerging countries such as India and China are also focusing on industrial water recycling to counter water scarcity and groundwater pollution.

Threat:

Storage concerns of lime

The absorption of moisture and presence of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere makes lime incompatible for use. Along with this, less storage time is a major challenge faced by manufacturers in the lime market as the physical and chemical characteristics of lime change when it is stored for more than six months.

Covid-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the lime market, causing disruptions across various stages of the supply chain. Lockdowns and restrictions led to labor shortages in lime-producing regions, affecting harvesting and processing operations. Additionally, logistical challenges, including reduced transportation options and port closures, hampered the distribution of limes. Demand fluctuations also occurred, with an initial surge due to increased consumer focus on health and immunity, followed by a decline as the foodservice sector suffered from closures.

The quick lime segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The quick lime segment in the lime market is experiencing significant growth due to its widespread application across various industries. Quick lime, also known as calcium oxide, is extensively used in steel manufacturing, where it serves as a flux to remove impurities. The construction sector also drives demand, utilizing quick lime for soil stabilization and as a key ingredient in cement. Environmental regulations mandating the use of quick lime in water and wastewater treatment further bolster its market growth. Additionally, its role in the chemical industry for producing calcium compounds and in agriculture for soil conditioning contributes to the rising demand, making quick lime a critical component in diverse industrial applications.

The fertilizer & sugar production segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The fertilizer and sugar production segments are significant drivers of growth in the lime market. In fertilizer production, lime is essential for neutralizing soil acidity, enhancing nutrient availability, and improving soil structure, thereby boosting crop yields. The demand for lime in this sector is growing due to the rising need for efficient agricultural practices to meet global food demand. The expansion of the global sugar industry, particularly in emerging economies, is contributing to increased lime consumption. Both are expected to continue their upward trajectory, supported by advancements in agricultural technologies and rising sugar consumption worldwide.

Region with largest share:

The lime market in North America is experiencing significant growth, driven by several factors. The construction industry, a major consumer of lime for applications such as soil stabilization and asphalt production, is expanding due to increased infrastructure projects. Additionally, the steel industry, which uses lime for purifying steel, is seeing resurgence. Environmental regulations promoting the use of lime in flue gas desulfurization to reduce emissions further boost demand. The agricultural sector also contributes to market growth, utilizing lime to improve soil quality and crop yields. Technological advancements and increased lime production capacities are supporting this upward trend, ensuring a steady supply to meet the rising demand.

Region with highest CAGR:

The Asia-Pacific region is experiencing significant growth in the lime market, driven by rapid industrialization and urbanization in countries like China, India, and Southeast Asian nations. The construction industry's expansion, particularly in infrastructure development, is boosting the demand for lime as a key material in cement and concrete production. Additionally, the steel industry, a major consumer of lime for purification processes, is flourishing due to increased manufacturing activities. Environmental regulations promoting the use of lime for wastewater treatment and flue gas desulfurization are further contributing to market growth.
