全球石灰市場需求預計將從 2023 年的 655.3 億美元達到近 1,102.5 億美元的市場規模,2024-2032 年研究期間複合年成長率為 5.95%。

石灰是氧化鈣的常用名稱,氧化鈣是一種含量豐富的化合物。它是白色的結晶,具有鹼性和腐蝕性。一般來說,「石灰」一詞用於含鈣無機化合物,如碳酸鹽、硫酸鹽、氫氧化物和氧化物。它一般是由貝殼和含有碳酸鈣的石灰石熱分解而成。這個過程稱為煅燒。生石灰用於鹼性氧氣煉鋼 (BOS)、製造加氣混凝土塊和水泥以及水處理。固體石灰筒利用生石灰的放熱特性來破碎礦坑中的岩石。

市場動態

過去十年礦物的生產和開採增加。各行業對鈣的碳酸鹽、硫酸鹽和氧化物的需求不斷增加可能會推動市場成長。石灰在冶金中的廣泛用途是消除雜質,這增加了對石灰的需求。此外,生產油漆、塑膠、紙張、鈣基片劑和補充劑對碳酸鈣的需求也預計將促進市場成長。然而,採石場對野生動物棲息地的負面影響預計將阻礙市場成長。

The global demand for Lime Market is presumed to reach the market size of nearly USD 110.25 Billion by 2032 from USD 65.53 Billion in 2023 with a CAGR of 5.95% under the study period 2024-2032.

Lime is the commonly used name for calcium oxide, a chemical compound found abundantly. It is white in color, crystalline, alkaline, and caustic in nature. Generally, the 'lime' word is used for the calcium-containing inorganic compounds like carbonates, sulfates, hydroxides, and oxides. It is generally made up of the thermal decomposition of seashells and limestones containing calcium carbonate. This process is called calcination. Quicklime is used in Basic Oxygen Steelmaking (BOS), making aerated concrete blocks & cement, and treatment of water. Solid lime cartridges use the exothermic properties of quicklime to break rocks in the mines.

MARKET DYNAMICS

There has been an increase in the production and extraction of minerals in the last decade. The increasing demand for carbonates, sulphates, and oxides of calcium from various industries is likely to boost the market growth. The extensive use of Lime in metallurgy for eliminating the impurities is augmenting the demand for Lime. Additionally, the demand for calcium carbonate for the production of paints, plastic, paper, and calcium-based tablets and supplements is also expected to foster market growth. However, the negative effects on the wildlife habitat due to quarrying are expected to hinder the market growth.
