세계의 석회 재료 시장 : 예측(2025-2030년)

The global lime material market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.29%, reaching a market size of US$51.829 billion in 2030 from US$42.015 billion in 2025.

Lime is a calcium-containing inorganic mineral consisting of both hydroxides and oxides. It is sometimes referred to as calcium oxide, and limestone materials are burned extensively to create it. It can be obtained from coal seam fires as well. The mineral is very well-liked in the mining, water treatment, building, and agricultural industries. It has been included in building methods and construction projects for thousands of years.

The material's many qualities, including toughness, durability, and water resistance, make it highly beneficial for a wide range of industrial applications. Cohesion, air content, adhesion, setting time, bond strength, water content, and resistance to sulfates are only a few of the many intricate and varied properties of lime. The degree of quality and characteristics vary depending on the stage of building and manufacturing as well as the source of the lime element. The market is largely fragmented, and regional companies are essential to the entire market's expansion.

Global lime material market drivers

• Construction is contributing significantly to the economy of the United States. According to data, there were 919 thousand construction enterprises in the United States in 2023. Lime material has been used in this sector for centuries in constructing and developing masonry mortars. Buildings demonstrate vast and exponential strength as well as water resistance, particularly when lime mortar is used. The substance is frequently utilized in creating plasters, enhancing their robustness, longevity, and general durability. Hydrated lime is extensively popular in the construction industry as it is utilized in building earthen dams and airfields, stabilizing soil, and other things. The engineering characteristics and attributes of the soil, particularly its workability and threshold, are improved and altered by hydrated lime.

This material also enhances the impermeability of soil. For arid, damp, and wet soil, fast lime has significantly influenced the building industry, aside from hydrated lime. This contributes to the improvement and enlargement of the work surface. The way lime affects the soil has changed significantly over the last several years. Lime enhances clay soil's general stability and modifies its ability to retain moisture. The soil is useful for building and construction operations; however, some actions and processes must be followed to guarantee that its lifespan and shear strength are improved. Moreover, the expansion of the building industry is predicted to result in a large increase in the lime material market worldwide.

Global lime material market geographical outlook

• North America's lime material market is anticipated to grow significantly.

Except for independent commercial hydrators, an estimated 17 million tonnes of quicklime and hydrated lime with a total projected value of $2.3 billion were produced in 2022 in the United States. 28 firms manufactured lime; 18 of them sold it commercially, while the remaining 10 produced it just for their use (such as sugar companies). In 28 States and Puerto Rico, these corporations operated 73 main lime plants or facilities that ran quicklime kilns.

About 79% of the lime produced in the United States in 2022 came from the five largest U.S. firms, which produced hydrated lime or quicklime in 22 states. The main states that produced lime were Texas, Ohio, Missouri, and Kentucky. The production of steel, chemical and industrial uses (such as fertilizer, glass, paper, pulp, and precipitated calcium carbonate, as well as sugar refining), flue gas treatment, construction, water treatment, and nonferrous metal mining were the main markets for lime, in decreasing order of consumption.

The Asia-Pacific region also holds a major market share and is anticipated to register significant growth during the forecast period.

China and India hold a major share of the market. In 2022, China maintained its position as the world's top producer of antimony, accounting for 55% of mine output worldwide. A plethora of companies are operating in China, and the market is expected to grow at a decent rate in the coming years.

Overall, the market growth in the Asia Pacific region is the rising demand for better and finer quality minerals in construction, mining, agriculture, and water treatment. The rise of the middle-class population in the region will also drive the overall market growth during the forecast period.
