Based on the Application Insights, the market is segmented into Paper, Paints & Coatings, Plastics, Adhesives & Sealants, Others

  • The paints and coatings segment emerged as the second-largest application segment in 2021. The product is used in several applications in the paints and coatings sector. It acts as an agent for reducing or enhancing gloss, as an extender, a rheology modifier, and as an additive for increasing density. Despite many uses, the product demand was impacted in this application segment in 2021 owing to a halt in the manufacturing operations, which disrupted the entire production and supply chain of the paints and coatings industry.
  • The paper segment emerged as the largest application segment in 2021 and accounted for a revenue share of over 40.0%. Calcium carbonate is added as a filler to the paper pulp or is applied as a coating pigment. Its addition enhances the brightness and opacity of the paper. 
  • The current pandemic has compelled manufacturers to ramp up their production to cater to the rising consumer needs. For instance, in August 2020, Celulosa Argentina announced an increase in its production of paper packaging by 30%. The company’s focus was on the food industry as the demand surged in this sector. With the growth of the e-commerce sector and the growing usage of tissue papers, the paper application segment is anticipated to maintain its lead over the forecast period.
