Lime Market 2016 Share, Trend, Segmentation and Forecast to 2024

Transparency Market Research (TMR) observes that the competition in the global lime market is quite fragmented due to the strong presence of several manufacturers. Some of the leading players in the global market are Carmeuse, Graymont, Lhoist , and Mississippi Lime. These companies will focus on mergers and acquisitions to expand their businesses in the developing regions as the demand in emerging economies continues to be on the rise. However, players face a major threat of forward integration by raw material suppliers across the value chain.

Increasing Construction Activities Bolster Growth of Global Lime Market

The global consumption of lime has grown over the years and is expected to rise at steady pace due to increasing urbanization in both developed and developing regions. Rapid shift of population from rural areas to city areas has created a massive demand for housing and cleaner water sources. Both of these factors have had a positive influence on the progress of the global lime market. Lime is essentially for construction purposes for the production of non-ferrous metals, iron, and steel as well as for waste water treatments. Analysts state that the consumption of lime for construction uses is slated to account for more than 20% by the end of 2024. The demand for slaked lime, a type of lime, is expected to witness spike in demand in small-scale water treatment plants as it offers artificial alkalinity.

Lime is extensively used as chemical feedstock in engineering and building materials for achieving the right pH levels of soils in addition to other uses. Thus, the increasing production of chemicals such as calcium carbide, sodium alkali, citric acid, cyanimide, petrochemicals, and magnesia is expected to up the consumption of lime in the near future.

Rising Levels of Air Pollution Deter Market Growth

On the flip side, the global lime market is likely to be challenged by the soaring levels of air pollution. Burning of limestone for producing quick lime leads to harmful emissions that contain sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and carbon dioxide. These toxic fumes not only impact human but also have a hazardous effect on plants and animals. The other factor acting as an impediment in the global market is the availability of alternative materials such as magnesium hydroxide, calcined gypsum, and limestone.
