The Europe calcium carbonate market is expected to grow from US$ 10,063.54 million in 2021 to US$ 13,559.61 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.4% from 2021 to 2028.
The UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Russia are major economies in Europe. Growing requirement on the back of thriving paints and coatings industry is expected to fuel the Europe calcium carbonate market growth. Paints and coatings are mainly used in construction projects for protection and decoration. These are also used in interior and exterior house paints, primers, sealers, and varnishes. Construction activities are increasing due to supportive government initiatives. Manufacturers in the paint and coating market are continuously introducing new, high-performance, and environment-friendly products. Calcium carbonate has a special white color that makes it a preferred pigment option in coating applications. It provides improved paint sheen, opacity, and wear resistance, among others. It is appropriate for the uppermost coats due to high gloss retention. Therefore, calcium carbonate is extensively being used in the paint and coating industry. Automotive industry is another segment generating high demand for paint and coating products, thereby fueling the Europe calcium carbonate market growth. Other factor such as growing demand from paper industry is also expected to escalate the Europe calcium carbonate market in coming years.
In case of COVID-19, the UK and Russia are the hardest-hit countries by the pandemic, followed by France, Spain, Italy, and Germany across Europe region. These countries have suffered an economic hit due to the lack of revenue from various industries. Other countries in Europe have implemented drastic measures and travel restrictions, including partial closing of their border. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the production operations of the plastics industry in Europe. This outbreak has also affected the supply chain of raw materials required for the construction industry to a greater extent, eventually disrupting the overall manufacturing processes and research and development activities and further impacting the calcium carbonate market growth. The plastic and construction industries started to recover in Q3 2020 again with the downward trend of COVID-19 cases in a few of the European countries.
With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the Europe calcium carbonate market. The Europe calcium carbonate market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.

Below is the breakup of our primary respondents by company, designation, and region:
Once we receive the confirmation from primary research sources or primary respondents, we finalize the base year market estimation and forecast the data as per the macroeconomic and microeconomic factors assessed during data collection.
- Data Analysis:
Once data is validated through both secondary as well as primary respondents, we finalize the market estimations by hypothesis formulation and factor analysis at regional and country level.
- 3.1 Macro-Economic Factor Analysis:
We analyse macroeconomic indicators such the gross domestic product (GDP), increase in the demand for goods and services across industries, technological advancement, regional economic growth, governmental policies, the influence of COVID-19, PEST analysis, and other aspects. This analysis aids in setting benchmarks for various nations/regions and approximating market splits. Additionally, the general trend of the aforementioned components aid in determining the market's development possibilities.
- 3.2 Country Level Data:
Various factors that are especially aligned to the country are taken into account to determine the market size for a certain area and country, including the presence of vendors, such as headquarters and offices, the country's GDP, demand patterns, and industry growth. To comprehend the market dynamics for the nation, a number of growth variables, inhibitors, application areas, and current market trends are researched. The aforementioned elements aid in determining the country's overall market's growth potential.
- 3.3 Company Profile:
The “Table of Contents” is formulated by listing and analyzing more than 25 - 30 companies operating in the market ecosystem across geographies. However, we profile only 10 companies as a standard practice in our syndicate reports. These 10 companies comprise leading, emerging, and regional players. Nonetheless, our analysis is not restricted to the 10 listed companies, we also analyze other companies present in the market to develop a holistic view and understand the prevailing trends. The “Company Profiles” section in the report covers key facts, business description, products & services, financial information, SWOT analysis, and key developments. The financial information presented is extracted from the annual reports and official documents of the publicly listed companies. Upon collecting the information for the sections of respective companies, we verify them via various primary sources and then compile the data in respective company profiles. The company level information helps us in deriving the base number as well as in forecasting the market size.
- 3.4 Developing Base Number:
Aggregation of sales statistics (2020-2022) and macro-economic factor, and other secondary and primary research insights are utilized to arrive at base number and related market shares for 2022. The data gaps are identified in this step and relevant market data is analyzed, collected from paid primary interviews or databases. On finalizing the base year market size, forecasts are developed on the basis of macro-economic, industry and market growth factors and company level analysis.
- Data Triangulation and Final Review:
The market findings and base year market size calculations are validated from supply as well as demand side. Demand side validations are based on macro-economic factor analysis and benchmarks for respective regions and countries. In case of supply side validations, revenues of major companies are estimated (in case not available) based on industry benchmark, approximate number of employees, product portfolio, and primary interviews revenues are gathered. Further revenue from target product/service segment is assessed to avoid overshooting of market statistics. In case of heavy deviations between supply and demand side values, all thes steps are repeated to achieve synchronization.
We follow an iterative model, wherein we share our research findings with Subject Matter Experts (SME’s) and Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) until consensus view of the market is not formulated – this model negates any drastic deviation in the opinions of experts. Only validated and universally acceptable research findings are quoted in our reports.
We have important check points that we use to validate our research findings – which we call – data triangulation, where we validate the information, we generate from secondary sources with primary interviews and then we re-validate with our internal data bases and Subject matter experts. This comprehensive model enables us to deliver high quality, reliable data in shortest possible time.
