APAC Experienced Highest M&A Activity in 2021

During the projection period, the Asia-Pacific carbonate market is expected to grow at the fastest rate of 8.0 percent, accounting for 42.6 percent of global carbonate market share in 2020. Propylene carbonate is primarily used in the paint industry for the manufacture of paint strippers. The coating business in Asia-Pacific is being driven by rapid technical development and an increase in demand for environmentally friendly coating materials.

Expansion across end-user industries such as construction, automotive, and electronics, likely to maneuver growth in the carbonate market.

From 2021 to 2030, the global carbonate market is expected to rise at a CAGR of 7.2 percent, from $3.5 billion in 2020 to $7.1 billion in 2030.

Carbonate market growth is expected to be fueled by rising demand for the carbonate salt from the paper & pulp sector, automobiles, and adhesives. Diverse needs in the end-user industry landscape is expected to single-handedly lure growth.

Carbonates are carbonic acid salts that contain both carbonate and polyatomic ions. There are two forms of organic carbonates: linear and cyclic. Carbonates such as dimethyl, propylene, ethylene, glycerol, and styrene are utilised in applications such as solvents, catalysts, and cleaners.

Propylene carbonate is used as a raw material in manufacturing organic solvents, medical products, personal care, and cosmetic products. It can also be employed as a fundamental raw material in organic synthesis operations, as well as in organic solvents and medical products. Concerns about glycerol carbonates' sustainability and adaptability have boosted demand for the product, which is used to valorize waste glycerol.

On the other hand, one of the major factors that may limit the market's growth is severe regulatory laws regarding the establishment of limestone quarries. Over the projection period, increased health concerns about various types of chemicals are expected to limit the market growth. Furthermore, because these quarries are located on the outskirts of towns or cities, the cost of the finished product will rise, reducing manufacturers' revenues.

Furthermore, the glass industry's increasing requirement for carbonate salts to make various types of glass is expected to drive up demand for carbonate salts. The carbonate market is fueled by the high demand for carbonate salts. This forms a key ingredient across consumer products such as cleansers, dyes, pigments, and chemicals that are used extensively across industries.

The major market players of Global Carbonate Market are Imerys S.A., Omya Group, Mississippi Lime Company, KG, Excalibar Minerals LLC, and Solvay S.A, Huber Engineering Materials, Franklin Minerals, and Schaefar Kalk among others.

Major Developments in Global Carbonate Market:

• In June 2018, Omya AG introduced Omyaskin, a new generation of recrystallized mineral particles for ornamental cosmetic applications. This chemical is utilised in cosmetic pigments to help improve the end product's effectiveness.
• Imerys purchased three production locations from EDK in November 2019. (a leading Brazilian producer of GCC). The purchase was made to help the former extend its reach in South America and increase its product offering for paints and coatings applications
