Market Dynamic

THE GROWTH IN THE VARIOUS END-USE INDUSTRY HELPS THE MARKET GROW

The global Calcium Sulphate market exhibits high growth prospects. The market is driven by growing demand from end-users in food & beverages, paper and pulp, paints & coatings, leather tanning, and leather treating industries. In the paints & coatings industry, Calcium Sulphate is used as a surface sizing agent for primers in the case of coatings and mural painting. Further, it acts as a pigment for pigments for textile coating applications. The market is also acknowledged for its use in calcium cyanurate formulation in the case of chemical application and calcium carbonate formulation for detergents.

EFFECT OF CALCIUM SULFATE ON HEALTH HAMPERS THE MARKET

Acute exposure to calcium sulfate can create redness and itching of the eyes, sore throat, runny nose, and irritation of the skin and respiratory tract. Calcium sulfate causes irritation to the mucous membrane and can impair the sense of smell and taste, and even cause nose bleeding. It can also create pulmonary nodular fibrosis. Its high intake can cause constipation and hinder the absorption of iron and zinc in the body. Moreover, in the supplements form, calcium sulfate can create a risk of kidney stones, cardiovascular diseases, and prostate cancer on high intake. Thus, the health effects associated with calcium sulfate will create hurdles to the growth of the calcium sulfate market.

INCREASING HEALTHCARE SECTOR CREATES AMPLE OPPURTUNITIES

As a calcium supplement, calcium sulfate is an organic binder used in the pharmaceutical & healthcare sector to enhance bone and cell growth. It also provides a natural organic excipient with essential calcium nutrients. Calcium sulfate is also used as a desiccant in the anhydrite form. This product creates an inexpensive binder, filler, and coating for tablets, capsules, and other healthcare products, which helps decrease the need for synthetic polymers and other non-organic agents.
