LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Technavio has announced the top five leading vendors in their recent global lime market report until 2020. This research report also lists four other prominent vendors that are expected to impact the market during the forecast period.
The global lime market accounted for 99.5 million metric tons of the market in 2015 and is expected to reach 123.9 million metric tons by 2020.
The lime market is governed by the sales of two kinds of lime products including hydrated lime and quicklime. The hydrated lime segment of the global lime market will grow at a faster rate than the quicklime segment during the forecast period owing to the rising concerns for environmental safety. The environmental waste (water and gas) treatment industry occupied around 59% of the global hydrated lime market in 2015. Hydrated lime has extensive usage for environment applications such as water desalination, wastewater treatment, incinerators, and FGD.
Competitive vendor landscape
The limestone market is highly fragmented, localized and regionalized, where logistics plays a significant part in manufacturing value-added products to improve the market shares of the vendors. Such developments have propelled the commercial end-use market supply and demand to be concentrated at local and regional levels. The market has a strong foothold of large, established players, who are vertically integrated with their own limestone assets. Several renowned companies in the market are setting up multiple plants through green field investments or joint ventures with local mine owners. They are also extending their operations in the Middle East region, which will be a major growth driver for these players in the coming years.
Chandrakumar BJ, an industry expert at Technavio for research on metals and minerals, says, “Europe is a major region which is likely to witness considerable growth in the lime market, thanks to the undergoing modernization plans for the European lime production plants. Europe aims towards reducing its carbon emissions by 2050 with the lime industry being the key contributor. The European lime industry is carbon- and energy-intensive sector, and propels manufacturers to shift towards more energy efficient kilns.”
