DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Limestone Global Market Report 2022" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global limestone market is expected to grow from $65.08 billion in 2021 to $68.32 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.97%. The limestone market is expected to grow to $86.75 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.15%.

The main types of limestone is magnesian limestone and high-calcium limestone. High-calcium limestone refers to the lime that is primarily calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide and includes not more than 5% magnesium oxide or hydroxide. These types of limestone are categorized based on their size which include crushed limestone, calcined limestone (PCC) and ground limestone (GCC). The various types of limestone are segregated based on application which includes, industry lime, refractory lime, chemical lime and construction-based lime. The major end-user segments for limestone are paper and pulp, water treatment, agriculture, building and construction, plastics, food and beverage and others.

Asia Pacific was the largest region in the limestone market in 2021. The regions covered in the limestone market report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East and Africa.

The increasing demand from the construction industry is driving the growth of the limestone market. The construction industry has surged after the pandemic as many construction projects were stuck due to lockdowns. Cement is manufactured using limestone as a raw material. Cement is an important element in the construction industry because it is used in various construction mixtures, such as manufacture of composite concrete block, to meet specific needs in holding building blocks.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau report on monthly construction spending in 2022, the construction spending was expected to be $1,744.8 billion in April 2022, a 0.8% rise from the revised March 2022 estimate of $1,740.6 billion.
