The global calcium hydroxide market size is estimated to grow by 15,650.28 thousand tons at a CAGR of 3.96% between 2022 and 2027. The growth of the market depends on several factors, including the increase in demand for construction and infrastructure development, the increase in the use of calcium hydroxide in niche markets, and the growing importance of wastewater recycling.
The global market is highly competitive. The increasing global focus on construction gives the players in the market sufficient scope to deploy strategies and penetrate untapped regions. The dominant players have a vast geographic presence with large production facilities. Sizeable small regional players that operate in this market also account for notable shares. Due to the low innovations and moderate R&D prospects, the competition in the market is expected to remain moderate during the forecast period.

Our researchers studied the data for years, with 2022 as the base year and 2023 as the estimated year, and presented the key drivers, trends, and challenges for the market.
The increase in construction and infrastructure development activities is the key factor driving the global market. These has various applications in the building and construction sector, such as ready-made mortars, interior and exterior plaster mixes, paving, and coatings. Increased construction and infrastructure development activities are expected to boost the consumption of polymers and concrete, thus, driving the demand for calcium hydroxide. A rise in the population in MEA has led to the need for infrastructure development. The construction market in MEA is anticipated to maintain steady growth during the forecast period.
According to the World Economic Forum, European countries have been maintaining the top rank in the quality of infrastructure, with Switzerland being ranked in the first position since 2010. On the other hand, the construction market in the Middle East is expected to grow rapidly. Thus, an increase in construction and infrastructure development activities will be the major driver for the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The modernization of lime production plants in Europe will fuel the global market. Europe is focusing on moving toward a low-carbon economy by 2050. As the lime sector is a carbon- and energy-intensive sector, it is expected to be a major focus for achieving the EU's 2050 environmental, energy, and climate targets that are aimed at making the EU become climate-neutral by 2050, i.e., an economy with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. This target is in line with the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, which aims to keep the global temperature increase well below 2°Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Thus, the lime industry in Europe is witnessing modernization initiatives in lime manufacturing plants, such as adjusting the fuel mix to lower carbon emissions.
The modernization of plants leads to an increase in the efficiency of engines and other technical progress, thus, reducing carbon emissions. For instance, optimized grinding and cooling lead to an increase in energy efficiency. Thus, lime manufacturing plants are shifting to new, more energy-efficient kilns. Thus, the modernization of lime production plants in Europe is one of the growing trends, which is expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The environmental hazards of limestone mining are a major challenge to the global market's growth. This is found in the form of calcium carbonate, which is composed of limestone. Limestone mining can disturb groundwater reservoirs. Limestone deposits are frequently discovered along karst, a landscape where limestone gradually dissolves away underground. The deposits result in caves, sinkholes, and areas of rock ruptures that create underground drainage areas. Mining occurring in karst can result in disturbances to natural aquifers and the flow of underground water.
Excavating operations often remove groundwater to expose the mining site, which can lower the water table and change the water flow through the rock formations. Limestone mines use two types of blasting; small explosive controls set along drilled lines dislodge blocks of limestone to be removed for construction. On the other hand, large charges reduce entire areas of limestone to debris, which is removed for use as crushed stone. The explosion can result in noise pollution and release clouds of dust. Thus, environmental hazards associated with limestone mining can become a major challenge for the growth of the market during the forecast period.

The environmental water treatment segment showed a gradual increase in market share with 32,697.53 thousand tons in 2017 and will continue to grow by 2021. Globally, 70%-90% of untreated wastewater flows back into the ecosystem, resulting in health-, environment-, and climate-related hazards. Therefore, municipal wastewater treatment facilities are being set up to treat wastewater generated from domestic, industrial, agricultural, and commercial activities. In many developed and developing countries, such as the US, Canada, Australia, Germany, Japan, and China, 60%-70% of domestic wastewater gets collected in sewers, while 5%-10% is collected in on-site facilities. Of this, only 40%-50% is treated safely, while the rest poses a risk to the environment and public health. Therefore, factors such as increasing urbanization and industrialization, rising environmental concerns, and the growing number of government initiatives to improve water quality are expected to propel the growth of the market during the forecast period. Furthermore, our report provides a brief analysis of the historical and forecast market share and their segments along with the reasons for growth from 2017 to 2027.
The growth of this segment is primarily attributed to the increasing adoption by end-users, which is driven by an increase in the global demand.
