Calcium Formate Market Opportunities, Challenges, Strategies & Forecasts Report

Posted by Arslan on July 25th, 2019

A recent study published by Fact.MR finds that sales of calcium formate exceeded 1,100 tons in 2018 and are anticipated to register a 3.5% Y-o-Y growthin 2019. A cohort of drivers including favourable government regulations supporting the production process of calcium formate to achieve gas desulphurization and its niche applications in tile adhesives and textiles industry have been determining the growth of the calcium formate market.

The study highlights that the upgraded lifestyle of consumers and the subsequent inclination towards premium products have led to a notable rise in the demand for calcium formate. Achieving tanned leather for its application in enhancement of design pizzazz of automotive interiors, footwear, garments, and furniture, has been among the key boosters to calcium formate demand. A growing interest of governments as well as non-governmental entities in environmental sustainability is collectively contributing towards achieving reduced sulphur dioxide emission from power plants, which is thereby generating demand for calcium formate as an additive to reactors, with an objective to promote dissolution of calcium carbonate and improve efficiency of desulphurization.

Calcium Formate Market in Numbers:

  • Global calcium formate market registered a CAGR of nearly 4.0% between the period 2014 and 2018.
  • Sales of calcium formate closed in on US$ 1,500 Mn in 2018 and are estimated to grow at a Y-o-Y growth at over 4% in 2019.
  • East Asia will continue to be the high growth and high value market for calcium formate, with sales estimated in excess of US$ 530 Mn in 2018. Well-established leather industry, where demand for calcium formate is robust as an additive to promote speedy and efficient penetration of chrome in leather, is a key contributor to East Asia’s lead in the calcium formate market
  • Lucrativeness of the food additive and silage treatment industry for calcium formate manufacturers is here to stay, with sales in 2018 estimated close to US$ 490 Mn.

Opportunities Abound in Animal Feed and Silage Treatment Industry

The study reveals that the demand for calcium formate in animal feed and silage treatment industry is anticipated to witness a remarkable rise, as governments of numerous countries implement regulations on health enhancers used in animal feed. The need for nutrition-rich feed that benefit the digestive health of animals has influenced the adoption of additives and preservatives to achieve healthy growth of livestock. Additionally, growing consumption rate of meat and poultry products, which has proliferated demand for livestock, continues to create lucrative opportunities for the calcium formate manufacturers. According to the study, calcium formate sales in the animal feed and silage treatment industry will register a CAGR of over 4% through 2029.

Key Growth Drivers of Calcium Formate Market

  • Calcium formate has been fast replacing calcium chloride as a setting-accelerator in the construction industry, in light if its key attributes such as preventing corrosion in steel reinforcements, enhancing strength of cement mortar. This, coupled with the notable rise in the construction and infrastructure development activities in developing economies, continues to sustain the demand for calcium formate.
  • Adoption of calcium formate in the manufacturing and processing industries has gained a remarkable uptick in recent years, as an ideal additive to stymie corrosion in wire casting and molding operations.
  • Advancements in the animal nutrition industry has meant that the demand for effective feed additives to achieve superior conversion rate is on the rise, which has reflected on the adoption of calcium formate as an additive in feed pre-mixes, to enhance their metabolism and digestive health.

Calcium Formate Market – Competitive Landscape

The calcium formate market remains highly fragmented in nature, with significant barriers to new entrants. While new product developments and launches remain key strategies of leading players, the focus also remains strong on collaborations with mid-sized industries to materialize their long-term manufacturing and distribution goals.

Leading players have a robust occupancy and distribution in developed as well as developing markets, collectively accounting for approximately 40% calcium formate sales. The strategies employed by leading players continue to contradict the ones put in action by mid-level players.

‘Buy and build’ remains a key strategy for the market leaders, as their efforts are geared towards strengthening their global footprint with the help of sound infrastructures and streamlined distribution. These players cater to niche applications in key industry sectors including electronics, construction, coatings, oil and gas, rubber, and water treatment.
