Hamburg, Germany -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/06/2019 -- Primarily composed of hydroxides and oxides such as calcium hydroxide and calcium oxide, lime is an inorganic mineral that contains calcium. One of the earliest uses of lime is as building mortar. Lime is still used as an engineering and building material today. The burning of minerals and rocks from which lime materials are derived leads to their conversion into highly caustic quicklime. With subsequent addition of water, or the process of slaking of lime, it converts the minerals into less caustic slaked lime. Hydraulic lime can set under water and with exposure to water. Also called water lime, it contains lime with alumina or silica.

The use of quicklime in water softening is expected to set the tone for significant growth of the global quicklime, slaked lime, and hydraulic lime market. According to a press release published in April 2019, the city of Hamilton in Ohio, US is able to save over $300,000 per year and make its utilities more Earth-friendly with the help of a new program that recycles calcium oxide or quicklime used to soften tap water.

Market Dynamics:

The aggressive rate of urbanization in some parts of the world is prognosticated to create opportunities in the global quicklime, slaked lime, and hydraulic lime market. High number of people migrating to cities or urban areas is increasing the need for more housing, educational, and healthcare facilities. Thus, with the increase in construction activities, the demand in the global market is foreseen to grow handsomely in the coming years. The applications of lime products in wastewater treatment and in the conditioning and refining of non-ferrous metals and metal ores are anticipated to fuel the growth of the global market.

However, the problem of air pollution arising from the burning of lime-based products and the threat of substitutes such as magnesium hydroxide and calcined gypsum are expected to hamper the demand for quicklime, slaked lime, and hydraulic lime.

Market Segmentation:

By End User

? Steel

? Civil Construction

? Agriculture

? Paper and Pulp

? Sugarcane
