Calcium Carbide Market By Application (Chemical Acetylene, Reducing & Dehydrating Agents, Steel Making) - Growth, Future Prospects And Competitive Analysis, 2017 – 2025
Calcium carbide, CaC2 when pure, is transparent and colorless, with a specific gravity of 2.22 at 180oC. Commercial calcium carbide is the main source of acetylene, and acetylene is used principally in the synthesis of a series of organic chemicals, resins, and plastics and in oxyacetylene welding and cutting of metals. The main raw materials required for the manufacture of the product are limestone containing at least 98 per cent of calcium carbide, charcoal and petroleum coke. Calcium carbide is being manufactured by mainly three methods: by standard process, by open furnace, and by using water.
China has traditionally been the largest producer and consumer, owing to availability of cheap labor, raw materials and local government support. Although China's economic growth may further moderate, it is expected that demand growth for calcium carbide will continue to sustain healthy rates. China is the world’s largest exporter of calcium carbide. China’s sizable share of the global calcium carbide market is linked to the country’s strong economic growth, large coal reserves, and ever-increasing acetylene demand for chemicals. As a result of continued development in major end-use application such as production of acetylene, steel making, production of PVC and so on, China is projected to experience robust growth in the consumption of calcium carbide till 2025.
Asia-Pacific region dominated the calcium carbide markets by geography in 2016 and the scenario is expected to remain the same in the next decade. This dominance is mainly due to the Chinese market. Chinese calcium carbide industry is highly fragmented with more than 300 producers of calcium carbide. China is the world largest producer and also the consumer of calcium carbide in the world. Asia-Pacific region is being followed by Europe accounts for 2.51% share of global calcium carbide market revenue.

Based on the Application, the calcium carbide market is segmented as follows:
- Chemical Acetylene
- Reducing & Dehydrating Agents
- Steel Making
- Other Applications
Among considered applications, chemical acetylene segment holds the largest market share in 2016, accounted for more than 80% and is expected to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period. Acetylene is used mainly for welding and chemical synthesis, including the production of PVC plastics. Carbides are made for the production of calcium cyan amide by the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen. Steel making is the fastest growing application segment during the forecasted period. Calcium carbide helps in reducing impurities in the steel production process. Other application segment includes furnace injection, slag conditioning, desulfurization, manufacture of graphite, synthetic rubber and plastics, etc. Increasing demand for calcium carbide especially in Asia Pacific due to rapid growth of population and industrialization in emerging economies such as China and India is anticipated to fuel the demand for global calcium carbide market over the forecast period 2017-2025.
For the purpose of this study, the global calcium carbide market is categorized into the following geographies and sub-geographies:
- North America (U.S, and Canada)
- Europe (Germany, U.K., France, and Rest of Europe)
- Asia Pacific (China, India, and Rest of Asia Pacific)
- Latin America (Brazil, Mexico, and Rest of Latin America)
- Middle East and Africa (GCC, and Rest of Middle East and Africa)
In 2016, Asia Pacific was the biggest manufacturing region as well as the largest consumer of calcium carbide and contributed over 90% to the total global demand for the total calcium carbide market. The calcium carbide market in North America is projected to record a sluggish growth rate during the forecast period of 2017 to 2025. The calcium carbide market of Europe is also anticipated to experience slow growth rate owing to stagnated steel and petrochemical industry in the region and on account of strict implementation of the rules concerning ecological issues. The calcium carbide market of Asia Pacific zone is predicted to register the highest rate of growth during the projected period.
