Global Calcium Hydroxide Market to Grow at a CAGR of 3.3% During the Period 2024-2032, Driven by Uses Across Sectors

Applications across sectors (including construction, water treatment, food processing, and treatment of gases) are expected to drive the market for calcium hydroxide. North America, Europe, and Asia are expected to be key markets.

Calcium hydroxide has several applications in building and paving materials. It is found in mortar, plasters, and cements. Calcium hydroxide, also known as hydrated lime, helps enhance the durability of asphalt structures such as roads, highways, walkways, etc. In mortar, calcium hydroxide is mixed with sand and water to form a paste which is applied between bricks to bind them together. After the water in the paste evaporates, the calcium hydroxide and sand mixture forms a hard adhesive to hold the bricks together.

Calcium hydroxide is widely employed as a neutralizing agent. Being a base, it reacts with acids produced in industrial operations, the environment, and other settings. Very acidic soil can be treated with calcium hydroxide to make the soil more neutral. Similarly, exhaust gases released from factories can be treated with calcium hydroxide. For example, nitrogen and sulfur oxides in the gases are neutralized when passed through scrubbers carrying calcium hydroxide.
