North American calcium carbonate market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.4% during the forecast period. The growing paper industry is one of the major factors that is accelerating market growth in the region. As per the Government of Canada, in 2017, manufacturing revenues of pulp, paper, and paperboard mills reached $16.7 billion in 2017 increased from $15.8 billion in 2016. As a filler material, calcium carbonate is largely utilized in the alkaline paper production process. The major cause behind the potential use of calcium carbonate is the demand for bulkier and brighter paper. Ground calcium carbonate (GCC) is cost-effective and has high brightness. It develops a porous surface on the paper sheet owing to its rhombohedral particle shape.

Additionally, precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) is a low-cost mineral for the production of high-quality paper and paperboard through the substitution of huge costly additives, wood pulp, or other minerals. Coating PCC has benefits over GCC owing to its superior gloss and opacity. Calcium carbonate is often utilized in papermaking as a pigment or filler as it has high brightness. PCC is utilized as a filler as it holds properties including porosity which supports opacity and whiteness levels highly superior to those found using other non-synthetic fillers.
