Middle East and Africa Calcium Carbonate Market

Market Introduction

The Middle East region is well known for oil production and export, which has a considerable impact on the entire region in terms of money and labor use. The Middle East's oil and gas industry is one of the world's largest and most valuable (in terms of GDP). Indeed, the Middle East produces a third (27%) of the world's oil, with Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and the United Arab Emirates topping the list of the world's top oil producers. Saudi Arabia alone accounts for approximately 15 percent of global output. The production of oil & gas in Middle East region derive the demand for calcium carbonate. In the oil and gas business, calcium carbonate scale is very frequent. It is frequently induced by a temperature change or a pressure decrease, and it can result in considerable production constraints and formation damage. In the oil and gas industry, calcium carbonate is used as a formation-bridging agent, and it is added to drilling mud to improve the density of the mud in oilfield drilling applications. It increases the mud's density to roughly 1.44 kg per cubic metre, or 12 pounds per gallon. This chemical compound can be used to clean up production zones because it dissolves easily in hydrochloric acid. Calcium carbonate, when combined with polymers, can help to reduce fluid loss in brines. Rising demand for innovative products and burgeoning applications of calcium carbonate are the major factor driving the growth of the MEA calcium carbonate market.

In case of COVID-19, MEA is highly affected especially Saudi Arabia which has reported the highest number of COVID-19 cases in the MEA, followed by Turkey and the UAE. Chemicals & materials is one of the key industries experiencing severe disruptions due to disruptions in supply chain and shutdown of manufacturing and assembly plants in MEA region; this has hampered the global value chain, manufacturing processes, distribution schedules, and product sales. As a result, several firms have already announced possible delays in product delivery and projected a reduction in future product revenues. Lockdowns imposed by governments in the Middle East and African countries have led to the discontinuation of numerous chemicals & materials plants and construction activities in the region. This has further lowered the demand for calcium carbonate. However, construction, paint and coatings and many other industries have started to recover with the start of manufacturing and production activities again. So, the demand for calcium carbonate will increase as the market fundamentals will get return to normalcy.
