Calcium is one of the most important elements for dental health and optimal bone.
Calcium citrate is mostly used as a food additive in packaged foods. Healthy eating habits have surged the demand for packaged food items. Calcium citrate is used to remove moisture from the packages and helps to boost the shelf life of the food products. The application of calcium citrate in packaged food increases the product's shelf life, prolonging the freshness and appearance of meats, fish, poultry, fruit and vegetables. It is one of the reasons major key players used calcium citrate during packaging.
Market Segmentation Analysis
Powder segment accounted for the highest share in global calcium citrate market
The powder form of segment held the largest market share in the forecast period. The powder form of calcium citrate is beneficial for long-term use, enhances stability, has fast action and is easy to apply. Increase demand for calcium citrate from consumers to treat conditions caused by low calcium levels, such as bone loss, weak bones, decreased parathyroid gland activity, and other muscle-related disorders. The increase in the consumer's disposable income with the rise in healthy eating habits and the rise in healthy eating habits has boosted the demand for extra food supplements where powder forms of supplements are used to reduce calcium deficiency. It is one of the key drivers responsible for the segment's growth in the forecast period. Furthermore, the increased number of patients with calcium deficiency due to insufficient dietary calcium has surged the segment growth.
On the other hand, the market for pharmaceutical application is projected at USD YY million in 2022 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR YY% during the forecast period (2023-2030) to reach USD YY million by 2030. The pharmaceutical application held a major share of the calcium citrate market due to the surge in patients suffering from calcium deficiency. Some of the major key players launched new products in the market. For instance, in April 2022, Bayer launched the nutritional supplement brand, Elevit in China for infant nutrition. The company launched two products under the brand, Vitamin D soft capsule and Calcium zinc Vitamin D soft capsule. Calcium Zinc Vitamin D soft capsule contains 100IU of vitamin D, 100 mg of calcium citrate for bone development and 1 mg of zinc to stimulate the child’s appetite.
Market Geographical Share
Asia-Pacific is the dominating region during the forecast period
In 2022, Asia-Pacific had the highest revenue share of almost YY percent. India and China are major shareholding countries in the region due to the increase in the consumer's disposable income and increasing consumer awareness about health. The increase in the demand for calcium citrate in China is due to the rapidly increasing food packaging sector, which attracts manufacturers to increase their calcium citrate facilities. Furthermore, India's rapidly growing pharmaceutical sector is witnessing significant growth owing to the increasing severity of the disease as calcium citrate is used in various formulations. Increasing demand for supplements and nutrients among the baby population helps to boost the market growth. An increasing number of millennials are opting for calcium-based supplements; women, especially in their mid-30s, have shown greater interest in calcium-based supplements to maintain their bone health, which has further fueled the calcium citrate market in the region.
Market Companies and Competitive Landscape
The global calcium citrate market is competitive in nature, with the leading players capturing a whopping share in revenues. Jungbunzlauer Suisse AG, Gadot Biochemical Industries, Sucroal, Dr. Paul Lohmann GmbH KG, Global Calcium, TIB Chemicals, Jost Chemical, Penglai Marine, Shandong Hengtong Biotechnology and Xinyang Chemical are focused on technology advances for new launches at affordable prices.
