- Calcium formate is an important component in construction industry mainly used as a setting accelerator in cement and concrete formulations. According to a report published by Invest India, the construction industry in India is projected to reach $1.4 trillion by year 2025, with cities expected to drive 70% of country’s GDP by 2030. The construction industry in India spans across 250 subsectors and is set to meet the demand for 25,000,000 additional mid end and affordable housing by 2030. Calcium formate role is vital in construction industry because it reduces the time required for concrete to set and achieve sufficient strength, thus allowing for faster project completion and reducing weather related delays. The ability of calcium formate to accelerate concrete setting not only improves the efficiency, but also enhances the durability and the structural integrity of buildings in diverse climates.
- The stringent environmental safety regulations have significantly influenced the industries to seek safer alternatives like calcium formate. This compound is perceived as an environmentally friendly option because of its low toxicity and biodegradability, which positions it favorably as compared to traditional chemical agents. As industries strive to comply with stringent regulatory frameworks and minimize their ecological footprint, the adoption of calcium formate is anticipated to gain momentum. Its use aligns with global sustainability trends. reflecting organizations’ commitment to reducing harmful emissions and preserving environmental health.
- Calcium formate is a highly sought after product in animal husbandry and agriculture mainly due to its dual function as a preservative and feed additive. The addition of calcium formate into animal feed enhances digestive efficiency, which, in turn, improves overall animal health and promotes faster growth rates. According to the data published by LD4D, between 1961 and 2018, the global poultry population, including chickens, ducks, turkeys, and geese, increased by almost 500%, totaling over 25.6 billion animals in 2018. Notably, chicken population in Southern, South-Eastern, and Western Asia grew by 1500%, with China accounting for 22% of world population with 5.3 billion chickens in 2018. As global consumer preferences shift towards higher quality meat and dairy products, there is a corresponding rise in demand for superior feed additives, which supports these quality improvements. This dynamic underpins the growing market for calcium formate, making it a highly sought after ingredient in the formulation of advanced animal feeds, thereby propelling its market growth.
