DUBLIN, October 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Lime Market 2016-2020" report to their offering.
The global lime market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 4.48% by volume during the period 2016-2020.
According to the report, automotive weight reduction strategy will be a key driver for market growth. A steady shift from traditional metal casting to non-ferrous casting favors the growth of the market. Currently, several organizations across the automotive, industrial machinery, and telecommunications industries have started developing lightweight products to improve quality and reduce the overall weight of their products.
Aluminum is considered a choice of material for various manufacturers to reduce the weight of the vehicle. Quicklime is used in the production of various metals including aluminum and copper.
Further, the report states that quicklime is used in the steel industry for applications such as ladle desulfurization of the pig iron, impurity treatment in secondary refining, and as fluxing agents. The global steel demand reduced to 2% in 2015 from 3.3% in 2013. The reason was the weak global economy that resulted in low consumption and business sentiment.
Though developed countries are recovering and experiencing a positive growth, the market in China, the largest steel producer in the world, is experiencing slow growth because the country is moving to a consumption-based economy from an investment-led economy. Moreover, steel demand from other emerging economies is also uncertain because of reasons such as political instability and volatile financial markets. Thus, the sluggish steel demand is a major challenge for the lime industry.
