Dublin, June 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Agricultural Calcium Market by Type, Application, Form, Function, and Region – Global Forecast to 2030” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The agricultural calcium market is projected to grow from USD 23.60 billion in 2025 to USD 29.62 billion by 2030, marking a CAGR of 4.6%. Market growth is fueled by a shift towards sustainable agriculture, adherence to global sustainability mandates for mineral inputs, and priorities in global soil health management. The focus on animal health and productivity, particularly for egg and milk quality, further boosts the industry.
Extensive agronomic studies showcase calcium’s impact on improving soil pH, nutrient availability, and reducing aluminum toxicity, enhancing both crop performance and field productivity over time. Furthermore, calcium is crucial for soil carbon stabilization, influencing climate-resilient and regenerative farming. However, challenges persist, including competition with nitrogen and complex fertilizers, and environmental issues related to mining and lime processing. Despite these, opportunities exist with the rise in specialty crop production, expansion of high-value crops, and advancements in precision agriculture, which bolster targeted calcium applications.
Market Segmentation and Growth Insight
The calcium carbonate segment is expected to dominate the market as the preferred calcium source due to its abundance, cost-effectiveness, and high efficiency across agricultural and animal feed applications. In the animal feed sector, calcium is indispensable for bone development, eggshell formation, and metabolic functions in poultry, dairy, swine, and aquaculture. The field crops segment, which includes cereals, grains, oilseeds, and pulses, is anticipated to lead the market. Large-scale cultivation demands calcium-based minerals like gypsum and calcium carbonate to maintain soil fertility, driving sustained demand.
Regional Insights: South America
As a major agricultural producer and exporter, South America is projected to maintain a significant market share. The region’s expansion in commercial row crops and export-oriented horticulture underscores the importance of calcium in plant growth, especially in Brazil and Argentina where soil correction is widely adopted.
