Agricultural Calcium Market

The agricultural calcium market is expected to grow from USD 23.60 billion in 2025 to USD 29.62 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.6%. The demand is rising because farmers, feed makers, and agribusiness companies want products that improve soil health, crop yield, and animal productivity. More people now understand that calcium helps with soil pH correction, nutrient absorption, bone strength in livestock, feed efficiency, and product quality. This is increasing interest in calcium for both animal feed and soil or crop treatment. Many users also prefer mineral-based solutions due to concerns related to chemical inputs and antibiotic-based feed additives. This shift is opening fresh business opportunities in organic farming, precision agriculture, regenerative farming, and species-specific feed formulations.

Major producers are working with research labs, feed companies, fertilizer brands, and soil scientists to create better calcium products. Companies are improving their product lines by offering granules for soil, liquid calcium for fertigation, coated and chelated calcium for fruit and vegetable crops, and bioavailable calcium for poultry, cattle, aquaculture, and swine. They are also using updated processing methods like micronization and mineral coating to improve mixing quality, stability, and bioavailability. As users see more consistent results, calcium is becoming a regular input in modern farming and feed formulation. With a strong interest in scientific crop nutrition and performance-based animal diets, the market is set for steady growth in the coming years.

Market expansion is also supported by issues such as soil degradation, acidity problems, and livestock health challenges. The need for higher output from available farmland is also serving as another reason for market expansion. Additionally, the push for sustainable and residue-free farming is also increasing the use of calcium carbonate, calcium oxide (lime), hydrated lime, calcium chloride, monocalcium phosphate, dicalcium phosphate, tricalcium phosphate, and calcium citrate. The benefits of calcium’s impact on soil structure, nutrient uptake, eggshell strength, milk volume, immunity, and metabolic balance in animals are helping the category's growth.

Some of the major companies in the agricultural calcium market are Yara International (Norway), Omya International AG (Switzerland), Sibelco (US), Carmeuse (Belgium), Coromandel International Ltd. (India), Imerys (France), Saint-Gobain Formula (UK), Minerals Technologies Inc. (US), Graymont (Canada), Kemin Industries, Inc. (US), CALC Group (Poland), EuroChem Group (Switzerland), GLC Minerals, LLC. (US), Huber Engineered Materials (US), Mississippi Lime Company d/b/a MLC (US), AZOMITE Mineral Products, Inc. (US), Jiloca Industrial SA (Spain), Sigma Minerals Ltd. (India), Astrra Chemicals (India), and Lhoist (Belgium).

Companies are using both organic and inorganic strategies to gain their market share. These include partnerships, mergers, capacity expansions, product launches, technology upgrades, and distribution agreements. The goal is to improve their product reach, strengthen supply chains, and meet rising demand for calcium-based feed and soil solutions.

Leading companies are also investing in basic research, product testing, and industrial-scale processing improvements to increase calcium purity, absorption, and compatibility with farming and feed operations. New methods such as micronized grinding, coating for controlled release, and high reactivity lime processing are used to improve consistency and performance. With the growth of modern farming, e-commerce supply models, and contract feed manufacturing, top brands are expanding their calcium portfolios across soil conditioners, fertigation-grade liquids, fortified feed-grade minerals, and pH correction products to secure a stronger position in the global market.
