“The industrial grade segment is the largest grade of calcium formate”
The industrial grade segment is currently the largest grade of Calcium Formate. This is because the primary applications of Calcium Formate are in the construction and feed industries, which require high-purity Calcium Formate. Industrial grade Calcium Formate typically has a purity of around 98%, making it suitable for these applications.
The construction industry uses Calcium Formate as a setting accelerator for cement and concrete. It improves the setting time and strength of the concrete, making it ideal for use in construction projects. The feed industry uses Calcium Formate as a feed additive to improve animal health and growth.
There are other grades of Calcium Formate available as well, such as food grade and pharmaceutical grade. These grades have higher purity levels and are suitable for use in food and pharmaceutical applications. The food industry uses Calcium Formate as a preservative and acidity regulator, while the pharmaceutical industry is exploring potential applications of Calcium Formate in drug delivery.
“The concrete setting application is expected to register the highest CAGR in the global calcium formate market”
The concrete setting application has traditionally been one of the primary drivers of growth in the Calcium Formate market. Calcium Formate is commonly used as a setting accelerator in concrete and cement applications, improving the setting time and strength of the concrete. As the global construction industry continues to grow, the demand for Calcium Formate in the concrete setting application is expected to increase.

The calcium formate market has been segmented based on application into 7 categories namely feed additives, tile & stone additives, leather tanning, concrete setting, textile additives, drilling fluids and flue gas desulfurization. The concrete setting application segment of the calcium formate market is rising rapidly due to the use of calcium formate as concrete accelerator, thus increasing the strength of the cement mortar. Calcium formate is used as a concrete additive to accelerate the solidification of the concrete i.e., it decreases the setting time and increases the rate of early strength growth.
“APAC is expected to hold the largest market share in the global calcium formate market”
The APAC region has been experiencing significant growth in the construction and feed industries, which are major consumers of Calcium Formate. Additionally, the region has a large population and a growing middle class, which has been driving demand for high-quality and nutritious animal feed. This, in turn, has led to an increase in the use of Calcium Formate as a feed additive.
The increasing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly building materials in the construction industry is likely to further drive the growth of the Calcium Formate market in the region. As a result, several Calcium Formate manufacturers have been expanding their production capacities in the APAC region to cater to the growing demand.
