Vaterite is a part of the hexagonal crystal system and is also known as mu-calcium carbonate. It is a polymorph modification of calcium carbonate, least stable in nature, and is produced when the reaction takes place between an aqueous solution of calcium chloride and carbon dioxide in the presence of ammonia.

It is colorless, spherical in shape, and has a small diameter. Vaterite has higher solubility as compared to aragonite or calcite and occurs naturally in mineral springs, organic tissues, gallstones, and urinary calculi. Vaterite can be consumed owing to its antacid properties but over-consumption may be dangerous.

One of the distinctive features of vaterite is that it does not change the chemical or physical properties of the products to which they are added. This feature creates a lucrative market for vaterite. It is also used as a mineral filler to obtain a high level of humidity retention.

Global Vaterite Market: Growth Factors

Vaterite is highly used in the production of drugs, medicines used for regeneration, and a wide range of personal care products. This will generate a huge demand for vaterite in the market. Bioactive fillers are another major promising area for the growth of the vaterite market since vaterite promotes bioactivity through apatite formation in degradable polymers.

Demand for vaterite from the personal care and pharmaceutical industries will be driving the market growth. Vaterite is used as a calcium supplement in the nutraceutical industry and it is also used as a coating pigment for inkjet paper. These applications will further fuel the demand of the vaterite market. However, vaterite is a rare mineral in nature which will cause a hindrance to market growth.
