Asia Pacific and Middle East Quicklime Market: Introduction
In terms of value, the quicklime market in Asia Pacific and Middle East is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 4.5% from 2024 to 2030. Quicklime, also known as burnt lime, is obtained by the thermal decomposition of limestone. Quicklime is utilized in mortars and cements. It is widely used as a flux agent in the steel industry in order to remove impurities such as silica, alumina, and phosphorus. It is also employed as a reagent in various industries (including chemical and paper).
Increase in Air Pollution to Hamper Asia Pacific and Middle East Quicklime Market
Air pollution is a major factor that is expected to hamper the quicklime market in Asia Pacific and the Middle East during the forecast period. The process of burning limestone for the production of lime, which is used to produce quicklime, leads to emission of sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen oxide.

These cause air pollution, which has a toxic effect not only on plants and animals, but also on humans. Stringent regulations enacted by governments of various countries in Asia Pacific and the Middle East have prompted manufacturers of quicklime to shift toward energy-efficient technologies that lower carbon dioxide emissions. According to the Ministry of Environmental Protection of China, the mining sector has played a vital role in economic expansion over last three decades. However, poor regulation and weak implementation of standards have polluted the country’s soil and left parts of its land and water supplies unfit for use. Therefore, mining companies are facing pressure from government authorities regarding restriction on upstream and downstream mining activities in order to reduce emissions of harmful pollutants.
