The USA ground and precipitated calcium carbonate (GCC and PCC) market is poised for consistent growth through 2035, propelled by infrastructure resurgence, eco-friendly fillers in plastics and paper, and rising demand for high-performance coatings. According to Future Market Insights (FMI), the market is valued at USD 4,805.1 million in 2025 and is projected to hit USD 6,910.1 million by 2035, advancing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.7%.
The FMI report, “USA Ground and Precipitated Calcium Carbonate Market Size, Share, and Forecast 2025–2035,” reveals an incremental USD 2.1 billion in revenues over the decade, driven by GCC’s dominance in cost-effective applications and PCC’s surge in specialty, sustainable formulations.
A Decade of Growth Anchored by Construction Recovery and Green Fillers:
GCC will continue leading volume share at ~63% in 2025, fueled by its affordability in paints, sealants, and wallboards amid a 6.4% rise in U.S. construction spending in 2023. From 2025 to 2030, the market is expected to add USD 1.0 billion, supported by housing and infrastructure projects in the South and West.
Between 2030 and 2035, FMI anticipates another USD 1.1 billion in growth, with PCC accelerating in lightweight paperboard for e-commerce and onsite mill integrations to cut logistics costs.
“GCC remains the workhorse for high-volume fillers, while PCC is the precision player in brightness and recyclability,” said Nikhil Kaitwade, FMI research analyst. “Sustainability mandates and ultra-fine grades are redefining performance across industries.”
