APAC:

The fourth quarter of 2023 in the APAC region witnessed various factors impacting the calcium carbonate market and prices.

China saw significant price declines, with calcium carbonate prices falling 1.4% quarter-over-quarter, likely due to moderate supply levels and oil prices declining amid escalating conflicts in West Asia.
