US: Mineral Technologies has estimated that its total full-year gypsum and lime products sales will rise by 6% year-on-year in 2021 to US$330m from US$310m in 2020. It attributed the anticipated rise to a reordering of its operations away from restrictive Covid-19 containment measures and the return of demand growth to its markets. Business Research Company Reports has reported that the global lime and gypsum products market was worth US$55.2bn in 2020, of which Mineral Technologies held a 0.6% share.
