Zinc Chemicals Market Trends

Global Zinc Chemicals Market Overview

Zinc Chemicals Market is projected to be worth USD 12.5 Billion by 2028, registering a CAGR of 4.29% during the forecast period (2023 - 2028). Zinc chemicals possess a beneficiary feature that is it doesn’t rust easily like iron and other metals, therefore they are intensively utilized in several significant applications across the industries such as automotive, agriculture, construction, petrochemicals, paints, and coatings, and rubber processing industries. Among other end-user industries, the rubber processing industry is consuming Zinc chemicals in large quantities due to the rising demand in the applications such as Galvanization and the manufacturing of tires. Due to the increasing investment in the automotive industry, the demand for the tires, and tubes used during the manufacturing of automobiles are impacting the overall growth of the Zinc chemicals industry. The increasing demand for pharmaceutical applications and zinc sulfate ointments for cuts and bruises are also significantly impacting the overall growth of the Zinc chemicals industry. However, the reduced utilization of zinc chemicals in paints and coatings used across the construction industry has negatively influenced the growth of the Zinc chemicals industry in recent times.

On the other hand, the predominant usage of zinc in the galvanization process as it effectively protects metals against corrosion, while reducing the manufacturing costs and bodyweight of the automobile is expected to bolster the overall growth of the Zinc chemical industry in the future.
