Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a versatile compound known for its wide-ranging applications. It is a white, powdery substance that is used in various industries, including cosmetics, sunscreens, ceramics, and electronics. In the cosmetics industry, ZnO is prized for its ability to provide sun protection without harmful chemicals. In electronics, it is used as a semiconductor material, and in ceramics, it acts as a flux. Additionally, ZnO has antibacterial properties, making it useful in medical and textile applications. Its versatility and non-toxic nature have made it a crucial component in numerous products across diverse sectors.
Valued at US$ 3.7 billion in 2021, the market reached US$ 3.9 billion in 2022. Historically, the market observed a sluggish CAGR of 3.3% from 2017 to 2021. The global zinc oxide market size is anticipated to reach a valuation of US$ 7.3 billion by 2032, with sales growing at a positive and restored CAGR of 6.4% from 2022 to 2032. Increasing application of rubber across multiple industry verticals and the growing use of zinc oxide in rubber manufacturing and in the production of cosmetics, paints, and ceramics will facilitate the growth of the zinc oxide market.
A primary growth inducer for the zinc oxide market is the use of the product in the manufacturing of rubber. The rising production volume of rubber will boost the consumption of zinc oxide as it is used as an activator for the vulcanization of rubber. This demand is further amplified due to the rising use of rubber in different industries including automotive and transportation. Rubber finds expansive application in the automotive industry for the production of items like tires, hoses, gaskets, roll coverings, crap tubes, and adhesives. Moreover, rubber is in high demand in several other industries like packaging, engineering, manufacturing, and construction, among others. Thus, the high demand for rubber spurs the demand for zinc oxide in the next few years.
