Zinc Oxide Market Forecast: Industry Leaders and Emerging Players Propel Growth with Sustainable Solutions

Zinc oxide

The global zinc oxide market size is anticipated to reach a valuation of USD 8,273.5 million by 2034, with sales growing at a positive and restored CAGR of 6.4% from 2024 to 2034. Valued at USD 3.7 billion in 2021, the market reached USD 4,449.6 million in 2024. Historically, the market observed a sluggish CAGR of 2.90% from 2019 to 2023. 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.

Zinc oxide witnesses greater demand as a melting point reducer in the manufacturing of ceramics. Zinc oxide nanoparticles have also emerged as a promising biomedicine candidate, especially for anticancer and antibacterial applications. These aspects have a positive impact on the sales of zinc oxide in the forthcoming years. Again, zinc oxide gains application as a catalyst in various chemical processes such as a sunscreen active ingredient in cosmetics and personal care products, and as an anti-corrosion element in paints and coatings. All of these considerations, along with others, underpin the growth of the zinc oxide market during the projection period.

Key Takeaways in Zinc Oxide Market:

  • An advancing automotive sector along with heightened demand for zinc oxide powder will aid the growth of the market in China.
  • The zinc oxide market in the US projected a CAGR of 3.6% by the end of 2034, fueled by rising ceramic production.
  • By grade, the industrial segment is estimated to account for a share of 74.9% by 2034.
  • Based on process, the indirect or French process segment will develop at a CAGR of 6.6% owing to its increasing commercial use.
