Market Dynamics

Introduction

ZnO stands for Zinc oxide. It is an insoluble and inorganic compound used as an additive in various products such as cosmetic creams, rubber, paints, ceramics, foods, lubricants, batteries, plastics, medical, and others. This also plays a pivotal role in obstructing harmful rays.

Market Drivers

There are a number of factors that drive the global zinc oxide market. A few of them are mentioned below

• Wide usage of zinc oxide in various applications: Zinc oxide is an inactive white compound that is used very widely as a bulking agent or filler and as a white pigment. This is used in different industries and in various applications, such as cosmetics, food supplements, ceramics, and more. The growing usage of all these products hence, increases the demand for zinc oxide.
• Usage of Zinc oxide in rubber used for Tires: Zinc oxide (ZnO) possesses excellent properties that act as activators for the vulcanization of rubber. This makes it the best material for manufacturing tires for the automotive industry. Around 75% of the rubber produced across the globe is used in tire production and the automotive industry is expected to grow leaps and bounds in the coming years. This creates a high demand for zinc oxide materials.
• Growing construction industry: The global construction industry is predicted to reach USD 13.3 trillion by 2025, according to Oxford Economics. With the rising construction industry, demand for materials used in the industry also grows. Zinc oxides are used in architectural applications for rainwater systems, cladding, and roofing, and are alloyed with copper and titanium.
• Emerging applications in the electronics industry: Zinc oxide is used in electronic components due to its unique electric and semiconducting properties. The expanding electronics industry and the development of innovative electronic devices create a great opportunity for zinc oxide applications.
