Zinc Market Introduction

Zinc is a versatile metal that plays a crucial role in various industries, ranging from construction and infrastructure to automotive and electronics. The global zinc market has witnessed steady growth in recent years, driven by its extensive use in galvanizing, alloy production, and as an essential element in numerous industrial processes. This market report provides a detailed analysis of the zinc market, including market share, key players, and growth trends.

Zinc Market Overview

According to lucintel, the future of the global zinc market looks promising with opportunities in the construction and infrastructure, transportation, consumer goods, and industrial machinery sectors. The global zinc market is expected to reach an estimated $78.2 billion by 2028 with a CAGR of 5.4% from 2023 to 2028. The major drivers for this market are increasing demand for galvanized steel and infrastructure development in emerging markets like India, Brazil, and Indonesia. Furthermore, growing demand from niche applications like smartphones, electric vehicles, mild hybrid engines, and power grid storage will drive the global zinc market.


The zinc market has experienced consistent growth. The robust demand for zinc can be attributed to its exceptional corrosion resistance, excellent formability, and anti-bacterial properties. Zinc is predominantly used in the galvanizing process, where it is applied as a protective coating to steel and iron surfaces to prevent corrosion. Additionally, zinc alloys find applications in die casting, brass production, and as anode materials in batteries.

A total of 134 figures / charts and 113 tables are provided in this 230-page report to help in your business decisions. A sample figure with insights is shown below.
