Market Dynamics

The Europe zinc chemicals market is projected to register healthy growth during the forecast period. The prominent factors driving the growth of the regional market are the widespread use of zinc chemicals in the rubber manufacturing industry and the growing need for zinc-based micronutrients and fertilizers in the agriculture sector. The expected growth in the manufacturing of tires and rubber products required in the automotive (especially electric and lightweight vehicles) is expected to boost the demand for zinc chemicals during the forecast period. Moreover, the growing importance of zinc micronutrients in the agriculture sector is further driving the demand for zinc chemicals. According to the International Zinc Association, around half of the world’s agricultural soils are deficient in zinc, leading to decreased crop production and nutritional value. The high prevalence of zinc-deficient soils in major agricultural zones across the European countries severely limits agricultural productivity. The demand for zinc fertilizers is, therefore, increasing and is further expected to grow during the forecast period. However, the strict guidelines and regulations in the European Union pertaining to the use of zinc oxide in animal feed is anticipated to hamper the growth of the regional and the global zinc oxide market during the review period.
