The zinc oxide market size was valued at US$ 4,506.51 million in 2021 and is projected to reach US$ 6,338.82 million by 2028; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.0% from 2021 to 2028.
Zinc oxide is an inorganic compound with the formula ZnO. It is a white powder that is insoluble in water, and it is widely used as an additive in numerous materials and products. Further, ZnO is used for the vulcanization of rubber to increase its durability. The tire industry further uses this vulcanized rubber for the manufacturing of tires. The rubber industry consumed more than half of the ZnO produced worldwide due to the growing production of tires. Further, increasing the production of smart devices and the utilization of zinc oxide in cosmetic products and personal care products, including makeup, baby lotions, powders, and bath soaps, are the key drivers of the zinc oxide market. It is also used as a bulking agent, a colorant, and a skin protectant in OTC drug products, such as sunscreen.
Further, zinc oxide is widely used as an additive for lubricating oils of automotive engines to reduce oxidation corrosion and wear. Zinc oxides are used to manufacture various types of lubricants, such as extreme-pressure lubricants, seizure-resistant lubricants, and greases. Thus, the above-mentioned products are high in demand, and respective industries are growing positively. For instance, in 2021, the cosmetic industry garnered around US$ 81 billion in revenue worldwide and registered around 8% growth compared to the previous year, as per the study by Statista. Similarly, in 2021, automotive lubricants have recorded 70.2 billion revenues, an increase of around 5% compared to 2020, as per the Statista report. Thus, the wide array of applications of zinc oxide is increasing its consumption rate and subsequently driving market growth.
