What Will Be the India Zinc Carbonate Market Outlook?

Surging Adoption of Zinc Carbonate Powder in India Will Propel Growth

Zinc carbonate is consumed in the production of fertilizers, further, these fertilizers are used to increase crop yields and fulfill the deficiency of zinc in plants & crops. In India, the agriculture industry is one of the leading & dominating end-use industries and supports the overall Indian economy. Growing demand for food with the rising population is one of the major factors, which is propelling the demand for fertilizers in order to increase the production yield.

Zinc fertilizer is a cost-effective, long-term solution to zinc deficiency in soils, crops, and humans, resulting in increased food and nutrition security, increased farmer income, and a significant reduction in death and disease caused by zinc deficiency.

Hence, owing to the increased demand for fertilizers to enhance the yields, sales of zinc carbonate in India are forecast to increase at a CAGR of 4.7% during the assessment period.

What is Driving the China Zinc Carbonate Market?

Expansion of the Rubber Sector in China Will Fuel Sales of Zinc Carbonate

East Asia is expected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period owing to the high demand from the end use industries. China is anticipated to lead the region in terms of production as well as consumption.

China is said to be a manufacturing hub. One of the major industries utilizing zinc carbonate is the rubber industry. These rubbers are heavily used in auto parts, gloves, shoes, sporting goods, and car tires. The rubber industry is one of the lucrative segments for zinc carbonate. It is added to improve natural rubber's translucency or transparency.

Zinc carbonate can be used with more vibrantly pigmented rubber because it acts as a curing agent, hastening the hardening of the surface of the rubber. It is also used as a flame-retardants material by intervening as a fireproofing filler in high-temperature rubbers.

The growth in industrial machinery and automobile sectors has resulted in high demand for rubbers. The China zinc carbonate market is expected to reach about USD 76.5 Million by end of the forecast period.

What Factors Are Fueling Zinc Carbonate Utilization in Pharmaceuticals Application?

Demand for Zinc Carbonate Powder in the Pharmaceutical Sector Will Gain Traction

Zinc is one of the essential elements of the body and plays a vital role in the development of body parts. It has many uses in the medical field. Zinc carbonate is utilized to treat acne and eczema and to promote wound healing.

It has anti-inflammatory properties due to which it can be used to treat rheumatoid arthritis or psoriasis. Usually, due to its anti-inflammatory property, it is used in calamine lotions or powders, which are applied to the inflamed skin area.

Calamine lotion, which is composed of calamine (zinc oxide/carbonate), is widely used in dermatology where it works as a soothing agent. This lotion has antipruritic properties, which prevents itching. This lotion is listed in WHO’s essential list of medicines.

Zinc carbonate is used to remove toxic gases such as SO2 and HCN from the respiratory systems. For this purpose, nano-sized particles or powder form is used as powder form has more surface area, which means more interaction with these gases. Zinc carbonate is also used in dental treatment. It helps in reducing the hypersensitivity of teeth. Sales in the pharmaceuticals segment are expected to rise at a CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period.

How is the Cosmetics & Personal Care Industry Propelling Zinc Carbonate Market?

Incorporation of Zinc Carbonate in Personal Care Products Will Boost Sales
