Based on our research output, there has been a positive impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The growing demand from developing countries is notably driving the zinc market growth, although factors such as stringent regulations and policies may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the zinc industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Zinc Market Driver
The growing demand from developing countries is notably driving the zinc market growth. The global zinc market is witnessing significant growth in developing economies such as China, India, Brazil, Indonesia, and Mexico. Vendors in the market are shifting their manufacturing activities to these countries due to factors such as the availability of raw materials, cheap labor, low transportation costs, and less stringent government regulations on mining. The emergence of China and India as the manufacturing hubs in the automobile, construction, and other general industries in APAC will have a positive impact on market growth. Zinc is commonly used in the production of building panels, steel framing, and automotive components. The growing demand for passenger cars in APAC is expected to drive the demand for zinc. In China, in 2017, the production of passenger vehicles accounted for a share of 33% of the global passenger vehicles market. Initiatives such as Make in India to support in-house manufacturing will also support the growth of the automobile industry in India, as a result, will drive the demand for zinc during the forecast period.
Key Zinc Market Trend
The increase in zinc ore production capacity is the key market trend driving the zinc market growth. The ongoing exploration and production of zinc ore for meeting the demand for zinc will have a positive impact on market growth. The upgrade of various zinc mines such as the Rampura Agucha mine (India), the Gamsberg mine (South Africa), and the Dugald River mine (Australia) will increase the availability of raw material for the production of zinc. In FY2020 Hindustan Zinc produced 3.9 MMT of zinc ore at the Rampura Agucha mine. The ongoing upgrading of underground mine projects, including production shafts, surface and paste fill, and ventilation shafts, is expected to produce 5 MMT per annum of zinc ore during the forecast period. In November 2017, MMT Limited began the production of finished zinc concentrate at the Dugald River mine, Australia. The company is expecting to produce an average of 1.7 MMT per annum of zinc ore to produce almost 170 thousand tons per annum of zinc in concentrate and by-products. The upgrading of mining plants to produce zinc ore to meet the demand for zinc is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
Key Zinc Market Challenge
The major challenge impeding the zinc market growth is the stringent regulations and policies. Regulatory agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) laying regulatory norms for the production and use of chemicals and the requirement for adhering to regulations such as Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) for the production and use of chemical substances restrict market growth. In the US, the 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 440 part 103 by the EPA provides guidelines and standards for the direct and indirect dischargers for zinc processing and smelting operations. The guidelines and standards for direct and indirect discharges are incorporated in the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). In December 2017, the EPA proposed to finalize the financial responsibility requirements under Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) for mining facilities. In Europe, the regulation Directive 2006/21/EC provides guidelines on waste management for mining industries. The stringent regulations on zinc mining for proper waste disposal are likely to have an adverse effect on market growth.
