Technavio's zinc oxide indutry research predicts that the global zinc oxide market will grow steadily at a CAGR of around 4% by 2021. The increasing demand for zinc oxide from the emerging economies is identified as one of the primary growth factors for this market. The global zinc oxide market is witnessing high growth in developing economies such as China, India, Russia, Brazil, and Indonesia. Numerous original equipment manufacturers are shifting their manufacturing facilities to these countries due to factors such as cheap labor, availability of land, low transportation costs, and less stringent government norms. The increasing income and purchasing power in the developing countries of APAC and ROW are attracting high investments in the automotive, construction, and chemical industries. These growing industries are projected to drive the demand for zinc oxide during the forecast period. Moreover, the zinc oxide manufacturing companies have opportunities to capitalize on the growth of emerging markets such as Japan, South Africa, and India. These countries are likely to spend heavily on automobiles, paints and coatings, and building and construction. This will again demand the need for zinc oxide, subsequently driving zinc oxide market growth.
The rising demand for zinc oxide from diversified applications is one of the latest trends that will gain traction in the global zinc oxide market. There has been significant increase in R&D activities to increase the application of zinc oxide in various diversified areas such as electronic and photonic segment. This is expected to drive the demand for zinc oxide in the forthcoming years. Moreover, the utilization of zinc oxide in new applications such as fungicides, transparent transistors, light emitting diodes, solar cells, and memory devices will also lead to the consumption of a high volume of zinc oxide during the forecast period.
The zinc oxide market is characterized by the presence of well-diversified international, regional, and local vendors. These vendors mainly compete based on factors such as operation cost, innovation, product quality, and price. The competition in the market is likely to increase further over the next five years and this will attribute to the increase in innovations and product extensions. The major players in the market have a broad geographical presence with large manufacturing facilities located across the globe.
