Asia Pacific Zinc Oxide Market is valued at approximately USD 2.92 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 8% over the forecast period 2024-2032. Zinc oxide is a chemical compound that has the formula ZnO. It's a white powder that won't dissolve in water. It occurs naturally as mineral zincite, although most of the zinc oxide is synthetically manufactured. Zinc oxide has a wide range of applications. It's a common ingredient in paints, cosmetics, and sunscreen. It is also used in rubber, plastics, ceramics, glass, and concrete. Zinc oxide is used as a topical ointment to treat diaper rash and other types of skin problems. Also, there is a growing trend towards the development of more efficient and environmentally friendly production processes for zinc oxide. Innovations in production technologies are aimed at reducing energy consumption and minimizing environmental impact, which anticipated to support the growth of Asia Pacific Zinc Oxide Market.
Moreover, Zinc oxide is a crucial ingredient in the rubber manufacturing process, particularly in the production of tires. The growing automotive industry in countries such as China, India, and Japan have led to an increased demand for ZnO, driven by the need for high-performance and durable tires. Also, the Asia Pacific region, especially China, South Korea, and Japan, is a hub for electronics manufacturing. ZnO is used in the production of varistors, ferrites, and semiconductors, fueling its demand as the electronics sector continues to expand. Additionally, other factors supporting the market growth are the growing cosmetics and personal care industry, increasing use of paints and coatings, and growing demand in the agriculture sector. However, fluctuations in zinc prices and restrictions on the use of zinc oxide in several applications are likely to stifle the growth of Asia Pacific Zinc Oxide Market during the projection period 2024-2032.
The key Countries considered for the Asia Pacific Zinc Oxide market study includes China, India, Japan, South Korea, Australia and Rest of Asia Pacific. In 2023, China was the largest regional market in terms of revenue. In China, the increasing demand from the rubber, ceramics, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics sectors, particularly from the rubber and ceramic industries, was driving market growth. Also, Zinc oxide is a key ingredient in sunscreen formulations due to its ability to protect against both UVA and UVB rays. With growing awareness of skin health and increasing disposable income in China, the demand for personal care products containing zinc oxide, such as sunscreens and cosmetics, was on the rise. Moreover, India is expected to grow with the highest CAGR during the forecast period 2024-2032.
