CEH: Zinc Chemicals, Inorganic

Apr 2020. This report covers the major zinc chemicals of commercial importance: zinc oxide, zinc sulfate, and zinc chloride. Major market segments for zinc chemicals include rubber compounding, agriculture, and ceramics. Zinc chemicals continue to show growth in the area of fertilizers, animal feed, and food consumption. As more than 50% of the soils in the world are considered to be zinc-deficient and the world population continues to increase, the arable land per person continues to decline; therefore, crop yields must increase. In many studies, including projects in Brazil, China, India, and Turkey, agricultural yields were increased by adding zinc to standard fertilizers and premixes. In addition, various organizations and businesses alike have begun to emphasize the benefits of zinc used in food and nutritional supplements.
