The global zinc oxide market is expected to reach US$7.3 billion in 2032 with revenue growth of 6.4 % CAGR over the 2022 and 2032 assessment period. Increasing demand for zinc oxide in rubber industry due to growth in the automotive sector remains a key factor.
Zinc oxide is used extensively in the rubber industry. Used as a rubber vulcanization activator to convert the material into a more durable material by adding strength, improving its resistance to heat and abrasion and also aiding in UV degradation. Rubber products have a wide range of applications in various industries, such as: B. engineering, construction, packaging and manufacturing.
Increasing demand for rubber in the automotive industry for the manufacture of a variety of products, such as tires, hoses, gaskets coil coatings, waste hoses and adhesives are expected to increase demand for zinc oxide in the rubber industry.
According to a study, zinc oxide is also used where it is used in coatings to protect car parts from corrosion. Zinc oxide nanoparticles are used in the formulation of automotive electrical coatings, they absorb ultraviolet light and prevent corrosion of an inner layer.
According to an FMI analyst, “growing production and consumption of industrial grade zinc oxide across paints & coatings and the chemical sector is likely to boost market growth throughout the projection period.”
