India Zinc Oxide Market Trends:

Rising Demand from the Rubber and Tire Industry

The India zinc oxide market is witnessing significant demand growth from the rubber and tire industry, which remains its largest end-use sector. Zinc oxide is a key ingredient in rubber vulcanization, enhancing durability, heat resistance, and elasticity. With the rapid expansion of India’s automotive segment, mainly propelled by escalating vehicle manufacturing and fueling user requirement for two-wheelers and four-wheelers, tire manufacturing is experiencing sustained growth. For instance, as per industry reports, in September 2024, the total manufacturing of quadricycles, passenger vehicles, and two- and three-wheelers stood at 27,73,039 units. Additionally, government initiatives promoting electric mobility, such as the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (FAME) scheme, are further accelerating tire production. This surge is increasing the need for high-quality zinc oxide to meet performance and safety standards. Domestic manufacturers are also investing in capacity expansion and technological upgrades to cater to the growing demand. Furthermore, fluctuations in zinc prices and supply chain constraints may impact production costs, prompting companies to explore cost-effective production methods and alternative sources of raw materials.

Expanding Applications in the Pharmaceutical and Cosmetics Industry

Zinc oxide is gaining traction in India’s pharmaceutical and cosmetics sectors due to its antibacterial, UV-protective, and skin-soothing properties. In pharmaceuticals, it is widely used in ointments, creams, and medicated powders for treating skin conditions such as rashes, sunburn, and acne. The increasing prevalence of dermatological issues, along with heightened consumer awareness of skincare, is driving demand for zinc oxide-based formulations. For instance, as per industry reports, approximately 1 in 2 customers across India are suffering with dry skin in 2024, with 82% respondents revealing experience anxiety when attending public places due to skin conditions. In the cosmetics industry, its role as a key ingredient in sunscreens, lotions, and personal care products is expanding, supported by growing consumer preference for mineral-based, chemical-free skincare solutions. The Indian government’s focus on promoting domestic pharmaceutical production under the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme is encouraging local zinc oxide manufacturers to enhance quality standards and expand supply chains. Moreover, stringent regulations on product safety and efficacy are prompting companies to invest in high-purity grades of zinc oxide, ensuring compliance with international standards for pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications.
