Zinc Sulphate Industry Analysis

The global zinc sulphate market size reached USD 1.93 Billion in 2024. By 2033​, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 3.57 Billion, at a projected CAGR of 6.75% during 2025-2033.

• The increasing urbanization is raising the need for effective water treatment solutions. Zinc sulphate is used in water treatment facilities to remove impurities through various mechanisms such as coagulation, precipitation, and ion exchange. Its ability to facilitate the removal of contaminants such as heavy metals and pathogens makes it an essential component in water treatment facilities, ensuring access to clean and safe drinking water for urban communities. According to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, the world population reached 8 billion in 2022, with 55% living in urban areas, which is forecasted to rise to 70% by 2050. This urban growth necessitates expanded water treatment infrastructure, thereby increasing the demand for chemicals such as zinc sulphate. It is essential for addressing water quality challenges in municipal and industrial settings, contributing to public health and environmental sustainability efforts.
• The increasing demand for zinc sulfate in pharmaceutical applications, particularly in formulations aimed at addressing zinc deficiency and supporting immune function. It is utilized in the treatment of conditions associated with zinc deficiency, such as growth retardation, impaired immune function, and skin disorders such as acne and eczema. Hence many pharmaceutical companies are formulating tablets to cure zinc deficiency. For instance, in June 2023, Swiss Pharma Nigeria Limited ( Swipha) was the first organization to receive World Health Organization prequalification for zinc sulfate 20mg dispersible tablet in West Africa.
• Governments and international bodies are focusing on biofortification as a strategy to reduce micronutrient malnutrition globally. Zinc sulphate is crucial for biofortifying crops such as rice, wheat, and maize with zinc to increase the zinc content in crops. For instance, biofortification aims to increase the nutritional value of food crops through agricultural practices, conventional plant breeding, or modern biotechnology. According to the National Library of Medicine, micronutrient deficiencies affect about 38% of pregnant women and 43% of preschool children worldwide while more than 30% of the world population is reported to be anaemic. It can be resolved with the adoption of biofortification that can aid in curbing and improving nutrient contents such as zinc, and iron in biofortified food crops, offering sufficient levels of such micronutrients. It is often applied directly to the soil as a fertilizer to replenish zinc levels in zinc-deficient soils, thereby enhancing the uptake of zinc by the crops grown in these soils.
