Drivers

Growing Demand for Agricultural Products 

• One of the major drivers of the global zinc sulfate market is the growing demand from the agricultural sector. Zinc sulfate acts as an important micronutrient, which is necessary to prevent zinc deficiency in soil. These deficiencies often lead to lower yields and poor harvests. As a result, farmers are increasingly adopting crops fortified with zinc sulfate to improve soil health and improve plant nutrition. Moreover, increasing awareness among agricultural stakeholders on the important role of micronutrients in improving yields further increases the demand for zinc sulphate fertilizers and hence the agricultural sector is a key driver of market growth. 

Expanding Applications in Pharmaceutical Industry 

• Another major factor driving the global zinc sulfate market is the expansion in the pharmaceutical industry. Zinc sulfate is used in medicine for its healing properties, which include antibacterial and wound healing properties. Furthermore, the demand for zinc sulfate-based pharmaceuticals is increasing due to various health conditions such as colds, flu and dermatitis, and the rapid expansion of the pharmaceutical industry, especially in emerging economies. As pharmaceutical manufacturers introduce new formulations and new developments including zinc sulfate, the market is poised for continued growth.  

Restraints 

Ever Increasing Price of Raw Material

Strict Environmental Regulations 

• Another notable mandate that the global zinc sulfate market faces is stringent environmental regulations governing its manufacture and use. Zinc mining and processing are environmental considerations such as soil pollution, water pollution, air pollution, leading regulators to enforce these laws with stringent standards and guidelines compliance. As a result, compliance and environmental sustainability emerge as a priority operating in global zinc sulfate market, leading to market growth.
