Zinc Sulphate Demand to Reach USD 1.40 Billion by 2036
Subhead: USD 1.03 billion in 2026 | USD 1.40 billion by 2036 | 3.10%
CAGR
August 25, 2026 — The global zinc
sulphate market is valued at USD 1.03 billion in 2026 and is
forecast to reach USD 1.40 billion by 2036, expanding at a 3.10% CAGR from 2026
to 2036, according to Fact.MR. The market was valued at USD 1.00 billion in
2025.
Demand remains steady because zinc sulphate serves several end
uses. Animal feed producers use it as a micronutrient supplement. Agriculture
uses it to correct zinc deficiency through foliar and soil applications.
Pharmaceutical producers use pharmaceutical-grade zinc sulphate in oral
rehydration therapy and dietary supplements. This diversified demand base
supports procurement across feed, fertilizer, industrial, and pharmaceutical
applications.

Analyst Commentary
Shambhu Nath Jha, Principal Consultant for Chemicals and Materials
at Fact.MR, states that zinc sulphate economics are governed mainly by upstream
zinc smelter conditions rather than downstream demand. He also notes that
pricing follows LME zinc metal quotations plus a conversion-cost premium,
making procurement strategy important for buyers.
