The global zinc acetate market size was valued at $138.3 million in 2020, and is projected to reach $229.0 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2021 to 2030.

Zinc acetate is one of the key ingredients in manufacturing medicines and dietary products. Being an astringent, it is used in the production of anti-acne creams and ointments.  Zinc supplements containing zinc acetate are taken daily for meeting zinc requirements in humans.  It is found in medicines prescribed for common cold and diarrhea as well as age-related muscle degeneration. Zinc acetate is used as a wood preservative, feed additive, dye additive, and catalyst.

Surge in use of zinc acetate in making medicines & astringents, increase in global demand for animal feed products, and rise in consumption of wood products are the major drivers of the global zinc acetate market. Moreover, changes in lifestyle and dietary habits have led to insufficient intake of zinc that can cause various health issues.  Access to better diagnostics and primary health care has led to more awareness toward zinc deficiency. As result, there is a significant consumption of zinc acetate-based supplements. Similarly, the demand for nutritional products is on rise, and is expected to grow during the forecast period. Zinc acetate is further sold as an astringent in the form of an ointment, a topical lotion, or combined with an antibiotic for making a topical anti-itch ointment. In recent years, the demand for over-the-counter topical agents has shown significant growth. Moreover, need for preventing the degradation of wood has increased due to high consumption. Owing to improvement in lifestyle and increased purchasing power, decorations at home are made from wood, thereby boosting the sales of wood preservative chemicals such as zinc acetate. 

On the contrary, availability of other zinc-based additives is considered as a major restraint in the global zinc acetate market. Zinc oxide, zinc gluconate, and zinc citrate are some of the alternatives to zinc acetate. Each of these chemicals have similar uses and applications that could limit the demand for zinc acetate. For instance, similar to zinc acetate, zinc gluconate is often used in cold remedies, such as lozenges and nasal sprays. Zinc oxide further provides sufficient iron to an animal’s body and is added to animal feed products. 

Furthermore, rise in demand for zinc acetate from other applications is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the market growth during the forecast period. In addition, zinc acetate is used as a catalyst in producing various specialty chemicals such as polyamides and is used in the production of vinyl esters. In the synthesis of Zn-Co catalyst for acetylene acetoxylation, zinc acetate is considered to be an ideal catalyst active ingredient when taking into account product quality and environmental and economic factors. Thus, new applications will prove to be conducive for the global zinc acetate market growth. 

The global zinc acetate market is segmented into form, application, and region. On the basis of form, the global zinc acetate market is bifurcated into dihydrate and anhydrous. Applications of zinc acetate include dietary & medicine, analytical reagent, wood preservative, chemical, and others. Region wise, the global zinc acetate market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
