As we enter the second quarter of 2026, the zinc carbonate market is performing well overall. Currently, there is strong demand for transparent rubber and high-end pharmaceutical products, leading many manufacturers to expand their production capacity and continuously improve product quality.
There have also been new breakthroughs in production technology, with new eco-friendly processes being put into use, making production more energy-efficient. In terms of exports, performance has been impressive, with shipments to Southeast Asia increasing by over 19% year-on-year. Influenced by new EU regulations, the industry is further strictly controlling heavy metal content.
In addition to stable demand in traditional sectors such as rubber, feed, and daily chemicals, new types of foamed zinc carbonate are gradually opening up new markets. At this stage, prices for high-end products remain stable, and the overall development trend of the industry is positive.
