Zinc Chloride Prices, Trends & Forecasts | Provided by Procurement Resource

In the first quarter of 2023, the zinc chloride market in Asia experienced a notable resurgence as manufacturing activities bounced back after a period of COVID-19 restrictions and the Chinese holiday season. This revival, coupled with robust performances in the food and beverage, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceutical industries, drove zinc chloride prices upwards. However, the second quarter introduced volatility and consistent price declines as downstream industries faced significant sales contractions, and China's export rates plummeted, contributing to an overall price decline.

Meanwhile, in Europe, the first quarter witnessed a substantial increase in zinc chloride prices due to a surge in domestic and international orders, although the rate of increase slowed due to lower demand from downstream industries and an oversupply. Negative factors included declining natural gas prices, rising unemployment, and reduced profit margins for traders.

In North America, price increases during the first quarter were linked to the growth of pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries. While the second quarter initially maintained price increases, the slow economic recovery following the downfall of two major banks impacted end-user industries, and inflationary pressures led to a significant drop in trading activities, pushing zinc chloride prices downward.

Definition

Zinc chloride, a chemical compound with the formula ZnCl2, is a white crystalline substance known for its versatile chemical properties. It is highly soluble in water and has a wide range of applications. Zinc chloride is hygroscopic, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the air. This compound serves as a Lewis acid, facilitating various chemical reactions. It finds use in soldering fluxes, galvanizing, and as a wood preservative. In organic synthesis, it acts as a catalyst and dehydrating agent. Additionally, zinc chloride is employed in the textile and paper industries for mercerization and in oil and gas exploration as a drilling fluid additive.
