The zinc citrate market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for zinc citrate has seen considerable expansion in the past few years. A growth forecast predicts an increase from $1.96 billion in 2024 to $2.07 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. Factors contributing to growth during the historic period include heightened demand for nutritional supplements, wider applications in the pharmaceutical industry, increased awareness about the advantages of zinc, the introduction of new oral health products, trends in functional food and drinks, rising concerns about zinc deficiency, and its use in treatments for the common cold.
The Zinc Citrate market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, the zinc citrate market is projected to experience robust growth, escalating to $2.73 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%.
This growth during the predicted period is due to the sustained expansion in the dietary supplements sector, emphasis on immune health, advancements in functional foods, broader application in skincare products, personalized nutritional solutions, and its inclusion in functional beverages. Key trends for the forecast period encompass product innovation and formulation, favor for bioavailability, exploration for potential health advantages, regulatory backing and standards, and practices towards sustainable procurement and manufacturing.
The forecasted surge in the zinc citrate market is closely tied to the anticipated growth in the pharmaceutical sector. The term 'pharmaceutical industry' is used to describe the sector that is concerned with the creation, production, and identification of medicinal drugs. Zinc citrate, known for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, is particularly useful in oral healthcare products like mouthwashes, chewing gums, and toothpaste. Furthermore, it serves as an effective treatment for the common cold. It is therefore a common ingredient in many pharmaceutical drugs. As outlined in a December 2022 report by Statistics Canada, a government agency, the personal and household goods subsector saw a third successive month of growth in October 2022, with an increase of 2.8%, leading to total sales of $11.6 billion. This growth was largely attributable to the pharmaceuticals and pharmacy supplies industry, which saw a 3.9% rise, resulting in sales of $6.4 billion. This was the industry's highest level of sales since January 2022. As such, the escalating requirements in the pharmaceutical sector act as a growth driver for the zinc citrate market.
