Flourishing Use Of Zinc Phosphate Across End-Use Industries Like Automotive, Is Posing To Be A Prime Driving Factor For The Market

The global zinc phosphate market is likely to reach USD 136.33 million by 2022 and the zinc phosphate product performance is attributed to be positive, owing to the global economic recovery. It is an inorganic chemical compound, which is used to protect metal surfaces from abrasions and corrosions. 

Often a seeding agent is used during the coating of metal structures, as zinc phosphate better adheres to a crystalline surface. It is also used as a pigmented primer and as a part of an electroplating process during corrosion protection coating on metal surfaces. 

Zinc phosphate cement is produced by a proportionate mixing of zinc oxide and zinc oxide powders, coupled with a liquid consisting of water, buffers, and phosphoric acid. Zinc phosphate cement is used as a standard prosthetics in dentistry. It is prevailing in dentistry over the past several years and is still commonly used. It's surging from rapidly growing dentistry applications worldwide, is expected to drive the global market over the projected timeframe.

Asia Pacific is likely to emerge as the fastest growing region over the coming years and can be attributed to the increasing demand for zinc phosphate across emerging countries like India, China, Thailand, and Malaysia. This trend is primarily due to the vast agricultural practices in India and China, which has fueled the market’s demand in crop production. Furthermore, countries like Argentina, Brazil, Russia, and South Africa are demonstrating rapid demand and is expected to increase over the next few years.

Based on the product, the market has been categorized into high purity, high zinc, and superfine types. The end-use industry has identified coatings, medical, and others as its key application sectors. Zinc phosphate coating is employed as a pretreatment procedure before painting. It is generally applied to threaded parts and to add anti-galling and rust inhibiting properties and the top is coated with oil (P&O). Typically, these coatings are used on steel parts as iron in the steel is essential for the coating to form a strong bond with the metal surface. The growing use of ferrous metal has fueled market demand. Zinc phosphate is a lighter alternative to manganese phosphate and can be applied by immersion or spraying. 

Although zinc phosphates are known to provide good barrier protection and metal adherence, due to its low-solubility nature, phosphates do not possess enough inhibiting power in comparison to chromates, and thus, lack the necessary self-healing capabilities. However, self-healing capabilities can be observed when the zinc phosphate coating contains soluble phosphates as its potential ingredient. 

The market players are pinpointing opportunities to optimize their market positions by adopting development policies and business strategies. Some of the key players operating in this market include SNCZ, Heubach, Delphos, WPC Technology, Hanchang Industries, Nubiola, Numenor, Vanchem Performance Chemicals, Xinsheng Chemical, VB Technochemicals, Nelson Chemicals, Jinqiao Zinc Industrial, Kunyuan Chemical, and Shenlong Zinc Industry among others.
