Zinc Ingot Price Trend for the First Half of 2023

Asia

The zinc ingot market depreciated in the second quarter of 2023 in the Asia Pacific region; however, the trend in the first quarter was supported by the hike in demand from the downstream industries, especially in the Chinese market. The holiday season, uncertainties in the banking sector, and sliding economic conditions proved to be challenges for the zinc ingot market, but the purchasing capacity of buyers supported the overall zinc ingot trend.

The second quarter was negatively impacted by the rise in the level of inventories due to enhanced mining activities resulting in the high influx of material in the market, while the number of inquiries and overall demand from the downstream industries remained muted amid the struggling economic conditions.

Europe

The demand for zinc ingot in the first quarter of 2023 inclined as the level of imports slumped. However, some month-on-month disruptions were also observed. Demand from coil-related products supported the rise in the price trend, but limited trading activities and receding confidence of buyers in the market due to fluctuating economic conditions continued to be a problem for the zinc ingot market. Due to this, the trend ultimately declined in the second quarter.

The mining activities also surged globally that led to an influx of high volumes of the product in the region, but the consumer demand was not sufficient to cater to the rising inventories due to the declining trajectory followed by the construction and automobile industries that ultimately led to the fall in the prices of zinc ingot.

North America

Unlike the European and Asia Pacific regions, the first quarter was not favorable for the zinc ingot market. The price trend was stagnant due to steady demand and rising rates of inflation. This continued to be a problem in the second quarter also.

The market of galvanized steel was adversely affected by the reduction in construction activities due to the onset of the monsoon season. In addition to this, the North American market was also adversely affected by declining economic conditions, rising inflation rates, and a halt in the consumption of natural gas and fuels, leading to a drop in their prices.

Analyst Insight

According to Procurement Resource, the price trend of zinc ingot is estimated to follow a declining trajectory. The price trend will be negatively impacted by the subdued demand from the construction sector and falling global economic conditions.

About

Refined zinc metal in the form of a solid block is called zinc ingot which is produced via smelting and purification of zinc. This ingot is bluish white in color with high malleability and ductility and low melting point. In addition to this, zinc ingot also has high corrosion resistance as it forms a layer of oxide over its surface, that protects the core material. Zinc's ability to alloy with other metals makes it valuable in various industrial applications, from galvanization to alloy production, owing to its unique combination of properties.
