The global agricultural grade zinc chemicals market size was worth around USD 0.98 billion in 2024 and is predicted to grow to around USD 1.90 billion by 2035 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2% from 2025 and 2035. Growing demand for micronutrient-rich fertilizers, technological developments in zinc formulations, the expansion of sustainable farming methods, and greater government support for initiatives aimed at improving crop productivity and soil health present opportunities for the agricultural grade zinc chemicals market.  

Market Overview

The global industry segment devoted to the manufacturing, distribution, and usage of zinc-based compounds, such as zinc sulfate, zinc oxide, and chelated zinc, that are especially designed for agricultural use, is known as the agricultural grade zinc chemicals market. These substances act as vital micronutrients that improve agricultural yields by addressing zinc deficiency in plants and soil. They are widely used in soil amendments, foliar sprays, and fertilizers, and they help in physiological processes like photosynthesis, protein synthesis, and enzyme activation.  

The growth is anticipated to be fueled by the increasing need for chemicals to maximize agricultural yield per hectare from agricultural fields with a zinc shortage. Increasing expectations for agricultural productivity and the crucial role zinc plays in raising crop yield are driving the market for agriculture-grade zinc chemicals. Growing awareness of the advantages of zinc micronutrients in the agricultural sector and the emphasis on increasing agricultural output per hectare of land are two major drivers propelling the agricultural grade zinc chemicals market.
