Zinc Chelates Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

The global zinc chelates market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.50% in the forecast period between 2025 and 2034, owing to the increasing awareness regarding zinc deficiency amongst people.

Key Trends in the Market

Chelated zinc is essentially zinc supplements that are primarily used to treat human and animal zinc deficiencies. Chelated minerals are made up of water-soluble organic minerals, which is why they are readily absorbed. Human consumption of zinc chelates treat zinc deficiencies, improve immune system function, promote better management of blood sugars, and improve heart health. Animals who consume zinc methionine chelate benefit from its ability to increase immunity, maintain healthy skin and hooves, build their muscles, produce milk, and reproduce.

• Over the course of the forecast period, it is anticipated that there will be a rise in demand for zinc chelates due to rising consumer awareness of zinc deficiency and the nutritional benefits of zinc chelates for both animals and humans.
• One of the main minerals utilised in animal feed is zinc. It aids in protein synthesis and is crucial in improving the capabilities of defence enzymes . Therefore, increased consumer spending, high animal product consumption, and a thriving animal feed industry are expected to boost zinc chelates market expansion.
• The rising market demand for high-quality meat or poultry products, combined with a number of product improvements, such as the introduction of natural and organic feed items is propelling the zinc chelates market growth.
• Additional factors, such as the agriculture sector's rapid expansion and intense research and development (R&D) efforts, are predicted to fuel market growth. Chelated zinc fertilisers are commonly used in agriculture for higher yields by supporting plant growth.
