Zinc Chloride Market is Expected to Grow at 4.5% by 2031. Zinc chloride is a deliquescent salt, white in color which forms acidic solutions in polar organic solvents such as acetone, ether, ethanol, and with water. It is also known to be hygroscopic and therefore needs to be protected from water vapor or any other sources of moisture. Neutral solutions of zinc chloride can be prepared with zinc chloride and acetone. Zinc chloride is known as Lewis acid and hence is electrophilic in nature. Its catalytic activity is lower as compared to aluminum chloride in Friedel-Crafts types of reactions. Zinc chloride is particularly effective in catalyzing reactions which eliminate mercaptans or ammonia and water.

Zinc chloride has a wide range of applications in various end-user industries. Some applications include Soldering, galvanizing, and tinning of fluxes. Heat decomposes moist fluxes based on zinc chloride which forms hydrochloric acid. This acid helps the removal of salts and oxides from metal surfaces which helps in good metal-to-metal bonding. Odor control is another application of zinc chloride due to which it is in high demand in the market. The reaction of zinc chloride with sulfide minimizes the release of H2S gas in wastewater treatment facilities, thus controlling odor. Vulcanization of rubber is the major application of zinc chloride among others. Zinc chloride is widely used in the rubber industry. Zinc chloride helps dissolve cellulosic fibers in the scrap and catalyzes depolymerization of the elastomer. Zinc chloride is used for many other applications such as organic synthesis, liquid fertilizer, textile finishing, wood preservatives, and dry cell batteries.

Growing demand for zinc chloride from the chemical industry is anticipated to boost the growth of the global zinc chloride market. Escalating demand from the textile industry is another factor contributing to the demand for zinc chloride in the market. Side effects of zinc chloride and the availability of safer alternatives is expected to hinder the growth of the global zinc chloride market. However, rising research and development activities for applications of zinc chloride are projected to fuel market growth during the forecast period.
