Driver: Increasing use in food and beverages, personal care and healthcare
In food and beverages, the use of zinc citrate is increasing due to its good solubility, bioavailability, and neutral flavor properties. Beverages like water, juice drinks, energy and sports drinks, RTD tea and coffee, plant-based, instant drinks, carbonated soft drinks, and syrups with zinc citrates are used. Food like plant-based products, meat alternatives, sweat spreads, fruit preparations, ice creams, desserts, dairy alternatives, snacks, cereals, infant formula, and baby food in which zinc citrate is used.
In the healthcare sector, patients who suffer from zinc deficiency conditions need zinc citrate as food supplements, OTC, and clinical nutrition. In personal care products like soap and bath products, skin care, oral care, hair care, and deodorants, zinc citrate is used. These factors help in the growth of the zinc citrate market.
Restraint: Replacement risk and side effects
Overconsuming zinc citrate supplements causes some side effects such as vomiting, loss of appetite, stomach cramps, diarrhea, headache, fever, coughing, nausea, altered iron and copper functions, and fatigue. The long-term consumption of zinc citrate supplements increases the risk of adverse events. High zinc citrate intake is linked with iron deficiency, copper deficiency, and restrictions in the immune system. Some people cause loss of smell by the application of intranasal zinc citrate. If a patient takes iron supplements that are replaceable with zinc, it reduces zinc absorption. These factors may restrict the growth of the zinc citrate market.
Opportunity: Growing applications in various industries
Increased applications in the industrial sector of fertilizers and agrochemicals. Zinc citrate may be used to improve zinc content. Zinc is the main micronutrient for humans, plants, and animals, and it contributes to maintaining the structural strength of biological membranes, gene expression, and protein synthesis. In that case, zinc citrate may be used. Zinc citrate may be the best solution for high levels of zinc in fertilizers, which include crops such as cotton, beans, and corn. In pet food and feed for zinc content and the pharmaceutical sector, it may be used as a mineral source. These factors help to the growth of the zinc citrate market.
The zinc citrate dihydrate segment dominated the zinc citrate market in 2023. Zinc citrate trihydrate is slightly soluble in water, and it is in powdered form. Zinc citrate dihydrate has many health benefits, including decreasing inflammation, helping treat acne, reducing the risk of age-related diseases, advancing wound healing, and boosting the immune system. Zinc citrate dihydrate is commonly taken by mouth to treat and prevent zinc deficiency. Zinc citrate dihydrate is also used in dental care products like chewing gums, mouthwashes, and kinds of toothpaste because of their anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial properties. It also helps to inhibit or reduce the formation of dental tartar and plaque. According to the United States Pharmacopeia (USP), zinc citrate dihydrate is used in pharmaceuticals to fight against the common cold.
The zinc citrate trihydrate segment also has a significant share in the market. Zinc citrate trihydrates have several health benefits, such as treating acne, reducing the risk of age-related diseases, decreasing inflammation, advancing wound healing, and improving the immune system. Zinc citrate trihydrate is in powdered form, soluble in diluted hydrochloric acid, and insoluble in water. It is used in pharmaceuticals, oral care, and in specified foods. Zinc citrate trihydrate is largely used as the source of zinc in cold lozenges, vitamins, and nutritional food supplements. It shows that its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties contribute to the growth of the segment and the zinc citrate market.
The pharmaceuticals segment dominated the zinc citrate market in 2023. Zinc citrates are used in the pharmaceutical sector as a dietary supplement, dermatological treatments, wound care products, and cold and flu remedies. Zinc citrate is found in vitamins and supplements and is used in the treatment of zinc deficiency diseases and as an essential trace element. In various skin and dermatological treatments, zinc citrate plays an important role. In wound care formulations, zinc citrate is present to support the healing process. It is also used in dental care products like chewing gums, mouthwashes, and toothpastes because of their anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial diseases. It helps to reduce the formation of dental tartar and plaque. These uses of zinc citrate in pharma contribute to the growth of the segment.
The food and beverages segment is an opportunistic segment. Zinc is the main mineral of the body because it includes over 300 enzymatic reactions contributing to nerve function, digestion, and metabolism processes, and the body cannot produce it. It requires supplements or diets. The food sources of zinc are zinc-fortified products such as cereals and breads; plant sources like dairy products, seeds, nuts, and legumes; fortified foods like snack bars, breads, pastas, and cereals, and animal sources like red meat, eggs, turkey chicken, and beef. Zinc citrate is essential for the health benefits of proper smell and taste, to reduce the duration of the common cold, and to increase immune systems. The beverage's metal containers may transfer zinc from the container to the beverages stored in it. Tap water also contains zinc because it flows through the zinc-coated pipes. As the use of zinc citrate in food and beverages increases, it helps the zinc citrate market grow.
