Global Zinc Mining to 2030 (2025 Review)

Summary

GlobalData's Global Zinc Mining to 2030 (2025 Review) provides a comprehensive coverage on the global zinc industry. It provides historical and forecast data on zinc production by country, production by company, reserves by country, world zinc prices, zinc trade and zinc consumption. The report also includes a demand drivers section providing information on factors that are affecting the global zinc industry. It further profiles major zinc producers, information on the major active, planned and exploration projects by region.

Global zinc production is expected to grow by 4.2% to 12.4Mt in 2025 after a 2.8% decline in 2024, driven by the ramp-up of operations in the DRC, China, and Russia. The Kipushi Mine in the DRC, which was under care and maintenance until 2023, restarted in May 2024, targeting an annualized production rate of 250kt by 2026. Additionally, China's Huoshaoyun and Russia's Ozernoe mines, which began operations in 2024, are ramping up production in 2025.

Ireland, India, and Kazakhstan are also set to see strong growth in 2025. Ireland’s Tara mine, reopened in May 2024 following a workforce agreement, is expected to reach full production by early 2025, ensuring six more years of mining. Additionally, the start of Kazakhstan’s Shalkiya Expansion project in 2025 will contribute to increased output.
