Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a white inorganic compound used extensively in the pharmaceutical, chemical, rubber, and glass industries. Through the vulcanization process, zinc oxide is utilized to enhance the durability of rubber. With increasing tire production, the rubber industry consumes most of the produced zinc oxide. As a result of the significant demand from the automotive industry, the rubber industry is a dominant segment. Most segments favor the wet chemical process because it permits the production of zinc oxide with finer particle size and more active grades, allowing the end user to reduce the dosage of the application. Because of its slow settling rate and good dispersion, the zinc oxide produced by this technique is known as "Active zinc oxide."
The development of nano-sized zinc oxide particles has led to highly transparent and effective sunscreens that provide better protection against UV radiation without the thick, white appearance traditionally associated with zinc oxide sunscreens. Zinc oxide is being investigated for use in energy storage applications, including batteries and supercapacitors, due to its excellent electrical and electrochemical properties. Innovations in smart coatings incorporate zinc oxide to create self-cleaning and self-repairing surfaces, offering durability and low maintenance. Zinc oxide nanowires are being explored in flexible electronics, sensors, and nanodevices, offering promising advancements in the electronics sector.
The increased awareness of sun protection and the demand for natural, non-chemical sunscreens have driven the use of zinc oxide in the Canadian cosmetic industry. The cosmetic industry in Canada benefits from the formulation of products that cater to health-conscious consumers. Zinc oxide's skin-soothing and anti-inflammatory properties make it valuable in anti-aging products. The Canadian cosmetic industry offers a range of products designed to reduce the visible signs of aging while protecting the skin from UV damage. Zinc oxide is a key component of mineral makeup, known for its natural coverage and UV protection. The demand for mineral makeup is rising in Canada, driven by consumers seeking clean and skin-friendly cosmetics.
According to the International Trade Administration report updated in 2022, the Canadian cosmetics industry generated around USD 1.24 billion in revenue in 2021. It is anticipated that industry revenue will increase by 1.45% a year to USD 1.8 billion by 2024. Due to these aspects, the market will increase across the North America region in upcoming years.
