According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Low-Temperature Zinc Oxide Desulfurization Agent market size was valued at US$ 126 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 171 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 4.5% during review period.
Low-temperature zinc oxide desulfurization agents are solid fine-desulfurization materials that utilize active zinc oxide as the primary desulfurization component. Their low-temperature reactivity is enhanced through techniques such as pore expansion and the incorporation of promoters—including copper, alkali metals, and other metal oxides—via loading or direct addition. Typically manufactured as extrudates, cylinders, or spherical pellets, these agents are loaded into fixed-bed reactors. Operating at temperatures ranging from ambient to approximately 250°C, they chemically absorb hydrogen sulfide from feedstock gases or liquid hydrocarbons, converting it into stable zinc sulfide; certain products are also capable of removing COS, CS₂, and low-molecular-weight mercaptans.
Upstream raw materials primarily include zinc sources (such as active zinc oxide, basic zinc carbonate, or zinc hydroxide), supports (such as alumina or silica), and promoting components (such as copper oxide, magnesium oxide, manganese oxides, or alkali metal salts), alongside binders, pore-forming agents, lubricants, and molding aids. Downstream applications are found in hydrogen production, ammonia synthesis, methanol production, coal chemical processing, natural gas treatment, and refining/petrochemical facilities, where these agents are typically positioned downstream of hydrodesulfurization or COS hydrolysis units.
Global sales volume is projected to reach approximately 23,000 metric tons in 2025, with prices generally ranging from $4,500 to $6,000 per ton and leading manufacturers achieving gross margins of approximately 25% to 38%.
