According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Zinc Oxide for Cosmetics market size was valued at US$ 350 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 490 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 4.9% during review period.
Cosmetic-grade zinc oxide is a high-purity, low-impurity inorganic powder raw material with excellent UV shielding, skin protection, and gentle anti-irritant properties. It is widely used in sunscreens, baby care products, sensitive skin care, and makeup formulations, and is a typical physical functional ingredient.
Upstream suppliers mainly include zinc ore resources, zinc ingots, chemical-grade zinc oxide, and related energy and chemical auxiliaries. Downstream suppliers primarily include sunscreen cosmetics, baby care products, sensitive skin care products, cosmeceutical brands, and OEM/ODM cosmetic manufacturers.
In 2025, the global market price for cosmetic-grade zinc oxide was $4,972 per ton, with annual sales of approximately 68,500 tons, a global annual production capacity of 70,000 tons, and an industry profit margin of 25%.
Global Market Future Development Trends
With increasing global consumer focus on skin safety, ingredient transparency, and environmental friendliness, cosmetic zinc oxide, due to its low irritation and suitability for sensitive skin and infant products, has become a significant alternative to some chemical sunscreens. Stricter regulations in various countries further solidify its long-term demand in the sun protection and skin care sectors.
To address the issues of strong whitening and a heavy feel associated with traditional zinc oxide, the industry is continuously advancing the development of nano-sized zinc oxide, coated zinc oxide, and surface modification technologies. These technologies improve transparency, dispersibility, and formulation stability while maintaining protective performance, making high-end cosmetics and functional skincare products the main growth drivers.
The continued growth in cosmetics consumption in emerging markets such as the Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East, coupled with rising demand for high-end sunscreens, medical skincare, and functional makeup, is driving the cosmetic zinc oxide market from a "basic raw material driven" to a "performance and technology driven" model, with both industry value and technological barriers increasing simultaneously.
