Key Highlights
- China was the biggest contributor, with 37.2% of total zinc mine production in 2013. The main producing provinces in China are Hunan, Yunnan, Shaanxi, Guangxi and Inner Mongolia, which together contribute around 70% of the country's total production.
- Over the forecast period (2014-2020), world zinc mine production is projected to fall to 13.2Mt in 2020 while global zinc consumption which was 13.2Mt in 2013 and up by 7.4% compared to 2012, is expected to reach 16.8Mt in 2020.
- A lack of investment in large-scale projects, the exhaustion of large operating mines and a gradual recovery of the global economy are expected to push the global zinc market into a state of pronounced deficit and apply upward pressure on prices.
- Upcoming zinc projects are mainly owned by small-scale companies, which account for 40% of global zinc production. There are nine projects, with combined reserves of 334.3Mt, scheduled to commence operations during 2014-2016.
