The India zinc cyanide market import shipment demonstrated strong growth with a CAGR of 21.9% from 2020 to 2024. However, there was a notable slowdown in growth between 2023 and 2024, with a decline of 18.8%. Despite this dip, the market maintained an overall upward momentum over the period under review.
Zinc cyanide is an inorganic compound with the molecular formula Zn(CN)2. It is a white, hygroscopic crystalline solid which can be produced by treating zinc metal with hydrogen cyanide. It finds application as an electroplating agent and a source of cyanide ions in organic synthesis. India demand for zinc cyanide has grown at a significant rate over the past few years on account of its increasing use to manufacture various products such as dyes, pigments, and pharmaceuticals. Furthermore, rising investments in end-user industries have also propelled the market growth significantly. However, stringent environmental regulations regarding hazardous substances may act as a restraint for the growth of this market.
The key factors driving the growth of India zinc cyanide market include growing demand from various end-use industries such as automotive manufacturing and consumer electronics industry; increasing number of automobile production units; expanding base metals exploration activities; shifting focus towards advanced plating processes due to greater requirement for aesthetic appeal among consumers; and strong government support through initiatives such as Make In India program etc., all these are expected to drive up demand for zinc cyanides across different regions in India.
However there some challenges that limit its widespread usage like health hazards associated with handling or accidental inhalation/ingestion of Zyklon B (which contains high levels of bulk concentrations); availability issues due to limited sources & transportation costs involved etc., This could pose certain restrictions on product pricing & supply chain operations resulting into reduced margins & increased cost pressures for manufacturers operating within this niche sector. Moreover presence of substitute technologies like substituted Plastics would further challenge existing norms making it difficult for players operating within this domain to sustain their competitive edge against rivals while striving hard towards maintaining profitability margins.
Some major players dominating India zinc Cyanide Market are Aakash Chemicals Pvt Ltd., Aditya Birla Group , Nihon Kasei chemicals Co ltd , Punjab Chemicals And Crop Protection Ltd , Rajvir Industries Pvt Ltd , Shree Ganesh Dyechem Pvt Ltd. These companies are engaged in research development activities focused around improving current process parameters thereby enabling them to offer better quality products at more competitive prices than competitors.
The nationwide lockdown imposed by the government of India to contain the spread of coronavirus has adversely impacted the supply chain of zinc cyanide and other chemicals, leading to disruption in the availability and delivery of raw materials used for production. This has caused delays and backlogs in production processes, resulting in decreased overall output levels. With economic activities slowing down significantly due to lockdown restrictions, demand from end-user industries such as mining, electroplating, metal finishing etc., has also declined drastically. This is mainly because these industries require large amounts of metals which are not available at present due to disruptions caused by global lockdowns affecting their respective countries??? trade operations with India. Additionally, consumer sentiment towards durable goods that use zinc coatings or involve electroplating is low due to financial constraints induced by reduced income levels across various sectors owing to job losses/pay cuts etc., thus further impacting demand for zinc cyanide products from industrial customers directly or indirectly dependent on them (e.g., manufacturers/suppliers).
