Zinc is a base metal mined and processed industrially in large quantities worldwide. Its largest single application is corrosion protection through galvanization, followed by use in alloy metals and chemical compounds. For investors, zinc is relevant because supply and demand are highly cyclical, and new applications—such as energy storage—are providing additional momentum. Zinc companies often find themselves caught between energy costs, environmental regulations, and geopolitical conditions.
Zinc is used across numerous industries—especially where durability, protection, or alloying capability are required:
Zinc offers investors access to a cyclical yet essential industrial metal. Infrastructure investments, e-mobility, and new storage technologies could drive demand. On the other hand, high energy costs, environmental regulations, and supply delays pose risks. Investing in zinc stocks means betting on commodity cycles—and exploration expertise.
