The supply and demand relationship of zinc raw materials has become tense from a loose pattern. Subject to the mismatch between Chinese raw materials and smelting capacity, the import of foreign zinc concentrate is still an important supplementary source of supply. Due to the sharp rise in raw material prices caused by power rationing in China, it has a great impact on zinc processing fees. Zinc consumption benefits from the economic growth of developing countries and the demand for infrastructure investment in the United States, and is expected to maintain stable growth.
Trend of zinc industry: industrial centralization, equipment automation and control informatization of zinc smelting industry continue to become an important direction of industry development. With the implementation of the national “double carbon” and “two high” policies, more enterprises with high energy consumption and small-scale production capacity will speed up the liquidation, and new clean and energy-saving production technologies and environmental protection equipment will be further promoted and applied in zinc smelting industry, green, low-carbon Intelligence will become an important topic for the high-quality development of the industry.
