Operating rates across Chinese zinc oxide producers stood at 54.4% in May.

SHANGHAI, Jun 12 (SMM) – Operating rates across Chinese zinc oxide producers stood at 54.4% in May, down 2.73 percentage points month on month and down 2.42 percentage points year on year, SMM research found.

A few zinc oxide producers told SMM that they received fewer orders given the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit held earlier this month.

SMM estimates the operating rates across Chinese zinc oxide producers to dip 0.39 percentage point to 54% in June, based on the production plans of the surveyed companies.

The Zinc Salt Industry Will See Higher Concentrate Ratio for Better Development

With the recent spike in raw materials prices, it is very difficult for indirect-process zinc oxide companies to survive if downstream sales prices do not increase. Since 2010 to date, the concentration of the zinc oxide industry has gradually increased, with the number of enterprises falling from more than 700 to around 150 as of today. However, although the concentration of production capacity has increased, the issue of overcapacity is very serious, mainly caused by the intensive competitions among the companies.
