The zinc metal demand outlook looks uncertain due to high energy prices and its market volatility.
The soft demand from the US while the country battles inflation and the Chinese unresolved economic deflation coupled with intensified metal stocking inventory may lead to a reduced supply from the number of zinc producers.
However, analysts are hopeful that zinc output and demand from China will return to its normal production performance once the country settles its economic trouble.
Thus, the overall zinc price forecast will continue to be modest at a trading value of $2,200 per metric in 2025.
