Global zinc long-term outlook Q3 2015
This report is currently unavailable
Report summary
The Global Zinc Metal Market Long-term Outlook provides the latest update of detailed supply and demand analysis and price forecasts for the zinc market out to 2035. In the medium to long term, the key issue is whether the zinc mining industry will be able to develop sufficient new mine capacity to offset scheduled mine closures and the incremental increase in global demand. This structural issue could be exacerbated by the recent retreat in the zinc price which will make raising the funds to develop new mines more difficult and increases the risk of the unplanned near-term closure of existing zinc mines owing to poor profitability.
