Southeast Asia Secondary Zinc Market was valued at US$ 1.25 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach US$ 1.87 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period. This growth trajectory reflects the region’s increasing industrialization and infrastructure development, coupled with rising demand for galvanized steel products across construction and automotive sectors.
Secondary zinc, derived from recycled zinc-containing materials including residues, drosses, and steel filter dust, plays a crucial role in promoting circular economy principles across Southeast Asian industries. While primary zinc production remains energy-intensive, secondary zinc offers an environmentally sustainable alternative that aligns with regional commitments to reduce carbon emissions.

Market Overview & Regional Analysis
Indonesia and Vietnam currently lead the Southeast Asian secondary zinc market, collectively accounting for over 45% of regional consumption. This dominance stems from their expanding steel industries and government initiatives supporting metal recycling. Thailand follows closely, with its well-established automotive manufacturing sector driving consistent demand for galvanized components.
Meanwhile, Malaysia and the Philippines are emerging as high-growth markets, though current zinc recycling rates remain below regional averages. Singapore serves as the primary trading hub for secondary zinc in Southeast Asia, leveraging its advanced logistics infrastructure to facilitate material flows throughout the archipelago.
Key Market Drivers and Opportunities
The market’s expansion is primarily fueled by three factors: accelerated infrastructure development, growing automotive production, and increasing environmental regulations promoting recycled materials. Governments across ASEAN are implementing strict landfill restrictions on industrial byproducts, effectively mandating higher zinc recycling rates.
Opportunities abound in developing specialized refining technologies for low-grade zinc residues, which currently represent an underutilized resource. The region’s shipbreaking industry also offers potential for increased zinc recovery, particularly in Bangladesh and Vietnam. Furthermore, digital platforms connecting zinc waste generators with recyclers are emerging as transformative solutions to improve collection efficiency.
Challenges & Restraints
Despite positive growth indicators, the market faces several hurdles. Variable zinc content in feed materials creates processing challenges, while inconsistent waste collection systems lead to supply volatility. Many smaller recyclers lack the capital to install advanced sorting and refining equipment needed to meet increasingly strict quality standards.
Trade protectionism also poses risks, as some countries impose restrictions on cross-border movement of zinc-containing waste. Additionally, competition from Chinese recyclers—who benefit from economies of scale—continues to pressure regional pricing structures.
