Zinc Citrate Global Market Report 2026

Zinc citrate is a compound formed from zinc and citric acid. Commonly utilized as a dietary supplement, it provides zinc, an essential mineral that aids in immune function, wound healing, and numerous metabolic processes. Zinc citrate is recognized for its superior absorption compared to some other zinc forms, making it a favored option in supplements.

The main types of zinc citrate are dihydrate and trihydrate. Zinc citrate dihydrate refers to organometallic compounds, also known as metalorganics, and organo-inorganic compounds. These compounds are available in various forms, including liquid and powder, and find applications in industries such as personal care, health care, food and beverage, agriculture, and others.

The zinc citrate market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.04 billion in 2025 to $2.18 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of dietary supplement consumption, rising awareness of zinc deficiency, expansion of pharmaceutical manufacturing capacity, increasing use of zinc in oral care products, availability of food-grade zinc citrate.

The zinc citrate market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.82 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing focus on preventive healthcare, rising demand for clean-label supplements, expansion of fortified food products, growing adoption in clinical nutrition, increasing regulatory emphasis on mineral purity. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing use of bioavailable zinc supplements, rising demand for pharmaceutical-grade zinc citrate, growing application in functional foods, expansion of zinc-based personal care formulations, enhanced focus on traceability and quality compliance.

Increasing demand from the pharmaceutical industry is expected to propel the growth of the zinc citrate market. The pharmaceutical industry involves the development, production, and discovery of medical drugs. Zinc citrate has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects and is beneficial in dental care products such as mouthwashes, chewing gum, and toothpaste. It also helps reduce the common cold, making it a valuable component in pharmaceutical drugs. For instance, in 2024, according to Biospace, a U.S.-based pharmaceuticals online platform, global biopharma research and development (R&D) funding rose to US$72 billion in 2023, up from US$61 billion in 2022. Therefore, increasing demand from the pharmaceutical industry is driving the growth of the zinc citrate market.

The growing health awareness is also expected to propel the growth of the zinc citrate market. Health awareness refers to the level of knowledge, consciousness, and understanding that individuals, communities, or societies have about health-related issues, practices, and risks. As consumers become more health-conscious and aware of the potential benefits of zinc, they increasingly seek dietary supplements and products containing zinc citrate to support overall well-being. This increased awareness drives demand in the dietary supplement industry. For instance, in July 2023, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), a UK-based national statistical institute, more than 86% of adults in Great Britain reported adjusting their lifestyle in some way to address health and environmental concerns. Therefore, growing health awareness is driving the growth of the zinc citrate market.

Major companies operating in the zinc citrate market are innovating new products, such as high-mineral-content formulations that allow effective zinc supplementation in compact doses, minimizing tablet or gummy size while ensuring optimal bioavailability. High mineral content refers to the percentage of elemental zinc present in the compound by weight, indicating how much actual zinc the salt delivers per gram. For instance, in July 2025, Jungbunzlauer, a Switzerland-based specialty ingredients company, launched a gummy supplement solution featuring zinc and calcium citrates as part of its organic mineral salt portfolio. The product is designed to provide high bioavailability and a neutral taste in chewable supplements while supporting functional formulations. Additionally, this innovation offers smooth texture and efficient mineral delivery without compromising product stability or sensory quality.
