DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Global Zinc Long-Term Outlook Q1 2018" report from Wood Mackenzie has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
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.
