In 2023, zinc mine production in the US stood at 864 thousand metric tons. Forecasted data suggests a steady increase over the subsequent years with year-on-year growth rates gradually rising. Between 2024 and 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is anticipated to be moderate, reflecting consistent output expansion.
Looking ahead, key trends to watch include potential supply chain disruptions, technological advancements in mining processes, regulatory changes, and shifts in global demand affecting US production. Additionally, sustainability and environmental considerations might influence operational strategies and production levels.
