Zinc Pyrithione Market – Global Industry Analysis Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2016 – 2024

2. Zinc Pyrithione Market – Global Industry Analysis Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2016 – 2024 Pyrithione is also known as 1-Hydroxy-2-pyridinethione, 2-pyridinethiol-1-oxide, 2-mercaptopyridine-N-oxide, pyridine-2-thione-N-oxide, pyridinethione-N-oxide, 2-pyridinethione, pyridinethione, or basically, PT. It has been distinguished for its fungicidal and bactericidal activities. Pyrithione is an organic chemical that is used in various forms as an industrial biocide. It has been predominantly employed as an antifouling agent in marine ships for several decades.

Zinc pyrithione is a well-known antimicrobial material with prevalent use in antidandruff shampoos, followed by antifouling paints. Mechanism of its antimicrobial action is unstated, despite decades of commercial use. Research and development activities are being carried out in order to illustrate the activity of zinc pyrithione against Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Research models, which depict that pyrithione acts as a copper ionophore, have been presented.

Pyrithione enables copper to enter cells and dispense across intracellular membranes.

Therefore, increase in personal hygiene and consumer expenditure is expected to drive the global zinc pyrithione market. Moreover, the ban on tributyl-tin is anticipated to provide lucrative growth opportunities for the market for other booster biocides, primarily zinc pyrithione. Zinc pyrithione is projected to replace tri-butyl-tin, which is widely used in antifouling paints, primarily for pleasure crafts/boats in some of the Nordic countries.

Zinc Pyrithione Market: Segmentation Based on type, the zinc pyrithione market can be segmented into: 

Liquid zinc pyrithione



Solid zinc pyrithione

Zinc pyrithione is basically a crystalline solid but is commercially available in powder form and as a liquid dispersion. Powder form is considered to be difficult to handle, as it can generate dust during dosing and mixing processes.

Therefore, powder form of zinc pyrithione possibly necessitates complex and expensive dust-handling equipment. Liquid dispersions are easier to handle; however, they experience complexities in storing, processing, and shipping.

Personal care products (anti-dandruff shampoos, cosmetics, etc.)



Paints



Biocides (disinfectants, pest control products)



Laboratory chemicals

Zinc pyrithione, in its powder form, is largely used in hair care products. It acts as an anti-dandruff additive in shampoos and conditioners. It has antibacterial properties and hence, it is effective against several pathogens such as Staphylococcus and Streptococcus. Zinc pyrithione is also employed in the treatment of ringworm, psoriasis, eczema, athlete’s foot, dry skin, vitiligo, atopic dermatitis, and tinea.

Furthermore, it is used as an anti-fungal agent in water-based paints and coatings. Zinc pyrithione is added along with pigments and fillers during the initial stages of a paint manufacturing process. It is also an effective algaecide.
