About This Dataset
Countries by Zinc Mine Production 2024
Countries ranked by total zinc mine production in 2024, measured in thousands of metric tons according to the US Geological Survey. China is the world's largest zinc producer by a significant margin — with its dominant mining operations supplying both its own massive galvanising and die-casting industries and global export markets. Zinc's primary use in steel galvanisation makes its production closely tied to construction and automotive manufacturing output worldwide.
