With the growing demand for chemical-free food, green zinc oxide nanoparticle consumption is increasing as it is a safe alternative to conventional chemical methods. Zinc oxide nanoparticles are effective for germination and the development of plants. It also helps boost the growth rate of stem and roots without extracting soil nutrients. The demand for green zinc oxide nanoparticles is gradually increasing due to their soil reviving properties and increased crop yield.
In addition, various government initiatives to support green and sustainable agriculture provide lucrative opportunities to manufacturers of zinc oxide nanoparticles. For instance, the Government of India introduced several programs, such as National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture (NMSA), Soil Health Card (SHC), and Mission Organic for Value Chain Development for Northeast (MOVCD), to promote green agriculture across the country. Green zinc oxide nanoparticles are quite safe and eco-friendly compared to chemical synthesis; hence farmers across the region are gradually adopting nanoparticles. The Asia Pacific zinc oxide market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
