Die casting is the second largest consumer of zinc at approximately 17%, followed by Zinc metal in alloying (brass), Zinc chemicals (fertilizers, skin products, etc.), and rolled Zinc (pennies, etc.). Zinc prices are therefore very dependent on the industries that use Zinc coated steel such as the automotive and construction.
