# Zinc — who supplies the world World zinc mine production: 13 Mt in the 2025 USGS estimate. China leads with 32%; the top three hold 52%. Every producer's sourced share. Canonical: https://terralore.co/commodities/zinc Updated: 2026-08-14 (USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries edition) What is measured: the MCS statistics row "Mine production" — mine production in tonnes, what left mines in each calendar year. Not reserves in the ground, and not refined or smelted output. 2025 is the USGS estimate; 2024 is the reported figure. World total: 13 Mt (2025 est.) · 12 Mt (2024). Shares are computed against the published world total itself, never against the sum of listed producers. ## Producers (10 listed) | Rank | Nation | 2024 | 2025 est. | |---|---|---|---| | 1 | China | 4.0 Mt · 34% | 4.1 Mt · 32% | | 2 | Peru | 1.3 Mt · 11% | 1.5 Mt · 12% | | 3 | Australia | 1.1 Mt · 9.2% | 1.1 Mt · 8.5% | | 4 | India | 866 kt · 7.3% | 870 kt · 6.7% | | 5 | Mexico | 773 kt · 6.5% | 780 kt · 6.0% | | 6 | United States | 759 kt · 6.4% | 670 kt · 5.2% | | 7 | Bolivia | 512 kt · 4.3% | 500 kt · 3.8% | | 8 | Russia | 310 kt · 2.6% | 430 kt · 3.3% | | 9 | Kazakhstan | 375 kt · 3.2% | 360 kt · 2.8% | | 10 | Sweden | 239 kt · 2.0% | 230 kt · 1.8% | | — | Rest of world | 1.7 Mt · 14% | 2.5 Mt · 19% | Rest of world is the published world total minus the producers listed: the MCS "Other countries" aggregate, withheld figures, and production this atlas does not file under a separate entity.
