Zinc, lead, and other non-ferrous metal products—including nickel, manganese, chromium, and specialized alloys—are widely used in industries such as battery manufacturing, metal coating, alloy production, automotive, and chemical industries. They form a vital part of Iran’s industrial supply chain.

Iran possesses rich reserves of zinc and lead, particularly in provinces like Zanjan, Kerman, and Yazd. These metals are processed using flotation, smelting, and electrolytic refining methods, enabling the production of high-purity ingots that meet international standards.

These metals have high added value and play a significant role in Iran’s non-oil exports, job creation in mining regions, and in supplying raw materials for various downstream industries. Their stable global demand and favorable prices present strong profitability opportunities.

Iran is one of the major regional exporters of zinc and lead ingots, supplying markets in India, China, Turkey, Arab countries, and parts of Europe. Competitive pricing, consistent quality, and access to rich mineral resources enhance the global appeal of Iranian products.

Iran’s competitive advantages include abundant mineral reserves, low-cost energy, skilled labor, and a strategic geographic position. By upgrading technology, improving product quality, and expanding industrial applications, Iran can further strengthen its position in global non-ferrous metals markets.
