Global Tall Oil Rosin Market Size, Share, Opportunities, COVID-19 Impact, And Trends By Application (Printing Ink, Rubber, Adhesive, Paper Sizing), And By Geography - Forecasts From 2023 To 2028

The tall oil rosin market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.29% from an initial value of US$608.310 million in 2021 to US$872.690 million in 2028.

Tall oil rosin is primarily provided by pulp mills and is a by-product of commercially significant Kraft pulping. As a by-product of treating pine wood, crude oil is produced. This oil is further distilled to produce tall oil rosin. Tall oil rosin as a component is used in adhesives, inks, and rubbers to improve their quality. Also, as an emulsifier, it is used in asphalt during road construction, whereas in the paper industry, it is used for sizing paper.

The growing paper and pulp industry across the globe is expected to drive considerable demand in the market.

One of the most significant drivers of tall oil rosin is in the paper and pulp industry as it is used in the paper sizing process. It is also added to paper pulp to bolster its resistance against liquids like water. According to data from the Food and Agricultural Organization, there were roughly 401 million metric tons of paper and paperboard produced on a global scale in 2020. Further, according to a report from the Chinese Bureau of Statistics released in January 2021, paper and paper product manufacturers in China were estimated to have generated a revenue of RMB 1.3 trillion in 2020, displaying an annual growth of about 21.2%. Such an increasing trend in the paper industry is thus expected to reflect a growth in demand in the tall oil rosin market as well, thereby posing a lucrative future for the market. Thus, the increasing production of paper and paperboard is also likely to drive the demand for tall oil rosin, which is expected to drive the market throughout the forecasted period.

Adding to that, the demand in the market is expected to be met owing to the numerous players operating in the market like Forchem Oyj, AOM and Ingevity, among others. These players have a wide variety of product offerings, which will keep the demand in check and will most likely hold the market in good stead. For instance, tall oil rosins are offered by Forchem Oyj, one of the top businesses involved in the supply of various tall oil derivatives and goods, including distilled tall oil and tall oil fatty acids. The "TOR FOR85" and "TOR FOR90" are two different kinds of tall oil rosins that are offered by the company.

The surging demand for these tall oil rosins has also caused a surge in their prices.

Ingevity Corporation declared a general price rise for rosin-based resins used in its industrial specialities catalogue as well as tall oil fatty acid (TOFA) and distilled tall oil products and derivatives in September 2022. Further, Prices across all of Kraton Corp's crude tall oil refinery goods and derivatives were raised by 10 to 15% in September 2021.

Key Developments

• In May 2021, Ingevity Corporation announced the launch of its new rosin ester product, Altatac™ RT-40, which is derived from tall oil rosin and is designed for use in a wide range of printing ink applications.
• In January 2020, Kraton Corporation launched SYLVALITE™ 9000 tall oil rosin ester, a renewable and sustainable product designed for use in printing ink formulations. This product is made from sustainable, bio-based materials and offers excellent adhesion, low odour, and superior printability.
• In November 2021, Eastman Chemical Company launched its new Eastotac™ C-100A hydrocarbon tackifier, which is based on tall oil rosin and is designed for use in printing inks, adhesives, and other applications.

By application, tall oil rosin is a renewable and sustainable resource, and its use in printing ink formulations offers several eco-friendly benefits.

Tall oil rosin is biodegradable, which means that it breaks down naturally in the environment without causing harm to ecosystems. This makes it a sustainable alternative to synthetic resins and other petrochemical-based products that can be harmful to the environment. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are a major contributor to air pollution and can have harmful effects on human health. Tall oil rosin has low VOC emissions. It is also an eco-friendly choice for ink manufacturers as it helps reduce the environmental impact of their products. The use of sustainable and eco-friendly products has become increasingly important to consumers and businesses alike. Using tall oil rosin in printing ink formulations can improve the sustainability credentials of printed products and help to meet the growing demand for environmentally responsible products.

North America is projected to constitute a significant market share.

The market, based on geography, is segmented into North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific. North America's tall oil rosin market is expected to grow owing to the growing end-use application of tall oil rosin in paper, rubber, inks, and adhesives. The market is classified into the United States, Canada, and Mexico in which the United States is projected to dominate the market. The United States is one of the major producers of paper and paper products such as containerboard and the country is experiencing a significant increase in its production scale owing to the growing print media and high demand from institutions. For instance, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization’s “Pulp and Paper Capacity Annual Survey” in 2021, paper and pulp production in the United States stood at 68.17 million tonnes which represented a 2.1% increase over 66.76 million tonnes produced in 2020.
