Organic Binder Market Size, Share, Opportunities, And Trends By Binder Type (Resins, Wax, Gums, Shellac), By Application (Paints & Coatings, Construction, Food & Agriculture, Pharmaceutical, Printing & Packaging, Others), And By Geography- Forecasts From 2025 To 2030

Organic Binder Market Scope:

The organic binder market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4.27% to attain a market size of US$10,951.957 million by 2030, from US$8,884.346 million in 2025.

Organic binders are biodegradable and, hence, are considered environmentally safe. The growing trend for the adoption of green materials is driving the demand for organic binders in several end-user industry verticals. Organic binders, based on binder type, are segregated into resins, gums, waxes, and others utilized in various end-use industries worldwide. Hence, the immense potential application of organic binder, especially for adhesion and cohesion, is further augmenting the demand in the forecast period. Furthermore, the growing food and agriculture industry is propelling market expansion along with the rising global demand for food, and thus, prolonging their shelf-life is important. The growing leather industry is further driving the global organic binder market growth over the next five years.

What are the drivers of the organic binder market?

• Growing Demand for Sustainable Construction

With technological advancements, organic binders have significant market potential by introducing green building materials, promoting sustainable construction, and contributing to a lower carbon footprint. The growing construction industry worldwide, urbanization, and economic growth are further fueling the market demand in the forecast period. 

With rapid urbanization shaping the global economy, significant efforts are being made to provide effective infrastructural services for construction to be carried out sustainably. The growing development of smart cities and green building solutions are offering better growth prospects for the market to thrive in the forecast period.

• Rising Demand in Food Industry

The food & beverage industry worldwide is growing at 5% y-o-y growth approximately. Consumers worldwide' expenditure on food products is expected to surge to around USD20 trillion by the end of 2030 (source: The New Zealand Institute for Plant & Food Research). The market for organic binders is projected to grow during the forecast period with the rising trend for healthy, convenient, natural, and sustainable food products among a wide range of customers worldwide.

Functional foods are gaining traction owing to their ability to provide benefits beyond basic nutrition, and they are considered among the fastest-growing segments in the food industry worldwide. Major markets for health foods include Japan, the United States, and Europe. Additionally, New Zealand, from the Oceania region, holds a high reputation for producing high-quality food products that are eco-friendly and sustainable. The region offers good prospects for the organic binder market to grow significantly as the food sector in New Zealand produces more than sufficient food to feed its population.

• Growing Utilization in the Pharmaceutical Industry

The total spending and global demand for medicines will increase over the next five years to approximately $1.9 trillion by 2027. The growth is majorly attributed to the development and manufacturing of novel drugs worldwide, which is fueling the market demand in the forecast period. Furthermore, the growing chronic disease prevalence, increasing incidences of cancer and rare diseases, and surging demand for precision or personalized medicine are further augmenting the market. The increase in the lifespans of individuals and changing living conditions have created a need for the development of medicines or drugs that are quite effective and positively influence the health of individuals, hence contributing to enhancing their economic productivity. In addition, advancements in medicine have helped protect against many deadly diseases.

Moreover, effective drug therapy has become an integral part of healthcare, focusing on revolutionizing non-communicable diseases. The growing geriatric population is soaring the demand for effective medicines, driving the pharma industry’s expansion in the forecast period. As stated by the World Health Organization, by 2030, 1 in 6 people will be 60 years or older. At the same time, the share of the population aged 60 years and over will increase from 1 billion in 2020 to 1.4 billion.

The market is poised to grow during the forecast period as many people in this category are either suffering from age-associated chronic diseases or diseases due to the adoption of an unhealthy lifestyle at a young age. In addition, with declining fertility rates and increasing life expectancy at birth, global aging is continuing to accelerate, creating a demand for targeted and efficient drugs, when required, in addition to other treatment drugs. This has led to an overall improvement, as these drugs are effective in enhancing the quality of life, which, in turn, is driving market growth during the forecast period.

Major challenges hindering the growth of the organic binder market:

While promising, the organic binder market has several challenges. One major challenge is that organic binders cost more than their inorganic counterparts. This cost gap could limit its usage, especially in cost-sensitive applications such as construction and manufacturing. Organic binders' long-term durability and performance, especially in harsh environments, can also create apprehension towards their wider adoption. 

Ensuring consistent quality and performance is difficult because of such factors as raw material variability and manufacturing processes. Furthermore, the complex regulatory environment surrounding the use of organic binders, especially environmental impact and safety, adds to the challenges faced by the industry.

Organic binder market geographical outlook:

• The organic binder market is segmented into five regions worldwide

Geography-wise, the market of organic binders is divided into North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific. Due to the early adoption of technology, North America and Europe are expected to hold a significant market share.  In addition, with high disposable income, the citizens in these regions can spend on high-quality products containing organic binders. 

The Asia Pacific region is expected to be the fastest-growing region with the expanding construction industry, growing urbanization, and the introduction of sustainable technologies. According to the American Institute of Architects, AIA Shanghai, by 2025, China will have constructed the equivalent of ten New York-size cities. The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, MOHURD has published a notice to implement urban renewal actions in 2020 according to China's 14th Five-Year Plan. Even though China's urbanization rate stood at 64.7% in 2022, the government is developing its urban regeneration program for greener and more efficient cities to enhance urban living conditions.

Organic binder market key developments: 

• In December 2023, Trinseo, a specialty materials solutions provider, launched LIGOS™ BH 7340 SCE Binder, the Company's compostable first bio-hybrid binder for use in coated paper board products.
