Tall Oil Rosin Market Analysis

The global tall oil rosin market size reached US$ 524.9 Thousand Tonnes in 2023. By 2032, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 812.9 Thousand Tonnes, at a projected CAGR of 5.00% during 2023-2032.

• The demand for tall oil rosin (TOR) is witnessing growth in the adhesive and sealant industries on account of its better adhesion characteristics and eco-friendly nature. The property benefits of TOR over petroleum-based resins in the production of adhesives include improved tack, bonding strength, and performance of the adhesives. This is likely to lead to growth in global adhesives markets at a CAGR of 5.7% until 2028, thereby propelling further the need for products that are sustainable and biobased. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the bio-based adhesives and sealants market is likely to grow at over 10% per year due to strong regulations and the consumer preference for green products. Its acceptance in the Adhesive industry is, therefore, in consolidation with the general trend of decreasing carbon footprints and maximizing sustainable development. An increased thrust is gathered on account of the increasing investments being made into research and development for performance upliftment characteristics, which enable the use of TOR-based adhesives over a wide range of applications.
• The rubber industry finds a direct relationship with increased TOR-based demand in processing aid and performance improvement. The characteristic benefits of tall oil rosin enhance the elasticity, durability, and resistance to aging of rubber articles; thus, it plays an important role in rubber compounding. The global rubber market was valued at about $40 billion in 2020 and is set to grow at a steady pace, mainly with increasing demand from the automotive and manufacturing sectors. This is substantiated by the European Commission, which states that demand for sustainably sourced and bio-based materials will increase by 8% each year in the rubber industry, reflecting a shift toward more circular and sustainable production processes." This fact, in connection with the position of TOR as one of the essential components in improving product performance and sustainability in rubber products, puts it in a position where its demand is forecasted to rise. This, again, is supported by the increasing regulations and industry standards that push the producers toward the bio-based alternatives like TOR.
• The increasing trend in tall oil rosin is mostly driven by its endless applications in the coatings and inks sector. TOR provides properties for film-forming, gloss generation, and enhancement in durability, features typical of coatings and inks. Increasing use is found in the formulation of better-performing and sustainable paints, varnishes, and printing inks. The global paints and coatings market is expected to exceed $150 billion in 2021 and grow at a 4.3% CAGR through 2028. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), environmentally friendly coatings are expected to grow at 6% annually over the forecast period, driven by stringent environmental regulations and increasing consumer demand for green goods. This, hence, makes TOR a bio-based and renewable material that comes in line with this trend, and as such, it provides manufacturers with a suitable material in making a switch to a sustainability trend instead of using synthetic resins. Also, the trend in improving the modification techniques of TOR further promotes its compatibility and performances in different coating and ink formulations, further stimulating the use of TOR in this industry. The current trend within the coatings and inks industry is a movement toward more sustainable and high-performance materials.

Product Description

Tall oil rosin (TOR) is a multipurpose product that is obtained by distilling crude tall oil, which is a waste product of kraft pulping, which is used to make paper. It is sticky, emulsifying, and binding qualities make it a valuable combination of resin acids, principally abietic acid and its isomers. Tall oil rosin is used in many different sectors, including as soap, rubber, inks, adhesives, and coatings. Compared to petroleum-based resins, it is a more environmentally responsible option due to its natural origin and chemical makeup. TOR increases the tackiness and bonding strength of adhesives and increases the gloss, hardness, and durability of coatings and inks.

Tall oil rosin is an essential component in the creation of soaps and detergents, offering better foaming and cleaning qualities, and it also acts as a processing aid and performance enhancer in rubber compounding. All things considered, Tall Oil Rosin is an essential component with numerous uses and advantageous properties.

Europe Tall Oil Rosin Price

In the first quarter of 2024, tall oil rosin prices in the German market kept going down. Tall Oil Rosin prices in the domestic market were impacted by the continued sluggish demand for the product from the downstream paint and coating as well as the rubber industry. Market sources state that a further significant decline in construction activity was indicated by the German construction Purchasing Manager Index, which fell from 39.1 in February to 38.3 in March 2024. In the meantime, the rate of decline in new orders was reduced, but the combination of high prices, unstable markets, and tight financial circumstances continued to limit demand.
