Pine-Derived Chemicals Market: Global Industry Analysis, Market Size, Trends, and Forecast up to 2023

Global pine-derived chemicals market is expected to grow at a CAGR between 4.5% and 5% over the period of 2017 – 2023. Pine derived chemicals are bio-based renewable chemicals extracted from pine trees, by wood carbonization or oleoresin distillation processes. Charcoal, creosote, essential oils, methanol, medicinals, phenol, tannin and some other products are obtained by wood carbonization process. Chipping or Kraft pulping process is utilized for extracting the discharged oleoresin from pine trees. For distillation process gums, logs, stumps and byproducts of sulphate pulp are used. Gum rosin, wood rosin, gum turpentine, crude tall oil and some other products are obtained by that process. Pine derived chemicals find applications in various industries for the manufacturing of adhesives, asphalt, cement, coatings, concrete, detergents, fragrances, food additives, detergents, disinfectants, paints, paper, printing inks,rubber products, soaps, vitamins and some others. Pine derived chemicals have good prospects as bio-based alternative for some of the petroleum based chemicals, due to the government regulations that restrict the use of conventional chemicals, which harm the nature and people.

Market Insights

Mergers and acquisitions, technological partnerships, joint-ventures and heavy investments in research and development, to tap the potential of pine derived chemicals, as an eco-friendly alternative to conventional chemicals , characterizes the global pine derived chemicals market. Increasing health awareness among consumers and need for improving carbon footprint in various industries drive the demand for natural raw materials. As bio-based natural chemicals, with less emission of harmful gases, pine derived chemicals generate more demand, as an alternative for petroleum based chemicals. The stringent governmental regulations regarding the use of chemicals with toxic emission is prompting many industries to adopt eco-friendly pine derived chemicals and it is driving the growth of the global pine derived chemicals. Increasing cultivation of pine trees in major regions drives the demand for pine derived chemicals in sectors such as food, cosmetic and seed additives, due to the increasing preference for natural chemicals. Low manufacturing cost, innovations and advanced technologies drive the demand for tall oil fatty acids, as it has wider applications in industrial sectors such as adhesives, ink, paper, rubber, paint and coatings and some others. Paint and coatings segment is having a dominant market share in the pine derived chemicals market, due to the changing lifestyles, preference for eco-friendly products and stringent environmental regulations. Gum rosin segment is anticipated to attain the highest growth in terms of CAGR in the global pine derived chemicals market during the forecast period 2017-2023.

Pine trees grow in specific regions with favourable environmental conditions only, hence the industry relies heavily on those regions for supply, and it is a restraint for the global pine derived chemicals market. Limited availability of pine trees is also a major challenge for the major players in the global pine derived chemicals market, as they have to keep optimum stock levels to meet their production demands. However, the increasing demand for natural ingredients and bio-based chemicals is expected to provide huge opportunities for the major players, to expand their production capacities, during the forecast period.
