Global Lignin Products Market - Market Segmentation and Analysis 2017-2022 - Research and Markets

The "Global Lignin Products Market - Segmented By Product Type, Source, Application, And Geography - Trends And Forecasts 2017 - 2022" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

The global animal feed additives industry is expected to grow at the CAGR of around 4% during the forecast period 2016-2021. Thus, the increasing demand for animal feed additives, owing to increasing livestock population (because of rising meat consumption) and growing livestock disease outbreak, is expected to drive the lignin market from 2016 to 2021.

The total worldwide kraft pulp production is 130 million ton/yr. There is an estimated 70 million tons of lignin available from pulping processes worldwide, but much of this is not isolated but burned onsite to provide steam for heat and power production. The global production of isolated lignin for ligno-sulphonate production is currently around 1.3 million tons. The market is mature and growing slowly. A total 1 million tons is derived from the acid sulphite pulping process. The remaining 104,000 tons is derived from the kraft pulping process.

Lignin is predominately burnt in a chemical recovery process where it is an integral part of the paper and board manufacturing industries. As a result, less than 2% of the available lignin is isolated and sold, primarily in the formulation of dispersants, adhesives and surfactants. However, lignin-based product development is essential under the bio-refinery concept as aging pulp and paper mills need to diversify their products portfolio to maintain existence and the emerging biofuel/bioenergy technologies need to develop value-added co-products from lignin and bio-oil as a means of making the processes more cost effective.

Globally, lignin market was highly concentrated, with top ten players accounting for over 90% share of the global market in 2015. The lignin market is highly concentrated, with top five players accounting for more than 85% share of the global market in 2015.
