Lignin Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Product (Ligno-sulphonates, Kraft, Organosolv, Others), By Application (Macromolecule, Aromatic, Others) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Lignin is a class of organic polymers that form the prime structural material in the supporting tissues of vascular plants and algae. They are particularly significant in formation of cell walls in wood and barks. Chemically, lignins are cross-linked phenolic polymers with molecular mass more than 10000 unified amu. It is hydrophobic in nature and rich in aromatic subunits.

Increasing demand for lignin in animal feed due to its nutritional content is expected to drive the market. It is used in production of macromolecules used in the development of bitumen, bio-refinery catalysts, and biofuels and is expected to support the market growth. Additionally, increasing demand for concrete admixtures, adhesives and binders in infrastructure is expected to boost the market growth.

However, lack of awareness in consumers about lignin and lignin products is expected to hinder the market growth.
