Austin, Sept. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As per the SNS Insider research, The Lignin Market Size was valued at USD 1.10 billion in 2023, and is expected to reach USD 1.60 billion by 2032, and grow at a CAGR of 4.3% over the forecast period 2024-2032.
The dynamics and growth of the lignin market have been very conspicuous of late, driven by increased environmental awareness and improved technological developments. Just recently, in 2022, it was announced that BASF, the international chemical company, is partnering with UC Riverside in California to create new lignin-based materials for sustainable packaging. This further goes to prove a growing interest in lignin as a renewable resource across industries. Also, a startup named LigninTech claimed another breakthrough in lignin processing as of 2023, having just come up with new technology that increases the efficiency in extracting lignin from wood biomass. This innovation could potentially decrease production costs and boost the market applications for lignin-based products. Another key development was the announcement made by Stora Enso, a leading paper and pulp company, to invest €50 million in a new lignin plant in Finland for producing high-quality lignin derivatives intended for adhesives and composites. With this increasing investment, demand for the product in many industrial applications is growing.

Several dynamics drive the lignin market. The growing pressure from environmental regulations and the demand for sustainable and bio-based products open huge potential for the growth of lignin. As a natural polymer extracted in large amounts during biomass processing, lignin can be considered a renewable resource versus oil-related products, particularly for use in the building, automotive, and consumer goods sectors. The move toward green chemistry and sustainable manufacturing processes accelerated the development of lignin-based products—from biofuels to advanced materials. Furthermore, increasing demand for lignin to manufacture value-added chemicals and replace other conventional raw materials has boosted the market growth.

Segment Analysis
In 2023, the Lignosulfonates segment is projected to capture a share of approximately 47% in the lignin market, due to massive uses of the product in many applications, including concrete admixtures and agricultural products. For example, companies like **BASF** and Metsa Group introduced lignosulfonates into concrete compositions to improve workability and durability, while Borregaard uses them as pellet binders in animal feed, which is an application that demonstrates their versatility at work with great efficiency. All this underpinned the leading position held by the lignosulfonates market in the industries, thanks to its very well-established production processes and a broad range of applications.
Lignin Nanoparticles: Nature's Solution for Sustainable Sun Protection
Lignin is a nonlinear complex natural polymer from plants that is currently under consideration by researchers as an efficient, environmentally friendly ingredient in sun protection. The nonspherical lignin nanoparticles could be nontoxic options that replace traditional UV filters blamed for environmental and health problems. Such nanoparticles can absorb UV radiation and improve the photostability of sunscreens with reduced risks based on chemical filters. Moreover, it is abundant, renewable, and biodegradable and thus can be a promising eco-friendly option for cosmetic formulations in the future years.
