Rising Number of Construction Projects to Augment Lignin Market in North America

From a geographical perspective, North America is estimated to lead the global lignin market and account for a share of 33.50% by the end of 2023. The use of lignin as a dispersant in concrete additives in the building and construction industry is the primary factor encouraging the growth of the lignin market in North America. However, the increasing inclination towards green buildings is projected to hamper the growth of the market in the coming few years. Meanwhile, Europe is expected to remain in the second position and register a sluggish growth throughout the forecast period.

On the basis of application, the concrete additive segment is expected to lead the global lignin market with a share of 46.60% by the end of 2023. The growing demand for concrete additives for infrastructure development, especially from developed nations is accelerating the growth of this segment in the coming years, says a TMR analyst. On the other hand, dye stuff and animal feed are expected to witness significant growth throughout the forecast period.

Increasing Application of Lignin to Presents Promising Future

The use of lignin in diverse niche applications is the key factor fuelling the growth of the lignin market across the globe. Several properties offered by different types of lignin are expected to drive the demand in the forecast period, says a TMR analyst. The rising demand for lignin from emerging nations, owing to the industrial developments in these regions is estimated to generate promising opportunities for market players.

Furthermore, the rising use of lignin in the agriculture sector as a slow release fertilizer is expected to encourage the growth of the global lignin market. Moreover, the rising focus on research and development activities and the innovative use of lignin in diverse industries are projected to supplement market’s growth in the near future.
