Lignin Market Dynamics
Driver: Growing Demand For Dust Control
The growing urbanization has increased the demand for dust control techniques. Increasing air pollution has been a growing environmental concern worldwide. It has adversely affected residential, commercial, transport, agricultural, storage, and logistic industries and has resulted in high incidence of respiratory illnesses and accidents due to smog. Rising concern regarding the harmful effect of air pollution is creating substantial growth potential for effective and efficient dust control agents which is positively impacting the lignin market across the globe.
Lignin is gaining wide acceptance in dust control applications owing to its eco-friendly, non-toxic, and non-corrosive nature and excellent effectiveness on gravel roads. Unlike chloride-based solutions, lignin sulfonate-treated roads do not require additional time for the penetration of dust control agent which saves money and time. The environment friendly and economic nature of the product compared to traditionally used dust control solutions is significantly driving demand for lignin in these applications.
Driver: Increasing Lignin Demand In Animal Feed
Lignin has its demand in animal feed industry also as it is used as a natural feed additive to improve animal digestibility. Lignin is commonly added to the feed of monogastric animals for various health benefits. Technology developments are able to alter the genetic composition of lignin to develop better compounds for animal feed. This has allowed producers to make more digestible crops and feed more forage crops to their livestock. Therefore, growth in the animal feed industry is expected drive lignin demand over the forecast period.
Animal feed is witnessing high demand worldwide owing to the rising focus on improving animal health and productivity. The increasing humanization of animals and growth in pet ownership is creating significant growth potential for the animal feed industry. Naturally derived products, such as saponins, tannins, organic acids, essential oils, flavonoids, and lignin, are popular animal feed additives. The ban on the use of antibiotics as animal growth promoters in Europe is another major reason for the growth of lignin demand.
Restraint: Lack Of Efficient And Cost-Effective Methods
The lack of efficient and cost-effective methods for large-scale production and processing of lignin is a major restraining factor of the lignin market. It is challenging to extract lignin from biomass sources and purify it in a form suitable for commercial applications as it is a complex and heterogeneous polymer. It is tightly bound to cellulose and hemicellulose in plant cell walls. Lignin is mostly produced as a by-product of the paper and pulp industry, and the quality and composition of the lignin obtained are highly dependent on the feedstock and the pulping process used. This can result in variability in lignin properties, which can limit its use in certain applications. So, the high cost of lignin production, processing, and transportation can also be a restraining factor for its market growth.

We followed a multi-channel data collection process for lignin market to gather the most reliable and current information possible.
- We buy access to paid databases such as Hoover’s and Factiva for company financials, industry information, white papers, industry journals, SME journals, and more.
- We tap into Grand View’s proprietary database of data points and insights from active and archived monitoring and reporting.
- We conduct primary research with industry experts through questionnaires and one-on-one phone interviews.
- We pull from reliable secondary sources such as white papers and government statistics, published by organizations like WHO, NGOs, World Bank, etc., Key Opinion Leaders (KoL) publications, company filings, investor documents, and more.
- We purchase and review investor analyst reports, broker reports, academic commentary, government quotes, and wealth management publications for insightful third-party perspectives.
Analysis: We mine the data collected to establish baselines for forecasting, identify trends and opportunities, gain insight into consumer demographics and drivers, and so much more. We utilized different methods of lignin market data depending on the type of information we’re trying to uncover in our research.
-
Market Research Efforts: Bottom-up Approach for estimating and forecasting demand size and opportunity, top-down Approach for new product forecasting and penetration, and combined approach of both Bottom-up and Top-down for full coverage analysis.
