Market Share by Application

Adhesives and sealants occupy a sizeable portion of the global pine chemicals market share as pine-based chemicals are essential raw materials in their manufacturing. Rosin and tall oil products provide excellent strength and tackiness to adhesives to improve their longevity. Tall oil resins can also be combined with other polymers to increase the flexibility and performance of adhesives and sealants. Moreover, rosin-based products can be implemented in pressure-based adhesives to provide advanced tackiness and in acrylic adhesives to enhance their adhesion and wetting properties.

Market Share by Region

As per the regional pine chemicals market analysis, North America accounts for a substantial share of the global market due to the growing presence of several players in the region who are implementing innovative measures to stay ahead of their competitors. Furthermore, the abundance of pine trees in the region due to the optimal climate makes it easier for the players to extract and manufacture pine chemicals. Additionally, the growth of several end-use sectors such as coatings and biofuels is expected to provide lucrative opportunities to the market in the coming years.
