Global Lignosulfonates Market, Forecast to 2026

Lignin is one of the most abundant organic polymers on earth, exceeded only by cellulose. Cellulose is separated from lignin to make paper and packaging materials, while lignin is much less desired and often burned for fuel. Some lignin is recovered in the form of lignosulfonates, which are used mainly as dispersants.

Lignosulfonates are anionic polymers obtained from the sulfite pulping process of lignosulfonates biomass. Low cost and eco-friendly nature of lignosulfonates have increased popularity of lignosulfonates in numerous applications. These are employed in applications such as agriculture, animal feed, concrete additives, dust control, metallurgy, oil & mining, gypsum board, chemical processing, and others.

The global lignosulfonates (sodium lignosulfonate, calcium lignosulfonate, magnesium lignosulfonate, ammonium lignosulfonate, others) market size was valued at $607.2 million in 2019 and is projected to reach $741.22 million by 2026, registering a CAGR of 2.89% from 2020 to 2026. Growing potential for lignosulfonates in construction and animal feed industry is the chief contributor for the growth of the market. Rising demand for animal protein in developing countries, such as China, has increased the demand for feed products, which in turn is supporting the growth of the lignosulfonates market.
