Kraft lignin is a kind of lignin created through the kraft sulfate cooking process. It is an emerging product market of lignin. Kraft lignin or sulfate lignin are exist in a by-product stream of the kraft pulping procedure referred to as black liquor. The commercial kraft lignins are commonly sold in the form of sulfonated or as lignin amines. Its key parts are likely to be used in low-quality applications such as the production of process steam and energy. The key factor driving the kraft lignin market studied is the rising demand for carbon fibers which are most popularly used in specialized, high-performance products. The execution of industry growth and the advanced pace of industrialization and urbanization are projected to promote kraft lignin market growth in the coming years. Moreover, kraft lignin has a major application in fertilizers & pesticides, and increasing demand for activated charcoal are few other factors likely to augment the kraft lignin market growth. On the other, higher cost of processing and dearth of awareness-restriction are the factors likely to hamper the market growth. The Kraft Lignin Market is projected to grow at the rate of 8% CAGR by 2027.

The real-time assessment of the market is an integral part of our market sizing and forecasting methodology. Our industry experts and panel of primary participants have helped in compiling relevant aspects with realistic parametric estimations for a comprehensive study. The participation share of different categories of primary participants is given below:

Kraft Lignin Market

Kraft Lignin Market on the basis of Types

  • Softwood Kraft Lignin
  • Hardwood Kraft Lignin

Kraft Lignin Market on the basis of Application

  • Fertilizers & Pesticides
  • Polymers/Plastics
  • Binders & Resins
  • Phenol & Derivatives
  • Activated carbon
  • Carbon fibers
  • Other Applications

Kraft Lignin Market on the basis of Geography

  • North America
  • Europe
  • Asia Pacific
  • Rest of the World

On the basis of types, the kraft lignin market is bifurcated into Softwood Kraft Lignin and Hardwood Kraft Lignin. The software kraft lignin segment is projected to have the highest share in the market. This is because softwood kraft lignin is a sustainable woody material that can be changed to value-added products, such as an additive for paper strength in the paper industry. In addition, the utilization of softwood kraft lignin as adhesive in the production of reconstituted wood is also a factor to augment the segment growth.

Further, on the basis of application, the kraft lignin market is divided into Fertilizers & Pesticides, Polymers/Plastics, Binders & Resins, Phenol & Derivatives, Activated carbon, Carbon fibers, and Other Applications. The segment of ‘Fertilizers & Pesticides’ holds the highest market share in the kraft lignin market since industrial lignin is a perfect raw material for multiple agricultural products such as making slow/controlled-release fertilizers, soil amendment/ soil improvement agents, film mulching/liquid plastic films, and antiseptics for agricultural fields. Slow/controlled release fertilizers are a product that can prominently increase crop yield and quality, improve fertilizer use efficiency, and minimize the eutrophication of water bodies and surfaces owing to the nitrogen loss from the field.

Further based on the geography, North America dominated the kraft Lignin Products market. Hence, North America is the major producer of kraft lignin products, prominently dominated by Canada and the United States. Due to the requirement of reducing dependence on fossil sources, a change in industry preference to biobased products is projected to continue as a key driver for kraft lignin products market growth in the region during the forecast period.

Activated carbons are globally used industrial adsorbents in the deodorization process and purification for process streams. It is also used in liquid and gaseous effluents treatment. Activated carbon, also referred to as activated charcoal, is a form of carbon processed to have small, less-volume pores, which enhances the surface area available for adsorption or chemical reactions. Activated is sometimes swapped with active. Kraft lignin can be changed into activated carbon by physical or chemical activation. The chemical activation at high temperatures provides higher product yields. Thus, the rising consumption of activated carbon has enhanced market growth.

The report of the kraft lignin market consists of profiles of the key vendors - Resolute Forest Product, Rayonier Advanced Material, Nippon Paper Industry Co. Ltd, Domtar Corporation, Upm Biochemicals, Innventia Group, Stora Enso, Borregaard Lignotech, West Fraser, and Weyerhaeuser Company.

Henceforth, the recent studies show that kraft lignin can be used as lignosulfonates and dispersants, transportation fuels, technical carbons, bioplastics, and adhesives, but few technological hindrances must be overcome, and various industrial tests must be developed to make these uses viable.
