Tall Oil Rosin Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2022 - 2027)

The Global Tall Oil Rosin Market is projected to register a CAGR of less than 5% during the forecast period (2022-2027).

COVID-19 negatively impacted the market in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the tall oil rosin market because of the global slowdown of the world economy. During the pandemic, many factories responsible for raw material production, mainly crude tall oil, for tall oil rosin were shut down. There was also lower demand for pine chemicals and sectors like printing, paper & pulp industries are on temporary hold. In the printing industries, tall oil rosin is used as a rubber emulsifier to increase alkyd resin coatings' strength and gloss. Also, it is used as binders, emulsifiers, and sealants. Due to such various applications, the demand for tall oil rosin is increasing.
