The Asia Pacific Lignosulfonates Market would witness market growth of 4.0% CAGR during the forecast period (2024-2031). In the year 2022, the Asia Pacific market's volume surged to 505.84 kilo tonnes, showcasing a growth of 21.5 % (2020-2023).
Calcium lignosulfonate is a by-product derived from the sulfite pulping process in the paper and pulp industry, specifically from lignin, a natural polymer found in wood. It is a water-soluble, anionic polymer that finds widespread use as a dispersant, binder, and stabilizer in various industries. Thus, the China market is expected to utilize 65.49 kilo tonnes of Calcium lignosulfonate by 2031.
The China market dominated the Asia Pacific Lignosulfonates Market by Country in 2023, and would continue to be a dominant market till 2031; thereby, achieving a market value of $125.7 Million by 2031. The Japan market is showcasing a CAGR of 3.6% during (2024 - 2031). Additionally, The India market would register a CAGR of 4.3% during (2024 - 2031).
lignosulfonates act as plasticizers, binders, and deflocculants in ceramic processing, enabling better shaping, molding, and firing characteristics while reducing defects and energy consumption. Lignosulfonates act as deflocculants in ceramic processing by dispersing and suspending ceramic particles in aqueous solutions or slips, thereby reducing viscosity and improving flow properties.
Moreover, by electrostatically repelling charged clay particles and preventing agglomeration or flocculation, lignosulfonates help maintain uniform particle dispersion and distribution in ceramic slurries, facilitating better homogeneity and consistency in casting, slip casting, or extrusion processes.
The Indian government has established regulatory frameworks and safety standards for animal feed additives to ensure product quality and consumer safety. Lignosulfonates have received regulatory approvals for animal feed formulations, providing assurance of their safety and efficacy. This regulatory support facilitates the adoption of lignosulfonates by Indian livestock producers and feed manufacturers. As per the data provided in 2023 by Invest India, the Indian animal feed sector grew at a 3.5% growth rate over the last 5 years.
