Middle East & Africa lignin market outlook
The databook is designed to serve as a comprehensive guide to navigating this sector. The databook focuses on market statistics denoted in the form of revenue and y-o-y growth and CAGR across the globe and regions. A detailed competitive and opportunity analyses related to lignin market will help companies and investors design strategic landscapes.
Ligno-sulphonates was the largest segment with a revenue share of 81.84% in 2024. Horizon Databook has segmented the Middle East & Africa lignin market based on ligno-sulphonates, kraft, organosolv, hydrolyzed, soda covering the revenue growth of each sub-segment from 2018 to 2030.
Governments in the Middle East are focusing on reducing their reliance on the domestic upstream energy sector. They have laid down various policies to support the development of the chemical, automotive, and construction industries. Cement industry in the Middle East is expected to increase cement production within the region and thus is likely to fuel lignin demand as an additive over the forecast period.
However, expansion of refining capacity in the Middle East, particularly in Saudi Arabia and Oman, is expected to increase the inventories of petrochemical feedstock for aromatics production. As a result, the refining expansion is expected to have a negative impact on the lignin market in the near future. MEA lignin market is dominated by lignosulfonates both in terms of volume and revenue and is expected to grow at a steady pace.
However, high-grade lignin is expected to witness growth owing to its demand for manufacturing improved concrete admixtures, binders & adhesives, carbon fibers, activated carbon, and other products. Growing focus on the expansion of refining capacity in MEA is expected to fuel the demand for petrochemicals, which might hamper the lignin market on account of a lack of promotion for biorefineries and the bio-polymer industry.
