List of Tables

The Europe lignin market was valued at US$ 1,76,255.83 thousand in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 2,36,625.58 thousand by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.0% from 2022 to 2028.

Strategic Development Initiatives by Key Market Players

Lignin manufacturers are investing significantly in strategic development initiatives such as product innovation, mergers & acquisitions, and expansion of their businesses to attract a wide customer base and enhance their market position. Moreover, the demand for lignin is increasing among end-use industries due to rising environmental concerns and sustainability issues. For instance, in December 2021, Nippon Paper (Japan) and Stora Enso Oyj (Finland) signed a partnership agreement to use trees to revolutionize the battery industry. Their research focused on the replacement of lithium-ion and rare-metal batteries with lignin. Similarly, in January 2023, Lignovations, an Austria-based company that develops natural functional ingredients from lignin, developed LignoGuard, a multifunctional ingredient produced from woodchips, sawdust, and low-quality hardwood. The product aids in reducing synthetic UV filters and minerals required for photoprotection. It can be used as a natural antioxidant and emulsion stabilizer and applied to sensitive skin. Such product innovations help companies to gain a competitive advantage in international markets.

Major manufacturers are adopting creative strategies such as acquisition, expansion, and production capacity scaleup to serve their customers better and satisfy their growing demands. Therefore, strategic initiatives by manufacturers are expected to fuel the growth of the lignin market during the forecast period.

Europe Lignin Market Overview

The Europe lignin market growth is attributed to the growing implementation of climate plans by the European Union. In manufacturing batteries, graphitic carbon - is a strictly layered material that can have slow charging times. Replacing this fossil-based graphite with hard carbon from trees, such as lignin, brings both technical and environmental benefits. Hence, in batteries manufacturing, the use of wood lignin, is expected to create growth opportunities for the lignin market in the coming years. Moreover, European Union is implementing a memorandum to regulate new batteries, in order to adopt cost-effective and non-polluting biodegradable polymers. Also, due to the growing adoption of electric vehicles in the region, the demand for batteries across the region is increasing tremendously. The demand for batteries is projected to grow during the forecast period as battery manufacturers are procuring sustainable materials for the electrification of mobility. Sustainability has become a major goal of the automotive industry; as a result, car and battery manufacturers are focused on reducing carbon emissions in electric cars. Hence, bio-based carbon materials manufacturers are investing in the development of new products. For instance, on July 21, 2021, Stora Enso Oyj's pilot facility started operations for producing bio-based carbon materials from lignin. In 2019, the company announced an investment of US$ 11.32 million in this facility.
