Tall Oil Industry Analysis
The global tall oil market size reached 2.33 Million Tons in 2024. By 2033, IMARC Group expects the market to reach 3.50 Million Tons, at a projected CAGR of 4.37% during 2025-2033.
- The increasing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly bioproducts represents a major growth inducing factor for tall oil market. Tall oil is derived from the by-products of wood pulp during paper manufacturing and is used as a sustainable alternative in various industries including biofuels, adhesives, and rubber. It is also used in producing green chemicals that reduce reliance on petroleum-based products. Hence, the expanding green chemicals market which reached US$ 12.0 Billion in 2023 and is anticipated by IMARC GROUP to reach US$ 25.5 Billion by 2032 at a CAGR of 8.5% during 2024-2032 is escalating the demand for tall oil. Moreover, tall oil components like fatty acids and rosin are increasingly used in eco-friendly paints, coatings, and printing inks, reflecting a broader shift toward sustainability in chemical manufacturing.
- The market is also propelled by the growing inclination toward renewable energy as tall oil is widely used as a feedstock for biodiesel. Tall oil is widely preferred for biofuel production due to its renewable nature and consistent supply, unlike other volatile agricultural commodities. Hence, the expansion of the biofuel industry, particularly in Europe and North America supported by favorable regulations, is a significant driver for the tall oil market. According to the UNITED STATES ENERGY INFORMATION ADMINISTRATION, the total production volume of biodiesel production in the United States was 1.5 Billion gallons and consumption was 1.7 Billion gallons by 2022. Besides, the United States had 17 operating renewable diesel production facilities in 12 states with a combined production capacity of about 3 billion gallons per year.
- Government policies and regulations that promote the use of renewable resources are other crucial drivers for the tall oil industry. There has been implementation of incentives such as tax benefits, subsidies, and grants for using bio-based materials which has enhanced the economic feasibility of tall oil-based products. Moreover, regulations aimed at reducing carbon footprints and improving sustainability credentials in manufacturing processes have escalated the demand for tall oil over more polluting alternatives. For instance, in Canada, On April 1, 2024, as published in the Forbes Magazine, the federal carbon tax increased from $65 per ton to $80 per ton, costing drivers an extra 3.3 cents per liter at the pump. The carbon tax is scheduled to increase another $15 each year until it reaches $170 a ton in 2030. This carbon tax, which is applied to fossil fuel purchases, is intended to encourage Canadians to reduce their consumption of polluting fuels and switch to sustainable alternatives such as biodiesel which in turn will affect the demand for tall oil.

Product Description
Tall oil is a valuable by-product of the kraft process in wood pulp manufacturing, primarily obtained from coniferous trees. It is primarily obtained from the resinous by-product called black liquor, which is a mixture of lignin, hemicellulose, and other organic compounds generated during the pulping of wood in the papermaking process. The tall oil content in black liquor varies depending on factors such as the type of wood used and the pulping process employed. After the pulping process, the black liquor undergoes a series of extraction and separation steps to recover the tall oil. Tall oil is a viscous, odorous liquid that contains resin acids, fatty acids, sterols, and other compounds. Besides, it has various applications after refining, such as coatings, sizing for paper, paint, varnish, linoleum, drying oils, emulsions, lubricants, and soaps.
