During the third quarter of 2025, the tall oil prices in India reached 2078 USD/MT in September. The price increase was largely driven by heightened demand from the paints, coatings, and adhesives industries. Rising crude-derived input costs indirectly influenced pricing due to tall oil’s dependency on related chemical feedstocks. Supply-side tightening, caused by limited domestic availability and elevated freight charges, added upward pressure.
During the third quarter of 2025, the tall oil prices in China reached 1355 USD/MT in September. Prices declined marginally due to sluggish downstream demand from resin and lubricant manufacturers. Improved domestic production capacities and lower raw material procurement costs supported price corrections. Export-oriented producers faced mild price competition owing to reduced European buying interest.
During the third quarter of 2025, the tall oil prices in France reached 877 USD/MT in September. The decline reflected reduced consumption from the oleochemical and biodiesel sectors. Weaker industrial activity, combined with an oversupplied European market, exerted downward pressure. Lower feedstock costs and steady pine resin imports also contributed to declining values. Additionally, logistics efficiency improvements and lower port handling costs stabilized domestic distribution.
During the third quarter of 2025, the tall oil prices in South Korea reached 2558 USD/MT in September. The upward momentum was attributed to strong demand from chemical intermediates and resin manufacturing industries. Rising input and energy costs influenced overall price elevation. Furthermore, international freight charges for imported crude tall oil added logistical cost burdens. Domestic consumption in coatings and adhesive segments remained firm, reinforcing pricing strength.
During the third quarter of 2025, the tall oil prices in Turkey reached 2158 USD/MT in September. The increase was supported by robust domestic demand from the lubricants and coating resin industries. Import costs rose due to lira depreciation and higher maritime transport expenses. Supply-side constraints emerged from sourcing limitations within European suppliers. Rising port handling charges and local logistics bottlenecks further intensified cost pressure.
Tall Oil Prices Outlook Q2 2025
- India: USD 2025/MT
- China: USD 1377/MT
- France: USD 925/MT
- South Korea: USD 2505/MT
- Turkey: USD 2065/MT
During the second quarter of 2025, the tall oil prices in India reached 2025 USD/MT in June. The quarter witnessed gradual price appreciation driven by expanding industrial applications, particularly in the resin and adhesive sectors. Import dependence led to moderate cost increases due to fluctuating global freight charges. The rupee’s weakness against the USD elevated the landed costs of imported tall oil.
During the second quarter of 2025, the tall oil prices in China reached 1377 USD/MT in June. The rise stemmed from improved demand in alkyd resin production and increased export activity to Southeast Asia. However, supply constraints from key producers led to modest upward adjustments. Energy costs remained a contributing factor, influencing manufacturing margins. Freight normalization and efficient domestic logistics mitigated excessive price fluctuations.
During the second quarter of 2025, the tall oil prices in France reached 925 USD/MT in June. Market growth was supported by steady consumption in oleochemicals and industrial coatings.

- India: USD 1960/Ton
- China: USD 1330/Ton
- France: USD 877/Ton
- South Korea: USD 2400/Ton
- Turkey: USD 2145/Ton
During the first quarter of 2025, the tall oil prices in India reached 1960 USD/Ton in March. In Q1 2025, tall oil prices in India were influenced by elevated import dependency and fluctuations in global freight rates. The domestic adhesives and rubber processing industries exhibited stable demand, while currency volatility impacted purchasing costs. Additionally, congestion at key ports and delays in customs clearance extended lead times, affecting procurement cycles. Regulatory reviews on resin additives also influenced short-term inventory strategies.
During the first quarter of 2025, tall oil prices in China reached 1330 USD/Ton in March. In China, tall oil prices during Q1 2025 were shaped by strong demand from the coatings and construction chemicals sectors.

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.
