The tall oil fatty acids segment accounted for the second-largest share in the global market in 2014 and is projected to follow the same trend for the next five years.

With rapid increase in pollution and exploitation of fossil fuels, the pressure on the ecosystem has compelled the need to find other alternatives to replace fossil fuels by renewable raw materials. Pine chemicals are obtained from living trees, dead pine stumps & logs, and as by-products of sulfate (or Kraft) pulping. Different chemical processes, including acidification, fractional distillation, and solvent extraction are used to refine and purify the different pine chemicals. Pine chemicals are eco-friendly, safe, and healthy to use. They help in reducing the carbon footprint and decreasing greenhouse gases concentration in the air.

The pine-derived chemicals market is led by North America followed by the Asia-Pacific region. The U.S. market dominates not only North America, but also the global market. The Asia-Pacific region is projected to be the fastest-growing pine chemicals market at a CAGR of 5.7 % from 2015 to 2020. Japan and China are the major and the fastest-growing pine chemicals markets in the Asia-Pacific region, due to increasing demand for bio-based products in the market.
