Synthetic Tannins Market Analysis

Type (Hydrolysable, Condensed)

Hydrolysable segment is anticipated to dominate synthetic tannin Market share of over 65% by 2036, owing to the growing agriculture industry. One type of tannin known as hydrolysable tannin, or pyrogallol-type tannin, is made up of molecules, usually glucose, whose hydroxyl groups are partly or completely esterified by phenolic acids such as gallic or ellagic acid.

As per the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, global primary crop production increased by 54% between 2000 and 2021, reaching 9.5 billion metric tons in 2021.

They serve as chemical barriers against insects, microorganisms, and herbivorous vertebrates, affect the dynamics of soil nutrients, and have antioxidant, anticancer, and cardioprotective properties that improve the nutritional value of plant-based diets. Moreover, gallic and ellagic tannins are other classifications for hydrolyzable tannins, which have been employed as feed additives owing to their biological characteristics as antimicrobials.

In addition, proanthocyanidins, another name for condensed tannins, are useful additives that are applied to acrylic-based transparent coatings to prolong the life of the polymer coating and are ubiquitous polyphenols that serve a variety of ecological roles, including protecting plants from microbial infections and herbivores.

End-Use (Textile, Food & Beverages, Sealants & Adhesives, Leather, Pulp & Paper, Pharmaceuticals)

The leather segment is likely to garner a notable revenue share. The growing footwear industry is the primary driver of the segment's growth. Globally, the footwear market is expected to expand by over 3% between 2024 and 2028. The synthetic tanning procedure is typically used in conjunction with either chrome tanning or another tanning process, in chrome leather manufacture to ensure retaining since they give the leather the essential "fullness."

All shoe manufacturing firms employ this synthetic tannin since it has the biggest profit margin and demand. In addition, synthetic tannin are employed as dispersing agents for vegetable tannins and dyestuffs and can impart these peculiar qualities to tanned leather, making it so distinctive and easy to identify.
