Tannin Market Research - 2030

The global tannin market size was valued at $2.3 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $4.0 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.7% from 2021 to 2030. Tannin is a complex chemical substance derived from phenolic acids (also known as tannic acid). Tannins are classified as phenolic compounds, which are found in many species of plants. Commercial tannins are pale yellow to light brown amorphous substances in the form of powder, flakes, or a spongy mass. They are used chiefly in tanning leather, dyeing fabric, and making ink, and in various medical applications. 

Tannin Market Size, Share, Growth Report 2030

The tannin market is experiencing significant growth, driven by its increasing demand in leather tanning, the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical sectors, and the wine and beverage industry. In the fashion industry, tannin plays a crucial role in leather tanning due to its natural ability to treat and preserve hides, responding to the rising demand for high-quality leather goods. Moreover, tannins are being increasingly used in pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties, appealing to health-conscious consumers. The wine industry also contributes to the market's growth, as tannins are essential in winemaking for their role in enhancing flavor, color, and preservation. These diverse applications are fueling the expansion of the tannin market across multiple industries.

The growth of the tannin market is restrained by competition from synthetic alternatives, which offer several advantages such as consistent quality, lower production costs, and greater availability. Synthetic tannins can be produced in large quantities, overcoming the supply limitations and seasonal variability associated with natural tannin sources, such as tree bark and plant extracts. Additionally, synthetic options often provide more predictable performance characteristics, making them preferable in industries such as leather tanning, adhesives, and wine production. As a result, the widespread use of cost-effective and reliable synthetic tannins poses a significant challenge to the expansion of the natural tannin market.

The emerging use of tannins in cosmetics and personal care products offers a lucrative opportunity for the tannin market growth. Tannins, derived from natural plant sources, are valued for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties, making them ideal ingredients for skincare, haircare, and anti-aging formulations. As consumer demand for natural and organic cosmetics rises, manufacturers are incorporating tannins to create eco-friendly and effective products. Additionally, tannins' ability to improve skin elasticity and protect against environmental damage aligns with growing trends in clean beauty, further driving their adoption in the cosmetics and personal care sectors.

The tannin market size is segmented into source, product, application, and region. By source, the market is categorized into plants and brown algae. On the basis of product, it is fragmented into hydrolysable, non-hydrolysable, and phlorotannin. By application, it is divided into leather tanning, wine production, wood adhesives, anticorrosive primers, and others. Region wise, it is studied across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

The major key players operating in the global tannin industry include Tannin Corporation, S.A. Ajinomoto Omnichem N.V., Polson Pty. Ltd., Forestal Mimosa Ltd., Ever S.R.L., and UCL Company (Pty) Ltd., Laffort SA, Zhushan County Tianxin Medical & Chemical Co., Ltd., W. Ulrich GmbH, and Tanin Sevnica D.D.

Global Tannin Market, By Region

Europe accounted for a major share in tannin market in 2020. European countries have been extensively manufacturing wines from ages, as drinks have been a regular part of the traditional meals across the region. Moreover, innovation in terms of flavor, color, and packaging customizations has led to increased sales of wines. Therefore, owing to high demand, considerable land areas were converted into vineyards, especially in the countries of Spain, Italy, France, and Turkey, as their local wines gained popularity across the globe. Manufacturers, thus, procure grapes in bulk from these vineyards to produce wine at lower prices. Tannins are widely used in wineries across Europe to protect wine from oxidation during barrel aging. Rapid development of the wine industry across the region is likely to drive the demand for tannins, thereby augmenting the growth of the market across the region.

According to the analyst, the global tannin market is anticipated to witness growth during the forecast period, driven by surge in demand from leather tannery, wine, paints & coatings, and adhesive manufacturing industries. Tannins are insoluble proteins and do not decompose. Owing to this property, they are utilized for the manufacturing of leather. In leather tanning processes, the skins of animals are treated. The demand for leather is increasing, owing to its varied applications in furniture, automotive seats, and clothing. In addition, rise in disposable income of people and surge in demand for leather products are expected to fuel the growth of the industry. Tannins have high anti-oxidation properties, which are required for the production of wines. It provides color stabilization in wines and gives it the desired structure. These extracts help the wines to age better, ferment properly, and gain a distinct aroma. Increase in alcohol production and its simultaneous consumption are factors anticipated to fuel the market growth during the forecast period. Moreover, rise in demand for manufacturing of wooden products has propelled the sale of wood adhesives. They are utilized in the manufacturing of wood adhesives. Non-hydrolysable tannins are preferred for this purpose. Wood adhesives are utilized for various applications, including furniture, construction, and musical instruments. Tannin is extensively utilized in the manufacturing of anti-corrosive primers, which withstand harsh weather conditions. Primers manufactured with tannins as additives help to smoothen rusted steel surfaces. These factors combined are expected to positively drive the growth of the industry.

However, carcinogenic effects of tannin are expected to hamper the growth of the tannin market during the forecast period. Conversely, rise in number of start-ups offering innovative products and technologies is expected to provide growth opportunities for the tannin market during the forecast period.
