Sodium lignosulfonate, a prominent by-product in the lignosulfonates market, is derived from the sulfite pulping process of wood. It is a versatile, water-soluble polymer known for its excellent dispersing, binding, and emulsifying properties. Thus, the Saudi Arabia market is expected to utilize 6.44 kilo tonnes of Sodium lignosulfonate by 2031.
The Brazil market dominated the LAMEA Lignosulfonates Market by Country in 2023, and is forecast to continue being a dominant market till 2031; thereby, achieving a market value of $30.8 Million by 2031. The Argentina market is registering a CAGR of 5.6% during (2024 - 2031). Additionally, The UAE market would showcase a CAGR of 4.6% during (2024 - 2031).
lignosulfonates function as binders, pelletizing agents, and mold inhibitors in animal feed formulations, improving feed quality, palatability, and digestibility while mitigating feed dustiness and microbial contamination.
Additionally, during manufacturing and handling processes, they effectively bind animal feed formulations by promoting the cohesion and integrity of feed pellets, cubes, or blocks. When added to feed ingredients, lignosulfonates help bind particles together, forming compact and durable feed pellets that resist crumbling and breakage.
With increasing awareness of environmental sustainability and green building practices, Brazil has a growing demand for eco-friendly construction materials and additives. Lignosulfonates, derived from renewable lignocellulosic biomass, offer a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based chemicals in construction applications. Their biodegradability, low toxicity, and compatibility with cementitious materials make them attractive options for use in environmentally friendly construction practices.
