Asia Pacific Crude Sulfate Turpentine Market

Asia Pacific Crude Sulfate Turpentine Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The size of the Asia Pacific crude sulfate turpentine market is expected to be worth USD 154.27 million in 2024 and grow at a CAGR of 5.38% from 2024 to 2029 to achieve USD 200.45 million by 2029. The market is showcasing evident potential in the mentioned forecasting period.

Crude sulfate turpentine earned a huge reputation in the recent past as the demand for fragrance ingredients is escalating which requires crude sulfate turpentine derivatives; also, customers are inclined towards more eco-friendly products and crude sulfate turpentine is the exact answer to that. Also, the very same is the case of detergents, perfumes, and soaps.

Crude sulfate turpentine is like feedstock for the manufacturer who produces flavorings, fragrances, polymer additives pinenes, turpentine oil, and pine oil. The technology follows the extraction of terpene hydrocarbon vapors from digester and evaporators and later separating them from turpentine water. Turpentine is a commercial fuel source and an alternative fossil fuel in applications such as furnaces, lamps, industrial boilers, and rocket fuels. Extraction of Turpentine oil is done from oleoresin which is collected from a tree.

The growth of the Asia Pacific crude sulfate turpentine market is attributed to the broader scope of applications for aromatic chemicals and household and personal care products. Also, the growing demand for products in Asia-Pacific is likely to stimulate market development. The shift in preference towards environmentally friendly CST derivatives as substitutes for petrochemical derivatives should boost the industry. Crude sulfate turpentine, a by-product obtained in the pulping process, can be purchased at a fixed price based on annual or semi-annual contracts. Manufacturers source their supplies directly from factories. It is a volatile amber liquid that offers important products, including alpha and beta pinenes, which are the building blocks of several natural flavors and fragrances.

In addition, these products react with polyterpenes, which are used in adhesives, specialty inks, electronic solvents, vitamins, pharmaceuticals, disinfectants, and other products. The concentration of products varies with the change of geographic areas due to the variation of the genus Pinus in pine. Manufacturers focus on sourcing sustainable raw materials through an efficient manufacturing process. They resort to renewable biological content for the manufacture of the product. For example, Kraton inherently implements a high bio-renewable content (BRC) by maintaining the overall performance of the tires produced. 

The use of crude sulfate turpentine by manufacturers is limited due to the large investment required in its distillation. This could be a major restraining factor for the market. The limited recovery of black liquor through the Kraft process is also expected to hamper overall product growth.
