Key Trends in the Gum Rosin Market 

Adhesives and Sealants Lead the Market 

Gum rosin is a crucial component in the adhesives and sealants industry due to its tackifying properties. It is widely used in hot-melt adhesives, pressure-sensitive adhesives, and rubber adhesives, where it enhances strength, viscosity, and plasticity.  

Growing Packaging Demand in Asia-Pacific 

The packaging industry is another major driver for gum rosin. China, the world’s largest packaging consumer, benefits from rising per capita income and booming e-commerce. India, ranked fifth globally in packaging consumption, is growing at 22–25% annually, with the market projected to reach USD 204.81 billion by 2025.
