The global tannin market size reached USD 10.1 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 15.3 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.73% during 2025-2033. The increasing demand for tannin in leather production, expanding wine and beverage industries, robust growth in the pharmaceutical sector, growing use of tannin in health supplements, and increasing application of tannin in wood adhesives and animal feed additives are some of the major factors propelling the market growth.
Increasing Demand in the Leather Industry
The extensive use of tannins for the leather tanning process as it enhances the durability and quality of leather products is further driving the market growth. The robust demand for leather, particularly in the fashion and automotive sectors, is significantly driving the demand for tannin. According to data from the IBEF, India has four main leather sectors: Tanning, Footwear, Leather Garments, and Leather garments and Accessories. The country accounts for 13% of the world's total leather production. It is also the second-largest producer and consumer of leather footwear. The country has a strong and eco-sustainable tanning base and modern manufacturing units. It also has strong support from the leather, chemical, and auxiliary industries. The industry employs about 4.42 million people in the country. It is a prominent source of employment in the rural parts of India with women employed at about 30% in the sector. This is further boosting the tannin market share significantly.
Growing Wine Industry
Tannins play a crucial role in wine production, affecting flavor, color, and aging properties. The expanding wine industry, especially in regions like Europe and North America, is boosting the demand for tannins. Tannins naturally occur in grape skins, seeds, and stems which is further driving its demand in the industry. According to Wines of South Africa, 89 384 hectares of vines producing wine grapes are under cultivation in South Africa over an area some 800 kilometers in length. White varieties constitute 55% of the plantings for wine, with Chenin Blanc comprising 18.4% of the total. Red wine varieties account for 45% of the national vineyard. The most widely planted red variety is Cabernet Sauvignon, representing 10.6% of the total. Shiraz accounts for 10.0%, while Pinotage, which is indigenous to South Africa, represents 7.4% and Merlot 5.9%. The local wine industry continues to re-align its vineyard offering in line with international trends. This is further influencing the tannin market value positively.
Rising Health and Pharmaceutical Applications
The increasing popularity of tannins for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties is acting as a major growth-inducing factor in the market. The rising use of tannins in health supplements, pharmaceuticals, and natural remedies contributes to the market growth. For instance, Inlife Triphala Extract is a meticulously formulated dietary supplement crafted with premium quality ingredients. Each vegetarian capsule contains 500mg of Triphala extract with a high tannin content of over 15%, ensuring you receive a concentrated dose of this traditional blend. Similarly, Tannin 50 is a spray-chilled, tannin-rich product derived from chestnut wood, encapsulated for a consistent release of the active ingredient all along the gastrointestinal tract and mitigating the anti-nutritional effects of non-protected tannin products. Due to their natural, intrinsic astringency properties, tannins are beneficial in improving manure consistency and overall barn environment. This is expected to influence the tannin market growth drivers over the coming years.
Plants accounts for the majority of the market share
The demand for plant sources in the market is driven by the rising preference for natural and sustainable products, environmental concerns over synthetic alternatives, and the rich availability of tannins in plants like quebracho, oak, and chestnut. In addition to this, advancements in extraction technology enhance yield and quality, which makes plant-based tannins more economically viable, thus propelling the tannin demand. Their applications in the leather, wine, pharmaceutical, and food industries, due to their biodegradable and non-toxic nature, further boost tannin demand.
Hydrolysable tannins holds the largest share of the industry
The demand for hydrolysable tannins is driven by their versatile applications and beneficial properties. Their strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects make them valuable in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries. In food and beverage production, they improve flavor and shelf life. The leather industry also values hydrolysable tannins for producing high-quality, flexible leather. The rising preference for natural, sustainable ingredients boosts their use over synthetic alternatives. Technological advancements in extraction methods further enhance their availability and cost-effectiveness, supporting tannin market dynamics.
Leather tanning represents the leading market segment
The demand for tannin in leather tanning applications is driven by its essential role in transforming raw hides into durable, high-quality leather. Tannins enhance the leather's strength, flexibility, and resistance to decomposition. Increasing consumer preference for premium leather goods in the fashion, automotive, and furniture industries boosts this demand. Additionally, environmental concerns and regulations promote the use of plant-derived tannins over synthetic alternatives. The leather industry's focus on sustainable and eco-friendly processes further drives the adoption of natural tannins, which is further creating a positive tannin market outlook.
Europe leads the market, accounting for the largest tannin market share
