Rosin Pricing, Demand and Supply Overview

Rosin prices in Germany, the highest-cost reporting region, rose 5.9% in Q2 2026 to USD 2,170.00/MT from USD 2,050.00/MT in Q1, as recovering adhesive, paper sizing, and ink resin formulation procurement reversed the brief Q4 2025 market correction. Chinese prices continued firming, up 2.1% to USD 1,615.00/MT, extending a sharp climb tied to strong demand from adhesives, paper, coatings, and chemical manufacturing industries. Brazilian prices, by contrast, eased 1.5% to USD 1,100.00/MT, continuing a steady multi-quarter softening trend. Globally, the average rose from USD 1,544.18/MT in Q1 to USD 1,585.86/MT in Q2, a 2.7% gain, following a jump of 5.3% in Q1. For H2 2026, this market's forecast points to a firm Northeast Asia, projected around USD 1,730.00-1,830.00/MT, and a softer South America, projected around USD 980.00-1,040.00/MT.

Rosin, also known by its main component abietic acid, is a solid resin obtained from pine trees and other conifers, sitting in the natural specialty chemicals bucket rather than the petrochemical one. Gum rosin is tapped from living plantation pine trees and steam-distilled to remove the turpentine terpene coproduct, while tall-oil rosin is recovered as a byproduct of wood pulping. Rosin is a versatile binder and tackifier used across many everyday products, including adhesives, coatings, inks, paper sizing, and rubber processing. The two markets tracked most closely in this report, Northeast Asia and South America, have moved in genuinely opposite directions, with Northeast Asia firming sharply on recovering industrial demand and Middle East supply disruptions, while South America has softened steadily on trade disruptions and weaker downstream derivative demand. Pine oleoresin tapping and processing costs, adhesive and paper sizing demand, and regional trade and tariff disruptions are what drive prices in this market.

Rosin Price Forecast for 2026

The outlook for Rosin through H2 2026 points to continued firming on Middle East supply disruptions and growing adhesive, paper sizing, and printing ink sector demand globally, with Northeast Asia projected to hold a firm USD 1,730.00-1,830.00/MT range. South America is expected to remain comparatively soft, projected around USD 980.00-1,040.00/MT, as trade disruptions and tariffs on Brazilian products continue reducing import flexibility and lowering buying interest in key destination markets.

The main upside risk is a further escalation of Middle East supply disruptions affecting pine oleoresin processing and shipping costs, which could push Northeast Asian and European prices higher than currently forecast. The main downside risk is a continuation of trade disruptions and tariffs affecting Brazilian rosin exports, combined with softer derivative demand, which could extend the South American softening trend further.

Region 2026 Price Range (USD/MT) Outlook
Global Average 980.00 - 1,830.00 Northeast Asia firms while South America stays soft
Germany 2,050.00 - 2,300.00 Recovering adhesive and ink resin demand sustains the highest price
China 1,730.00 - 1,830.00 Strong industrial demand and Middle East disruptions drive continued gains
United States 1,300.00 - 1,450.00 Steady adhesive and packaging demand keeps this market stable
Brazil 980.00 - 1,040.00 Trade disruptions and tariffs keep this the most affordable market
