Gum Rosin Price Trend H2 2025
Asia
In the second half of 2025, Gum Rosin prices in Asia showed a mixed to slightly weak trend. Demand from downstream sectors such as adhesives, rubber compounding, inks, and coatings remained moderate, as industrial activity did not recover strongly. Buyers in major importing countries adopted a cautious approach, purchasing only on a need basis due to uncertain demand conditions. Supply from key producing regions stayed limited at times because of seasonal constraints, but this was not enough to fully support prices. Softer demand for rosin derivatives also reduced overall buying interest.
Europe
In Europe, Gum Rosin prices remained under pressure throughout the second half of 2025. Demand from downstream derivative producers weakened, particularly in southern Europe, as higher costs and slower end-use consumption affected production plans. Trade disruptions and tariffs on Brazilian products reduced import flexibility and lowered buying interest. Several buyers delayed purchases or reduced contract volumes, leading to slower market activity. Although supply tightened slightly due to lower operating rates at some origin plants, weak demand outweighed supply concerns.
North America
In North America, Gum Rosin prices followed a stable to slightly bearish trend in H2’25. Demand from adhesive, rubber, and paper-related applications remained steady but did not show strong growth. Domestic availability stayed sufficient, while imports continued at controlled levels. At the same time, competition from alternative resins and cautious buying behaviour limited any price improvement. While turpentine markets showed strength due to tight supply, this did not translate into stronger Gum Rosin demand, as derivative markets remained slow.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, Gum Rosin market is expected to remain cautious, with any improvement depending on a recovery in derivative demand and easing of trade related issues.

Asia
In the first half of 2025, gum rosin prices in Asia witnessed a short-lived rise during March, supported by seasonal demand from sectors like automotive, construction, rubber, and paper. Countries like China, Japan, and Indonesia saw a pickup in vehicle production and sales, which temporarily lifted gum rosin consumption.
However, by April, this momentum faded as key industries such as adhesives, paints, and coatings began to slow down. China, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam all recorded price drops between April and June due to weak downstream demand and cautious procurement. Supply levels remained stable, but without strong export activity or stockpiling, prices declined steadily across the region.
Europe
Europe did not show strong signs of price movement during H1’25, but indirect factors suggest some softening. With weak demand from Asia—especially China and India—import prices from gum rosin-producing regions like Brazil and Southeast Asia likely decreased. This would have had a trickle-down effect on European prices.
While the European adhesives and coatings markets continued to focus on sustainability and innovation, industrial activity overall remained moderate. Strategic partnerships, like the one between Henkel and Synthomer, aimed at reducing carbon emissions, showed a shift toward sustainable sourcing, but this did not translate into strong buying activity during this period.
North America
North America saw a relatively quiet market for gum rosin in H1’25. Demand from adhesives, packaging, and paints remained steady in Q1, but like other regions, Q2 showed signs of slowing. Imports from Brazil, where prices dropped sharply due to very weak global demand, likely led to softer prices in the U.S. and Canada. Without significant domestic supply issues or strong seasonal demand, the North American market followed the global trend of mild-to-weak pricing.
About Gum Rosin
Gum rosins or colophony are natural resins obtained primarily from pine trees. It is a solid, translucent with glassy appearance that is processed through distillation. They are widely employed in adhesives, paints, coatings, inks, rubber, paper sizing, electrical insulation, soap, and other related industries. Its adhesive and solubility properties make it a valuable raw material in these applications.
