What is Shellac?

Shellac is a natural resin secreted by the lac insect upon trees in India, China, and Southeast Asia. Processed flakes of this resin are dissolved in alcohol and used as a finishing and coating material. Shellac is a non-toxic highly glossy, quick-drying material used in wood finishing, as a food glaze, for coating confectionery, in the pharmaceutical industry, and in cosmetics. Its biodegradability and compatibility with most media and components have made it the preferred substance for use in a variety of food- and skin-safe applications. As a strong adhesive, shellac is also used in sealants, primers, and coatings.

Market Trends and Drivers:

The shellac market is growing at a steady rate, owing to the growing demand for natural and sustainable alternatives to synthetic resin and coatings within packaging applications in the food and beverage, cosmetics and personal care, and furniture industries. Shellac is biodegradable and non-toxic; its demand in these industries is growing. The growing consumption of pharmaceuticals and confectionery products in addition further increases the demand. Shellac is used in coating tablets and is sometimes used as a glazing agent for confectionery. Regulatory restrictions around the use of synthetic materials also affect demand. Rising demand for high value furniture and custom-made wooden articles is increasing the consumption of shellac in wood finishing. Technical improvements to shellac processing and treatment techniques are increasing product quality and expanding the applications where shellac can compete with synthetic products. Export levels are increasing in major producing countries, including for example India.
