The global solvent market is anticipated to increase by 3.0%
annually, to reach 33.4 million tons, by 2018. Solvents are
primarily used to dissolve, suspend, and carry particles, thereby
forming a solution. The bio & green solvent market is growing
at a high rate, while the conventional solvents market is greatly
matured. The report covers the solvents market and its trends that
concern four regions, namely, North
America, Europe,
Asia-Pacific, and ROW (Rest of the
World); and the major countries in each region such as U.S.,
Canada, Germany, China, South Arabia, Brazil, and others.
Various applications such as paints & coatings,
pharmaceuticals, adhesives, printing inks, personal care, metal
cleaning, rubber & polymer, agricultural chemicals, and others
are covered. Solvents by types , that is, oxygenated, hydrocarbon,
and halogenated, which include others have also been studied. These
have further been broken down by their respective sub types, such
as alcohols, glycols, glycol ethers, ketones, and esters for
oxygenated solvents, aliphatic and aromatic solvent for
hydrocarbon, methylene chloride, trichloroethylene, and
perchloroethylene for halogenated solvents.
Asia-Pacific, being the global
manufacturing hub of the world, is the largest market for solvent.
Emerging economies such as China
and India, and growing activities
in the construction and automotive sector provide a further push to
the market. Globally, paints & coatings is the largest market
for solvents.
Asia-Pacific will continue to lead
the global solvent market by 2018. However, North America and Europe will lead the consumption of bio &
green solvents due to growing regulations and concerns for high VOC
emission. Toxicity issues, due to the usage of conventional
solvents, is leading to a rapid replacement of these with the green
alternatives. In the solvents market, the industry comprises of
several global and regional players such as BASF (Germany), ExxonMobil (U.S.), The DOW Chemical
Company (U.S.), and Sinopec (China) among various others.
