Global Solvent Market Size - Industry Trends & Outlook Report 2026

 

Global Solvent Market is estimated to be USD 32.07 Billion by 2026 from USD 20.5 Billion in 2019, at a CAGR of 6.60 % from 2020 to 2026. Significant factors influencing the global solvent market include rising demand for conventional solvents in the construction and automotive industries. Furthermore, the growing need for solvents from the agricultural chemicals sector drives the global solvent market. Reducing crude oil prices is further improving the solvent market, as it is becoming inexpensive, and therefore, demand is increasing considerably. A major restraint for conventional solvents is consumers opting for bio-green alternatives, as they are less reactive and non-VOC in nature. Subsequently, end-use industries are accepting it to a greater extent. Developing nations, like India and China, are likely to offer excellent opportunities to expand the global solvent market. A solvent is a chemical liquid which converts solute into the solvent. These solvents are widely used in several applications such as personal care, pharmaceuticals, metal cleaning, printing inks, adhesives, paints and coatings, agricultural chemicals, and polymer manufacturing. Solvents refer to a class of chemical mixtures. They are used to dissolve and mine other materials to form a solution. Water is known as a universal solvent as it melts more substances than any other solvent. Solvents are largely available in liquid form and occur in gas or solid form.

Global Solvent Market: Market Outlook and Trends

 

Solvents play a primary role in industrial production. They can dissolve, dilute, and, in an excellent distribution, engross other substances without altering them chemically. Solvents (sometimes also called dissolvent) are frequently used in the varnishes and paints, printing inks, and adhesives industry and, for example, as an element of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and detergents. Mixtures that cause unpleasant odors, explosive vapors, and health and environmental harms are controversial and increasingly directed by the legislature. 

 

Global Solvent Market 

 

Growth Drivers

 

Increasing application across various end-use industries 

The primary consumers of solvents are producers of paints and coatings, followed at a substantial distance by producers of printing inks. Request on the part of the pharmaceutical industry hierarchical third, followed by use in cosmetics and adhesives. Other significant benefits are chemical manufacturing processes, cooling circuits, dry-cleaning, and deicers. However, a trend away from solvent-borne products and more ecologically friendly substitutes based on water is prevailing in the section paints and varnishes. This growth has an inhibiting effect on the demand for solvents.

 

 

Restraint

 

Solvents are extensively used in industrial processes and academic research. The volume of these materials released into the environment is tremendously concerned as these solvents harm animals and plants. Thus, several government bodies and environmental agencies have set up strict regulations to bind the releases of volatile organic compounds from numerous manufacturing and non-manufacturing industries, which is delaying the development of the solvent market.

 

Impact of COVID-19 in industry

 

The solvents market is predictable to get damagingly affected due to the trouble in the global supply chain. The market is highly reliant on automotive, construction, shipbuilding, and aircraft manufacturing as solvents are used in paints & coatings applications in these sectors. China is the primary market for manufacturing and construction in the world. Strict lockdown in the country’s significant provinces has pretentious construction activities in China. The demand for paints & coatings has deteriorated in the first quarter of this year, mainly due to the outbreak of COVID-19, thereby striking solvents' request.

 

China is among the largest manufacturers and customers of solvents. The lack of supply of raw materials has deteriorated the production of solvents in the country. North America and Europe are also severely influenced by COVID-19; hence the financial downturn in countries such as the US, Canada, Italy, and Spain, is probable in the next two-three years. The request for solvents has thin in the first two quarters of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Global Solvent Market: Segmentation

 

Based on application, the global solvent market is segmented into Paints & Coatings, Pharmaceuticals, Polymer Manufacturing, Adhesives, Printing Inks, Metal Cleaning, Personal Care, Agricultural Chemicals. Among these identified applications, the paints and coatings segment is foreseeable to show promising development in the years to come based on the boom in infrastructure and automobile industry.

Based on geography, the global solvent market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LMEA (Latin America, Middle East, and Africa). The market for solvents in the Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to grow rapidly based on the growths taking place in the residential and infrastructure industry. Solvents are used on a large scale for painting purposes in the infrastructure section, thus serving the solvent industry to grow.

 

 

Global Solvent Market: Regional Insights

 

The Asia Pacific held the market's main share in 2016 and is anticipated to maintain its position during the forecast period. The market in the area is also expected to enlarge rapidly during the prediction period. The demand for solvents is growing significantly in the region due to developing people and rapid urbanization. North America and Europe are relatively mature markets, which are about to reach saturation. Green initiatives taken by governing bodies chiefly drive these area markets. Increasing governing intervention, coupled with strict environmental laws regarding solvent usage and manufacturing in these regions, is predictable to limit the market growth. The emergence of bio-based solvents and increasing consciousness among consumers related to the welfares of environment-friendly products are predictable to influence the product demand over the prediction period.
