According to a new report by Allied Market Research titled, “World Green Solvents Market Opportunities and Forecast, 2014-2020”, the green solvents market volume would reach 3,321.4 kilo tons by 2020, registering a CAGR of 4.3 per cent during 2015-2020.
Paints and coatings application segment contributed 43.6 per cent share of the overall green solvents market, and is expected to maintain this trend during the forecast period.
Green solvents are bio-based solvents that are derived from various agricultural sources, such as corn, sugarcane, lactic acid, refined glycerine, bio succinic acid, vegetable oils, among others. Volatility in the crude oil prices, lower content of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and environment-friendly attribute of green solvents are the major factors fostering the growth of this market across the globe.
Furthermore, increasing adoption of green solvents among the end users, including paints and coatings, printing inks and others; spiralling construction activities, automobile and consumer goods industries across the globe would supplement the market growth. However, high production cost due to capital-intensive production techniques coupled with heavy R&D investments are the major factors that would hamper the market growth.
The ester solvents segment accounted for the highest consumption in 2014 and would continue this trend during the forecast period, which was primarily due to its unique properties such as high solvency rate, easy availability and comparatively lower pricing than the other green solvents.
