The report offers a comprehensive analysis of key segments, trends, drivers, restraints, competitive landscape, and factors that are playing a substantial role in the market.

Global Bio Solvents Market Definition

Solvents are chemical substances that find commercial applications across a diverse set of industries. Solvents are ubiquitous in that various million tons of these are used annually across industries ranging from textiles, paints & coatings, plastics & rubber, pharmaceuticals, oil & gas, construction, and chemical synthesis, among others. The global solvents market is characterized by the dominance of conventional petroleum feedstock-based solvents across the aforementioned industries. Such wide-scale use of these petroleum-based solvents is reported to have engendered significant environmental ill-effects.

Thus, increasing environmental concern, over the past decade, has prompted regulatory authorities to implement stringent regulations directed toward addressing the menace of such harmful chemical substances. Bio-based solvents or simply bio-solvents, unlike petroleum-based solvents, are produced using green, environmentally friendly feedstock, and hence are carbon-neutral, free from volatile organic compounds, non-toxic, and sustainable alternatives for application across industries. The commonly used feedstock for the production of these bio-solvents includes sugars, cellulose, oils, & fats, and agricultural products, among others.

Global Bio Solvents Market Overview

The Global Bio Solvents Market is expected to witness robust growth during the forecast period. Over the recent past, there have been significant advances in the development of sustainable bio-solvents that are efficient and efficacious as compared to petroleum-based solvents, moreover, such developments are expected to gather momentum over the forecast period. The Global Bio Solvents Market is primarily driven by volatile petrochemical prices associated with increasing health concerns due to VOC presence in conventional solvents. In addition, stringent regulations by EPA, DEFRA, and REACH with respect to toxicity content in conventional solvents have fueled the growth of bio solvents. This trend is projected to have a positive impact on global market growth over the next six years.

Further, increasing penetration of bio solvents in coatings, paints, sealants, adhesives, and printing inks is projected to have a positive impact on the growth of the bio solvent market. This coupled with the rising adoption and penetration of these bio-solvents across key end-use industries is expected to drive the growth of the Global Bio Solvents Market during the forecast period. Also, the steady growth of key end-use industries such as paints & coatings, agrochemicals, industrial cleaning, textiles & printing inks, and adhesives & sealants, among others especially across developing regions of the globe is expected to further propel the market for bio-solvents during the forecast period.

However, concerns, as regards the effectiveness of these alternative solvents vis-a-vis comparative grades of petroleum-based solvents, are one of the factors that are likely to impede the growth of the Global Bio Solvents Market during the initial part of the forecast period. Also, relatively less stringent or absence of regulations pertaining to the use of sustainable alternatives coupled with a lack of awareness regarding such alternatives is likely to act as an impediment to the growth of the Global Bio Solvents Market during the forecast period. Also, relatively higher prices are another factor that is likely to affect the adoption of bio-solvents in certain parts of the globe during the forecast period.
