DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Green Solvents: Technologies, Emerging Opportunities and Markets" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The green solvents market was valued at USD 4.9 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 7.7 billion by 2029, rising at a CAGR of 9.30%. The green and bio-based solvents market is expected to grow significantly in the coming years, driven by strict regulations on VOC emissions and other hazardous air pollutants and increasing adoption in the Asia-Pacific region.
The shift from petrochemical and fuel products to renewable resources, along with growing government support for research into green and bio-based solvents, presents significant opportunities for market growth. The demand for eco-friendly paints and coatings has risen due to favorable regulations from entities like the European Commission (EC) and the Eco-product Certification Scheme (ECS). These solvents are crucial in dispersing or dissolving compounds used in paint production. These regulations are designed to promote the use of sustainable materials in paint production. As these regulations become more prevalent, they catalyze the adoption of green solvents, essential for dispersing or dissolving compounds in paint. This regulatory push is one of the major forces propelling the growth of the green solvents market.
The packaging industry, which uses green solvent-based sealants and adhesives for bonding applications, has grown rapidly due to increased demand for consumer goods. These factors are expected to drive market expansion during the forecast period.
Among the various green solvents, lactate esters are expected to grow at a significant rate. This prominence is due to their widespread use in pharmaceuticals, industrial applications and personal care products. Lactate esters offer several advantages, making them attractive alternatives to traditional petroleum-based solvents. They are easily recyclable, non-corrosive, 100% biodegradable and do not contribute to ozone depletion. These properties, combined with the potential for cost reductions in their production, make lactate esters a compelling choice for a variety of applications, including paints and coatings.
ADM, Braskem, Cargill, Corbion, BASF SE, Dow, Solvay and LyondellBasell are some major green solvent producers. These companies engage in R&D to produce eco-friendly and sustainable products. They also focus on expanding their product portfolio and strengthening the supply chain network to capture market share.
In 2023, North America dominated the global market for green solvents. A few of the major factors propelling the regional market are the presence of several green solvents manufacturing companies in the region, technological advances and stringent regulation on the use of petroleum-based products.
