The global green solvents market size is expected to reach USD 3.46 billion by 2030, and expand at a CAGR of 8.5% from 2023 to 2030, as per a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth is majorly driven by the increase in consumer preference for bio-based or eco-friendly products over the past few years.
Solvents are frequently used in the production of numerous chemical products. However, the presence of volatile organic components (VOC) in current chemical formulations severely restricts the usage of solvents. Furthermore, the sale of the product is being hampered by more rigorous regulations regarding volatile organic compounds (VOC). Due to this situation, the demand for an environmentally friendly product with very low to nil VOC concentration continues to rise very quickly.
In addition, demand is also being fueled by the global drive for sustainability and a lower carbon footprint. The manufacturers are forced to promote the use of the product and convert their production facilities to employ them to lessen their carbon footprints because these goods offer an alternative to conventional solvents with comparable functionality.
Additionally, surging utilization of the product in a variety of end-use applications such as paints & coatings, agricultural chemicals, and personal care continues to drive the market growth. Additionally, the use of the product in the food & beverages and pharmaceuticals industries further expands the growth potential in the global market.
The overall industry witnessed a negative impact during the COVID-19 pandemic, due to many factors such as a halt in production manufacturing units, massive disruption of the supply chain, and reduced demand from end-use industries around the world. On the other hand, the bio-alcohol type of green solvents witnessed a substantial positive impact amid the pandemic due to its growing applicability in the formulation of hand sanitizers and other cleaning products.
