Oxygenated Solvents Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

  • Surging Demand for Personal Care Products - the worldwide perfume industry was found to be worth approximately USD 50 billion by the end of 2022. Since oxygen molecules are present in oxygenated solvents, they are highly soluble and non-toxic. These solvents are frequently used in the manufacturing of a variety of personal care items, such as lotions, hair styling products, deodorants, and perfumes due to their low toxicity.
  • Growing Usage in the Pharmaceutical Industry – Oxygenated solvents, such as ketones, are commonly used as a chemical intermediate in chemical peelings, acne treatment, and the manufacture of various pharmaceutical drugs. Thus, the pharmaceutical industry's expansion is expected to drive demand for such organic solvents in the coming years.
  • Rising Traction and Popularity of Environment-Friendly Products – Based on a survey report conducted in 2021, the popularity of environment-friendly products expanded by around 75% throughout the world. The popularity of environment-friendly products and the rising consumer awareness regarding the harmful impacts of chemical-based products on the environment is propelling the demand for green solvents. Hence, the growing application of industrial solvents specifically, oxygenated solvents in several industries for a wide variety of end-use products such as home care cleaning products, industrial and institutional cleaning products, paints, inks, coatings, building, construction, and infrastructure applications, and food production applications is predicted to boost the market growth over the projected time frame.

Challenges

  • Stringent Government Regulations Concerning Environment - The production of conventional oxygenated solvents generates volatile organic compounds (VOC), that cause pollution issues in the atmosphere. Organizations such as the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the California Air Resource Board (CARB), and other government agencies have imposed regulations to regulate VOC emissions to avoid or reduce VOC emissions. Such regulations are expected to impede the expansion of the oxygenated solvents market as they may hinder the manufacturing of conventional oxygenated solvents.
  • Associated Risk of VOC Emission
  • Significant Effect of Bio and Green Solvents on Food Security

Oxygenated Solvents Segmentation

Source (Conventional, Bio & Green Solvents)

The bio & green solvents segment is projected to pool the largest market share of about 68% in the year 2037. The radically increasing demand for bio & green solvents in various end-use industries such as paint and coatings, cosmetics, printing inks, and others as they are environmentally friendly is expected to skyrocket the segment growth shortly. It is forecasted that the worldwide demand for green solvents is expected to rise from nearly USD 4.5 billion in 2018 to around USD 7 billion in 2023.

Furthermore, these solvents are non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, non-corrosive, and biodegradable in nature which is why their application is widening in many sectors.

Application (Paints & Coatings, Pharmaceuticals, Cleaners, Cosmetics)

The paints & coatings segment is estimated to garner a significant share of around 40% in the year 2037. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the worldwide escalation in the paint & coatings industry, coupled with the radically escalating consumption of solvents like glycol ether esters in decorative paints and spray paints to prevent them from drying in mid-air.

On the other hand, the cosmetics segment is expected to witness an impressive CAGR during the forecast period, owing to the exceptionally rising demand for several types of cosmetic products across the globe, followed by the increasing utilization of these solvents in the formation of various types of pigments of color cosmetics.
