Industrial Solvents Market:  Information Type (Oxygenated [Alcohols, Glycols, Ketones, Ethers, Glycol Esters] and Hydrocarbon [Aromatic and Aliphatic]), End-Use Industry (Chemical, Paints & Coatings Textile, Pulp & Paper, Pharmaceuticals, Oil & Gas and other Industrial) and Region (Asia-Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America and others) - Global Forecast till 2024

Market Overview

Global Industrial Solvents Market stood at over 25 billion in 2017 and is expected to register a CAGR of over 2.9% during the forecast period.

Solvent is a basic substance that dissolves solutes to form a solution. The key purpose of a solvent is to transform the given substance into a suitable form depending on the application. Solvents can be discarded, reused, and recycled. Industrial solvents are generally in liquid form, but they can also be available in gaseous and solid forms. Industrial solvents are useful in the formulation of different products or the production of chemicals. Solvents find several applications in pharmaceuticals, chemical, oil & gas industries. Additionally, in purification and chemical synthesis.

Industrial solvents are the key products for several end use industries. Rapid industrialization in emerging economies has increased the demand for industrial solvents. The growth of the industrial solvents market is expected to create new opportunities for the manufacturers to increase their market share. The key players in the market are planning to acquire small players to increase their share in terms of volume, however, small players are planning to invest in R&D to introduced new products having different applications. In addition, some of the key players are planning to make long-term contracts with the end users. The introduction of environmentally friendly solvents is expected to positively impact the growth of the global industrial solvents market during the forecast period.

Based on type, the hydrocarbon segment is expected to account for more than half of the market value share and is expected to be the dominant segment during the forecast period.
