The global market will grow on account of surging demand in the major application segments like pharmaceuticals, adhesives, paint, and coatings. A booming real estate industry is also facilitating the increasing demand for adhesives, paints & coatings. Moreover, encouragement of extensive research and development works for breakthroughs in manufacturing technologies and additional feedstock is considered to be an important catalysts that is augmenting the market growth. Raw materials such as corn scratch and soybean oil are experiencing a considerable rise in demand. Hence, the production of biofuels to a great extent will be influenced by the availability of such raw materials. On the other side, mis-conceptions related to the performance and cost of bio-based solvent are the major challenges that the industry faces.
Product Takeaway
The major products are lactate esters, bio-diols, d-limonene, methyl soyate, bio-glycols, and bi-alcohols. Currently, the lactate esters is dominating the overall industry and is also anticipated to undergo the fastesst CAGR. The primary reasons that could be attributed to its minimum production cost, surplus raw materials, convenient availability, and ever-increasing applications. In 2017, the net revenue earned by the lactate ester segment is over USD 1 billion. Likewise, the growth prospect of methyl soyate segment is quite impressive due to its growing demand as a solvent for engine, industrial equipment, and automotive applications. During the forecasted period, the methylsoyate segement is expected to experience a revenue growth of over 11%.
Application Takeaway
On the basis of application, the green and bio based solvents market is categorized into cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, printing inks, adhesives, domestic & industrial cleaners, coatings and paintings. Paint and coating segment is the most dominant owing to the rising concerns related to the environment safety. It is believed that a high amount of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) is present in chemical grades industrial solvent like coating solutions and paints. In 2017, this segement earned a significant revenue share compared to other applications. Similarly, the adhesive segment is going to bolster the overall market development owing to the increasing demand from the automobile industry in North America and Asia Pacific region. In terms of revenue, this segment is going to witness the fastest CAGR of over 12% during the study period.
Regional Takeaway
