In 2015, the global green and bio-based solvents market was valued at USD 5.8 billion. This market is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period. This market is driven by growing demand from key segments like coatings, adhesives and pharmaceuticals. The growth of paints and coatings as well as adhesives can be attributed to the growing population and the resulting growth in other industries like real estate, public works and building and construction.
These products are in high demand in many industries, including paints and coatings, industrial cleaners, domestic cleaners, adhesives and printer inks pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and healthcare. Another key driver of the market is the increase in R&D capabilities by manufacturers to develop additional feedstocks and manufacturing technologies that can be used for large-scale production.
The industry faces key challenges, including increasing demand for biobased raw materials in other industries, and misinformation among consumers about the cost and performance of biobased solvents. The availability of raw materials like soybean oil and cornstarch to generate biofuels could be affected by the rising demand.
Asia Pacific is estimated to witness the highest growth during the forecast period, owing to availability of raw materials, low cost of production, presence of a large number of manufacturers, and high demand for environmental-friendly solvent solutions for several end-use verticals. The region's growing middle class and increasing disposable income have resulted in a greater awareness of the environmental impact of high-VOC adhesives and paints.
The market for green and biobased solvents can be classified based on their product: bio-alcohols and bio-glycols and bio-diols. With a global revenue of more than USD 1.5 billion in 2015, lactate esters dominated this industry. The segment is expected to see the greatest growth due to its increasing use, availability of raw materials like lactic acid, as well as low production costs.
One of the most important product segments in the market is methyl soyate. This segment is expected to grow at a CAGR exceeding 11.0% over the forecast period. This is due to the rising demand for methyl soybean oil in automobile, industrial, and engine applications.
The market for green and bio-based solvents is divided by application. These include paints and coatings (industrial and domestic cleaners), adhesives printing inks, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. As of 2015, the paints and coatings market accounted for more than USD 1.0 million in revenue. The growing environmental concerns about the use of industrial solvents that have high VOC levels in paints and coatings solutions is driving this application segment.
The highest revenue CAGR, at over 12.0%, is expected to be recorded by the adhesives segment during the forecast period. This rapid growth is due to the increasing demand from North America's automotive industry.
The awareness of the harmful effects of industrial solvents that are chemical-grade is growing around the world. This is driving demand for bio-based solutions in core applications like paints and coatings, as well as adhesives in end-use industries such as construction.
The market is likely to see significant growth in Asia Pacific and Latin America over the next few years. This is due to technological advances, economic and industrial growth, as well as low production costs in countries like Japan, China, and Brazil. In addition, the growth of end-use industries like building and construction, as well as automobile, has been significant in recent years in these countries. This is mainly due to the rapidly growing construction and auto industries in the region.
Current growth in Europe's industry is moderate, mainly due to the changing political and economic dynamic of countries like Germany and U.K. Europe will see market growth if the construction and automotive sectors recover.
