Solvents refer to chemical substances that can dissolve, disperse or extract other materials to form a solution without changing them chemically. They usually have an unpleasant odor and are highly volatile and flammable, except for chlorinated solvents. Solvents are generally liquids; however, they can also be in solid or gaseous form and are available in conventional and organic variants. They are widely utilized as cleaning and degreasing agents and as ingredients in products, such as spot removers, printing inks, varnishes, adhesives, cosmetics, perfumes, detergents, paint thinners, and nail polish removers. 

Solvent Market Trends:

The increasing product applications in various end use industries represent the primary factor driving the market growth. For instance, solvents are used in paints and coatings to dissolve colors and binders, provide consistency, and find huge applications in pharmaceutical drug manufacturing processes. Additionally, there has been a substantial rise in the product usage in household cleaning and personal care products. Along with this, the widespread adoption of solvents in pesticide formulations is catalyzing the product demand. Furthermore, with the rising environmental concerns, consumers are increasingly shifting toward eco-friendly and organic products, which pose little or no hazards to the environment and human health. As a result, several leading manufacturers are making heavy investments and entering into collaborations with the top biotechnology companies to launch green and bio-based solvents to achieve sustainability. Moreover, the emerging solvent applications in chemical manufacturing processes, cooling circuits, dry-cleaning, and deicers are propelling the market growth. Other factors, including rapid industrialization and urbanization, stringent government regulations to use green solvents, ongoing research and development (R&D) activities, and technological advancements, are also providing a positive thrust to the market growth.
