New Report Launch: A market insights report on green solvents

Solvents are vital ingredients for chemical processes and products. They are used in a wide range of applications including paints and coatings, adhesives, industrial and institutional cleanings, household and personal care products, pharmaceuticals products, agrochemicals, electronics, and others. Solvent choice can have a significant impact on the perceived “greenness” of a process, as well as having impacts on the emissions of CO2 or VOCs. NexantECA in continuing its focus on sustainable chemicals, has just published Market Insights: Green Solvents - 2022

This report focusses on the commercial and regulatory aspects of the solvents business. It lays out the global regulatory framework and details the regional regulations including US, Canada, Mexico, EU, UK, China, Japan, Brazil, Chile and Columbia, which shape the development of solvent and its end use markets. Green solvents demand is bound to increase thanks to the sustainability megatrends and increasingly stringent regulations. Green solvents are expected to reach 16 percent of the total solvents market by 2035, driven by growth in the paints and coatings, home and personal care, electronics, printing inks, adhesives, and industrial and institutional cleaning, and to a lesser extent agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals.
