The oxygenated solvents segment is led the solvents market during the forecast period, in terms of both, value and volume
By product type, oxygenated solvents led the solvents market in 2019, both in terms of both volume and value. This is due to their high solvency power and low toxicity. In addition, their usage in various applications, such as personal care, home care, paints & coatings, and chemical synthesis drive their demand globally.

The paints & coatings application was the largest application of solvents in 2019, in terms of both, value and volume
By application, the paints & coatings segment led the solvents market in 2019, in terms of both value and volume. This was due to the demand for construction chemicals which led to their increasing usage in the paints & coatings application. In addition, rapid growth in population, accompanied by the growing automotive industry across the globe, boosted the growth of solvents segment in the paints & coatings application. Also, growth of the automotive, OEM, machinery, and appliances markets globally drove demand for this application segment during the forecast period globally. However, the market for solvents in paints & coatings segment witnessed negative growth from 2019 to 2020. This is owing to less demand for paints & coatings as construction and automotive sectors were hit hard due to COVID-19, thereby leading to its decline.

The APAC is projected to lead the solvents market between 2020 and 2025, in terms of both, value and volume
The solvents market has been studied for North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), South America, and the Middle East & Africa.
