Market Insights
Green solvents are solvents made from naturally occurring resources like plants, fruits, seeds and other. These are non-emitting VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) with very low toxicity level, low miscibility, easily biodegradable under environmental conditions. Environmental concerns have led to industrial participants investing in developing cheaper and superior green solvents. The Federal and environmental agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and ECHA have executed numerous regulations assisting green solvents, thus aiding the global green solvents market. Initiatives like the Montreal Protocol, which are laid down to protect the environment are expected to help the market further. Paint and coatings application segment has the highest market share for green solvents, and it is expected to be the fastest growing segment in the forecast period as well. Huge installation cost, decreasing the price of oil and gas and slow reaction rate compared to alternative chemical solvents are going to restrain its adoption during the forecasting years.
