The green and bio-solvents market size, in terms of value, is estimated to reach US$8.17 billion by 2020, signifying a firm CAGR of over 7.94% between 2015 and 2020.
The driving factors identified for the green and bio-solvents market are: environmental and regulatory pressure designed to reduce the emissions of ODS, VOCs, and HAPs; reduced dependency on petrochemical solvents and the exporting countries; improved competitiveness from product differentiation; and uncertainty about oil price development.
Methyl soyate is the fastest growing green and bio-solvent and it has become successful commercially as a viable green alternative industrial solvent on its own merits, as the market demand has increased exponentially from the past ten years. Alongside methyl soyate, d-limonene and lactate esters are also high growth markets.
The biggest market of bio-solvents is North America, followed by South America and Europe. It is estimated that Europe will record a moderate growth due to strong regulations for bio-solvents. The largest demand will typically be in industrialised countries, while the best production potential will be found in developing countries due to advantageous climate and abundant land.
