Global Green Solvent Market Key Driver:

Supporting Government Regulation for Green Solvent - The stringent regulation of the government to reduce carbon emissions from the environment is driving the market growth of green solvents during the historical years. Many countries, like Germany, the US, etc., have been restricting the use of synthetic solvents to reduce carbon emissions from various industries. In the European Union, the usage of various solvents has lowered, such as chloroform, 1,2-DCE, carbon tetrachloride, NMP, DMF, DMAc, benzene, hexane, 1,4-dioxane, 1,2-DME, diethyl ether, etc., due to their adverse effect on human health & the environment. Therefore, various sectors, such as pharmaceutical, chemical, cosmetic, etc., are adopting these solvents to follow government norms for reducing carbon footprints. Hence, the growing demand for environment-friendly solvents from industries to minimize the carbon footprint from the environment is driving the market growth.

Global Green Solvent Market Possible Restraint:

High Cost Associated with Production - High cost is one of the significant challenges in the market growth of green solvents, as the production of these solvents is more expensive than conventional solvents. Owing to the high cost of raw materials used to form solvents, as they are obtained from crops such as sugarcane, soybean, etc., which are more expensive than petroleum-based solvents. Furthermore, the production process of these solvents requires high energy & heavy equipment, owing to its complex process of manufacturing, which adds to the total cost of the solvent.

Hence, the formation & development of these solvents requires high capital than conventional ones, which raises the overall costs & results in low adoption among users, especially among middle- & low-income manufacturers, which already use traditional solvents that are less expensive & readily available, which hampers the market growth.

Global Green Solvent Market Growth Opportunity:

Development of New Green Solvents an Opportunity for End-user - The rising formation & development of novel eco-friendly solvents are creating new opportunities in the market as various end-user industries, such as cosmetics, pharmaceutical, etc., are willing to integrate green solvents in their process, which drives the demand for these solvents in the future. As the industry & consumers become more environmentally conscious, they are presumed to require new eco-friendly chemicals with improved performance & sustainability. That would lead to rising demand for these solvents in the forecast years.

Additionally, the formation of new eco-friendly solvents requires considerable R&D and high costs. Therefore, chemical companies invest in research & development processes to develop new solvents & integrate them into various applications to boost their acceptance in many end-use industries & create future market opportunities.

Global Green Solvent Market Key Trend:

Rise in Adoption of Green Solvents in Agriculture industry - The agriculture sector has been facing an issue of chemical toxicity in crops due to the excessive use of chemical-based fertilizers. Owing to this practice, the level of toxicity has been increasing on the land & has adverse effects on the health of the consumer. Therefore, to overcome this issue, a trend has been observed, in the agriculture industry, which is the gradually growing use of green solvents in farms, to reduce toxicity & enhance production through eco-friendly measures. This has resulted in expanded demand for these solvents from the agriculture sector recently. Additionally, in response to this trend from the agriculture sector, various chemical companies are formulating their products according to the requirement of the agriculture industry, which would have a positive impact on the market growth in the forecast years.
