Oxygenated Solvents (Alcohols, Esters, Glycols, Glycol Ethers, Ketones) Market 2017 - Global Forecast to 2022

DUBLIN, December 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

The "Oxygenated Solvents Market by Source (Conventional and Bio & Green), Type (Alcohols, Esters, Glycols, Glycol Ethers, Ketones), Application (Paints & Coatings, Pharmaceuticals, Cleaners, and Crop Protection), Region - Global Forecast to 2022" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

The oxygenated solvents market is estimated to grow from USD 22.28 Billion in 2017 to USD 32.27 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 7.8%.

An oxygenated solvent contains oxygen molecule,with high solvency and low toxicity. These solvents are widely used in paints, inks, pharmaceuticals, perfumes, adhesives, cosmetics, detergents, and food processing. Alcohols,glycols, glycol ethers, ketones,bio & green sovlents and esters are the major types of oxygenated solvents.

By source, the bio & green solvents segment of the market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth is attributed to the increased use of bio & green solvents due to the use of renewable sources as raw material and their non-toxic and eco-friendly nature.

The alcohol solvents segment is estimated to be the largest, in terms of volume during the forecast period. The growth of this segment is attributed to the relatively low cost and high dissolution power alcohol solvents.

Asia-Pacific accounted for the largest share of the oxygenated solvents market in 2016. The increased demand for oxygenated solvents in Asia-Pacific can be attributed to the shifting of the manufacturing sector from developed economy to the region. Moreover, the increasing government spending on the agricultural, pharmaceutical, and building & construction sectors in the region is also expected to fuel the growth of the market during the forecast period.

The bio & green solvents are environment friendly and may hamper the demand for the conventional oxygenated solvents.

The key players in the market include BASF (Germany), OXEA (Germany), LyondellBasell (Netherlands), SINOPEC (China), Eastman Chemical Company (U.S.) and The Dow Chemical Company(U.S.).
