The global industrial solvents market is anticipated to make promising gains in the forthcoming years, on account of burgeoning demand for printing inks, paints & coatings, and cosmetics products across the globe. In addition to this, industrial solvents are also widely used in the pharmaceutical sector, impelling the industry share. For instance, pet shampoos utilize solvents to dissolve a medicinal drug for topical treatment, provide moisture, and soften animal hair & skin.

Industrial solvents are often used to dissolve ingredients and empower various solutions & manufacturing processes. They offer additional value in cosmetics, paints & coatings, adhesives, and lubricants because of their high solvency rate. For instance, Isopropyl alcohol is a multi-use solvent, which is often used as disinfectant in homes, and as an industrial solvent to dissolve substances, such as resins and oils, in production processes across various industries. The growth in manufacturing sector coupled with favorable regulatory outlook, especially in emerging economies, would positively favor industrial solvents market growth in the ensuing years.

The paragraphs below explore the growth prospects of the industrial solvents market with respect to the application landscape:

Paints & Coatings

The global paints & coatings market is anticipated to witness an upswing in terms of revenue in the approaching years, due to rising adoption across the building and construction sector. The paints & coatings industry is one of the biggest consumers of industrial solvents, attributable to the capability of solvents to disperse or dissolve the components in paint formation, to create paints of the desired consistency and eliminate globs or clumps. Apart from the construction sector, paints and coatings are widely used in the automobile industry. For instance, glycol ether esters are at times added to certain spray paints to avoid drying up in mid-air. The slow-paced evaporation of this powerful solvent group enables cars and other vehicles to get a smooth and flawless paint application for an appealing and durable finish.

In addition to the factors mentioned above, it is important to note that no single solvent has the capability of dissolving all of the film-forming ingredients employed in contemporary coatings. The application of optimal thinners and reducers is usually needed, which consists of blends of various solvents, wherein each can dissolve one or more ingredients within a given coating formula. This has been leading to increased product usage per application, thereby considerably contributing towards industrial solvents market growth.

Printing Inks

Numerous printing inks, used worldwide to print everything from books to food packs and labels, rely heavily on industrial solvents for accurate application to attain the vivid colors. In printing inks applications, solvents are implemented to regulate viscosity and permit flow without harming printing rollers. As with paints and coatings, solvents advance drying for contemporary fast-paced printing presses.

Printing inks applications have leveraged the potential of industrial solvents in a number of ways. For instance, the use of smudge-resistant ink in newspapers means no more finger staining and illegible print. Speaking of computer printer inks, they dry really very fast and are highly smudge resistant. Thus, the wide application spectrum of printing inks and brisk advancements in ink technology will create a powerful launch pad for industrial solvents market to reach new heights.

Cosmetic and Fragrances

The cosmetic industry relies heavily on industrial solvents to dissolve ingredients and increase the efficiency of products. Industrial solvents are widely used in lotions, shaving creams, face creams, and talcum powders to maintain the consistency of the product. For instance, Ethanol is hugely preferred by perfume companies as their solvent of choice due to its low odor. Indeed, the low boiling point of ethanol allows the solvent to evaporate rapidly and does not let it remain on the skin.

Likewise, acetone or Ethyl acetate is an important ingredient of nail paints and is especially looked upon for its fast-drying potential. Besides, it also finds applications in nail paint removal products, owing to its high solvency characteristic which enables the nail paint to be removed easily from the nail. Amidst this backdrop, it is prudent to mention that industrial solvents market share will soar high in the years to come, because of abundant product demand from cosmetic and fragrances applications.

Having realized the immense potential of the industrial solvents market, prominent companies such as Shell, Arkema, Honeywell, BASF, and Total have made considerable investments in R&D programs and product innovation to serve the evolving consumer demand better. Powered by the rapid expansion of the paints & coatings applications in tandem with growing infrastructure industry, the industrial solvents market is projected to attain commendable gains in the approaching years.
