The conventional Solvent Market is mainly driven by increasing demand from the construction and automobile sector in the developing economies of Asia-Pacific. On the other hand, the consumption of bio & green Solvents Market is being pushed due to the minimum impact they have on the environment. Lesser volatile organic compounds (VOCs) coupled with renewable sources as their feedstock makes them an ideal choice in highly regulated countries of North America and Europe. As the performance to cost ratio of these solvents increase, these will find a higher penetration in various end-user industries. Rising crude oil prices is also a considerable factor for increased penetration of bio & green solvents as consumers try to reduce the dependency on non-renewable resources such as crude oil, coal, and natural gas.

Toxicity and high VOC emissions from conventional solvents are the major restraints for the market as these have a negative impact on the environment. This leads to the substitution of solvents with other less harmful alternatives such as the usage of water-based and powder-based systems in the paints & coatings application. The major restraint for bio & green solvents is their performance issues. However, with time and increased R&D, the impact of this restraint will decrease in future. The leading players in the market include BASF (Germany), ExxonMobil (U.S.), The DOW Chemical Company (U.S.), and Sinopec (China).
