Asia Pacific Solvents Market: Introduction
- A solvent is that component of a solution, which is presented in higher amount. It is also considered a substance in which the solute is dissolved. Usually, a solvent is a liquid. However, it can be an aqueous gas, solid, or supercritical fluid.
- A hydrocarbon solvent is a type of organic solvent which primarily comprises hydrogen and carbon atoms in its molecule. These solvents are produced as volatile fractions during the refining process of crude oil. Hydrocarbon solvents primarily comprise of aliphatic and aromatic solvents, which are widely used in different applications.
- Aliphatic solvents are those solvents which have straight-chain structure such as hexane, kerosene, and gasoline. They are primarily used for oil extraction, manufacture of paints and coatings, and degreasing.
- Aromatic solvents are solvents that have benzene ring structure present in their molecule. They are widely used for manufacture of inks, paints, agricultural chemicals, and thinners.
- Oxygenated solvents have carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms as key constituents of their molecular structure, which are primarily produced from olefins through various chemical reactions. These are most widely used solvents industrially. They tend to have good solvency power, and high purity. They are either completely or partly miscible with water.
- Halogenated solvents are organic solvents with halogen atoms i.e. fluorine (F), bromine (Br), chlorine (Cl), or iodine (I) as a part of their molecular structure. These solvents are used for metal cleaning, dry cleaning, degreasing, printing, paint removal, and production of thermoplastics. They are employed in industries such as paper & textile, furniture, and automotive aerosols.
Increasing Demand of Paints, Coatings, and Printing Ink in Asia Pacific to Drive Solvents Market
- Around 50% of the total solvents produced are used in the manufacturing of paints, coatings, and printing inks in Asia Pacific. Solvents dissolve or disperse different components such as binders, additives, pigments, and extenders used in the formulation of paints and coatings. They also help in speeding up the curing and drying process, due to which the demand for solvents is increasing. Moreover, the paints & coatings industry in Asia Pacific is expected to expand at a significant rate in the near future, owing to rapid industrialization and urbanization in the region, especially in developing countries such as China and India.
- Increasing urban population across Asia Pacific is driving the demand for new residential construction. Paints and coatings form an integral part of the global building & construction industry. Thus, increasing residential construction is augmenting the paints & coatings industry in the region. The construction industry in Asia Pacific is anticipated to expand at a rate of 7%–8% in the next few years.
- Demand for industrial paints is also increasing due to ongoing industrialization in Asia Pacific. Thus, these factors are projected to drive the demand for paints and coatings in the region from 2019 to 2027. This would result in increase in the demand for quick-drying paints in the region, which is expected to boost the solvents market in Asia Pacific during the forecast period.
- Increasing demand for printing inks, paints, and coatings in the Asia Pacific region is expected to drive the demand for solvents in the region during the forecast period
Increasing Demand for Adhesives and Sealants in Industrial Sector to Drive Asia Pacific Solvents Market
- Adhesives and sealants is another key end user of solvents in the Asia Pacific region. Solvents are used in adhesives and sealants to improve their efficiency at low temperatures, thereby maintaining an evaporation rate for better performance. Aromatic solvents are largely used in the adhesives industry, due to their high evaporation rates, which causes rise in the viscosity of adhesive films. Moreover, wetting of surface is a crucial property of an adhesive, which is achieved by dispersing or dissolving the polymer in a suitable solvent.
- Adhesives and sealants are used in printing, textile, and other manufacturing industries. They are also used by retail consumers for various purposes. The drying time of solvent-based adhesives and sealants is lower than its counterparts. The quick evaporation of solvents allows the glue and any other additives to be concentrated and exposed to set.
- Rising industrialization in the region, especially in developing countries such as China and India, is expected to drive the demand for adhesives and sealants in Asia Pacific during the forecast period
- Thus, increasing demand for adhesives and sealants is likely to drive the solvents market in Asia Pacific during the forecast period
Increasing Environmental Concerns and Shift Toward Bio-based Solvents to Hamper Asia Pacific Solvents Market
- VOC (volatile organic compounds) is one of the most commonly used terms in the solvents market. VOCs have high vapor pressure at room temperature and they easily evaporate. As a result, VOCs causes indoor and outdoor pollution. VOCs have long-term adverse health effects and hence, they are strictly regulated by various legislations. Solvents such as benzene and toluene are considered potential carcinogens and they have adverse impacts on the molecular mechanism that controls cell growth. Solvents contain high amount of VOCs and thus, several governments across the globe have issued stringent regulations regarding VOC emissions.
- Usually, solvents used in paints, coatings, inks, adhesives, and consumer products are considered as VOCs. Thus, VOC emissions from products and industrial operations are significant sources of pollution worldwide. In order to reduce the pollution, several governments and regulatory agencies have formulated laws and regulations to reduce VOC emissions from a variety of sources, including products that contain solvents.
- Solvents are considered toxic and hazardous for the environment and human health, primarily due to VOC emissions. Moreover, growing number of environmental regulations have resulted in a shift toward bio-based solvents as an alternative. This radical shift can be observed in almost every end-user industry including adhesives & sealants, paints & coatings, textile, cleaners, and oil-field chemicals. Bio-based solvents, unlike conventional solvents, are produced from biomass sources such as crops, forest products, aquatic biomass, and waste materials. They have low toxicity and low VOC content. They are biodegradable, which results in a safer and eco-friendly environment.
- Thus, rising environmental concerns and increasing shift toward greener alternatives are expected to restrain the global solvents market during the forecast period
