Global Green & Bio-based Solvents Market size was valued at USD 2.21 billion in 2022, which is expected to grow to USD 3.91 billion in 2030 with a CAGR of 7.4% during the forecast period between 2023 and 2030. The rising government measures in various countries to reduce carbon emissions and the increasing demand for long-lasting paints & coatings are driving the growth of the green & bio-based solvents market.

The increased carbon footprint from the industrial sector, rising country-level sustainability targets, and reduction in fossil fuel-based materials are the prominent trends driving the adoption of decarbonization norms at the global level. Furthermore, the growth of the paints & coatings industry is accredited to factors such as an increase in the renovation rate, a rise in residential construction activities, and the recent expansion of paints & coatings manufacturing facilities. Therefore, the increase in the implementation of carbon-neutral standards and the advancing paints & coatings sector are the major factors boosting the demand for green & bio-based solvents to ensure superior biodegradable properties. As a result, the surge in the demand for green & bio-based solvents fosters market growth.                

The Increasing Government Initiatives to Decarbonize the Economy are Accelerating the Adoption of Green & Bio-based Solvents 

Green & bio-based solvents are composed of sustainable materials, including waste materials and crops. Manufacturing green & bio-based solvents limits the worker's exposure to toxic chemicals. As a result, green & bio-based solvents are ideal alternatives to fossil fuel-based solvents. The global decarbonization norms are increasing due to factors such as increasing government regulations in the developed economies and an increase in the global temperature rise.

For instance, according to the Paris Agreement, an internationally binding treaty on climate change, the targets for global decarbonization include the reduction of carbon emissions by 45% in 2030 and net zero carbon footprints by 2050. Thus, the increase in the global decarbonization standards & regulations is fostering the adoption of green & bio-based solvents as the chemicals are composed of recycled and sustainable materials, this, in turn, is supplementing the market growth.

Growth of the Paints & Coatings Industry is Augmenting the Traction of the Market

In the paints & coatings industry, green & bio-based solvents ensure improved performance, minimized environmental impact, and superior cost-effectiveness. The increasing demand for architectural paints & coatings, rising construction activities due to global sports events, and the surging spending power of people are the key determinants spurring the paints & coatings market growth.

For instance, according to the recent statistics published by the World Paint & Coatings Industry Association (WPCIA), in 2022, the global paints and coatings industry was valued at USD 179.7 billion, representing a year-on-year growth rate of 3.1%. Thus, the booming paints & coatings industry is fueling the production activities for solvent-based paints & coatings formulation. The rise in the production of solvent-based paints & coatings products is boosting the demand for green & bio-based solvents to ensure superior moisture protection, thereby driving the market growth.    

Rapid Demand Expansion for Green & Bio-based Solvents in North America is Spurs Market Growth

The industrial growth of the North American region is attributed to sectors such as paints & coatings, building & construction, cosmetics & personal care, and cleaning products. The advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, the increase in the house renovation rate in the United States & Canada, and the increasing consumer spending on cosmetics products are the prime variables propelling industrial growth in North America.

For illustration, according to the recent statistics published by the World Paint & Coatings Industry Association (WPCIA), the North American paints & coatings sector was the third largest market in the global ranking, valued at USD 33.92 billion in 2022. Henceforth, the robust growth of the paints & coatings industry in the North American region is amplifying the demand for green & bio-based solvents to ensure a reduction in volatile organic compounds (VOC) content, which, in turn, is proliferating the market growth.         

Future Outlook Scenario

The recent company-level infrastructure investments to expand the bio-glycols production will create a lucrative growth opportunity for the green & bio-based solvents market. For instance, as of October 2023, the UPM biorefinery in Leuna, Germany is in construction. The biorefinery will manufacture bio-glycols and lignin-based renewable functional fillers by 2024.

The strategic partnerships are increasing between the chemical manufacturers for the commercial production of bioethanol. For illustration, in August 2023, Sumitomo Corporation of Americas, a subsidiary of Sumitomo Corporation formed a strategic collaboration with Allotrope Partners, a United States-based clean energy advisory & financial firm, and Axens North America, a technology provider for bioethanol to commercialize the production of bioethanol. Thus, the increasing strategic partnerships between various companies for bioethanol production will increase the commercial availability of green & bio-solvent products, thereby creating a favorable potential for market growth. 

The agricultural output has been surging in recent years. However, in the long run, the annual crop production will grow within the same amount of arable land. For illustration, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the global agricultural output for wheat and other coarse grain will increase by 9% between 2021-2030. This growth will be on the same area of arable land. Hence, the demand for green & bio-solvents will rise significantly to boost crop production within the same area of arable land and ensure crops with significant nutrients, thereby creating a prominent growth outlook for the market in the coming years.
