Revenue Analysis of Aprotic Solvents (2017-2021) Vs Market Outlook (2022-2032)

From 2017 to 2021, the global aprotic solvents market registered a CAGR of 3.4%.

Aprotic solvents are those that lack an acidic hydrogen atom and are unable to supply a suitable hydrogen atom. There are two types of aprotic solvents by sources, such as bio-based aprotic solvents and conventional aprotic solvents. Aprotic solvents are more reactive and used to dissolve a wide range of compounds.

Rise of the construction and agriculture industries has increased the demand for agrochemicals as well as paints and coatings. Paints and agrochemicals are made with aprotic solvents. As a result, sales of aprotic solvents are expected to increase steadily over the coming years.

Considering all these factors, the global market for aprotic solvents is projected to witness a CAGR of 4.2% to reach a valuation of US$ 28.18 billion by 2032.

Which Key Contributors are Driving Aprotic Solvent Consumption?

“Rising Penetration of Bio-based and Green Solvents across the World”

Growing demand for sustainable solutions, increased use of polar-aprotic solvents due to innovative features such as high dielectric permittivity, chemical inertness, and thermal properties, as well as growing usage in the production of gas and oil refining are driving the sales of aprotic solvents.

Huge global large pharmaceutical sector and improved production extensions in terms of technological innovation are some of the significant factors that are expected to accelerate the demand for bio-based polar aprotic solvents over the coming years.

Rapid expansion in the pharmaceutical industry, which is considered to be the fastest-growing application sector, will further contribute by offering enormous opportunities that will augment the sales of aprotic solvents over the forecast period.

What Roadblocks are Encountered by Aprotic Solvent Manufacturers?

“Raw Material Price Volatility Along With Stringent Regulations”

One of the major constraints to the overall development of the global aprotic solvents market is the potential danger of health risks from commonly used aprotic solvents to human and environmental health.

Environmental regulations continue to impose restrictions on the use and disposal of toxic chemicals, forcing the industrial sector to search for greener and safer alternatives.

Since aprotic solvents are both dangerous and flammable, transporting them is difficult for businesses in the industry. Price changes in raw materials may also limit industry expansion over the coming years.

Which Region Accounts for High Consumption of Aprotic Solvents?

“Rising Initiatives for Construction Project Development Driving Market Growth in North America”

North America accounts for 34.5% share of the global aprotic solvents market owing to rising demand from several industries in the region, including oil & gas, automobiles, construction, and electronics. Because of established research institutes, new technology, and the presence of key players, North America dominates the aprotic solvents industry, with the United States being a prominent contributor.

Rising initiatives by government organizations for the development of construction projects and public infrastructure are driving market growth. Rising demand for eco-friendly paints & coatings driving the European aprotic solvents market.

Which Aprotic Solvent Accounts for Highest Revenue Generation?

“N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone Dominant Owing to High Solvent Properties”

The global aprotic solvents market is likely to be dominated by the N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone segment. Because of its high solvent capabilities, N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) is seeing increased demand from the oil & gas sector, which will help the industry grow.

Furthermore, extending the usage of NMP as a reaction solvent for agricultural and pharmaceutical chemicals, as well as a cleaning solution for electronic parts, is expected to drive aprotic solvents market revenue growth during the forecast period.

Which Aprotic Solvent End Use Accounts for Substantial Market Share?

“Expanding Usage of Aprotic Solvents in Oil & Gas Industry”

The oil & gas industry accounts for 34.6% of the global aprotic solvents market. The oil and gas industry is expected to be the most significant, with the growing demand for petroleum products. Increased use of aprotic solvents in gas generation and oil refining is predicted to improve aprotic solvents demand.

NMP is one of the important products, and its ability to dissolve a wide spectrum of metals is expected to see widespread usage, particularly in the plastic and oil and gas industries. As a result, the oil and gas industry is predicted to expand its need for aprotic solvents during the projection period.

COVID-19 Impact on Consumption of Aprotic Solvents

The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the oil and gas industry. There was extremely little mobility of automobiles due to the government's lockout and limitations. This had a significant impact on the oil and gas industry, as well as the aprotic solvents market growth.

Furthermore, the pandemic harmed other end-user sectors such as adhesives, paints and coatings and plastics because construction operations were halted in most countries around the world.

However, increased medicine sales have boosted pharmaceutical industry growth, with bio-based dipolar aprotic solvents being frequently used as intermediates in drug formulations. One of the primary reasons driving an optimistic outlook for the market is the increased need for bio and green aprotic solvents across sectors.

This is expected to boost aprotic solvents industry growth over the coming years.

Competitive Landscape

The global market for aprotic solvents is fragmented, characterized by the presence of well-established and diverse regional and international manufacturers. Aprotic solvent manufacturers are focusing on product quality and development to strengthen their market positions.
