Sales Analysis of De-aromatic Solvent (2018-2022) Vs. Market Forecast Outlook (2023-2033)

De-aromatic solvents are the most modern type of solvent that is characterized by various components such as naphthenic, paraffinic, and others. These de-aromatic solvents are widely used in coatings, paints and inks, industrial cleaning, drilling fluids, adhesives and sealants, metal working fluids, consumer products such as household insecticides, and many other applications.

De-aromatized solvents have different characteristics such as low toxicity, low VOC content, and high occupational exposure limits, which make them an ideal alternative to conventional solvents. Due to such characteristics, the use of de-aromatic solvents is increasing which will drive the de-aromatic solvent market over the forecast period.

• Short Term (2023 to 2026): Rising use of de-aromatic solvent in the paint and coatings industry to positively impact de-aromatic solvent market growth.
• Medium Term (2026-2029): Asia Pacific and North America are anticipated to witness high de-aromatic solvent demand on the back of the availability of major-end use industries in these regions.
• Long Term (2029-2033): Increase in the use of de-aromatic solvent for Industrial cleaning and degreasing will drive de-aromatic solvent demand.

Over the 2018-2022 historical period, the global de-aromatic solvent market registered a CAGR of 3.8%, and according to the Fact.MR, a market research and competitive intelligence provider, the market is projected to exhibit growth at 6.2% CAGR between 2023 and 2033.

Market share analysis of de-aromatic solvent based on application and region is provided in a nutshell in the above image. Under the application segment, the paint & coatings formulation sub-segment dominates with a 27.2% market share in 2023.

“Growing Use of De-aromatic Solvent in Paint & Coatings Sector”

De-aromatic solvents are widely used in paint formulations. De-aromatic solvents have various properties such as fast drying time, low VOC content, and low odor. All of these characteristics make de-aromatic solvent a preferred choice for paint and coatings formulations. The market is anticipated to increase as a result of rising demand for paints & coatings from both the residential and commercial sectors.

The growing paint and coating industry market is anticipated to project high growth opportunities. For instance, the global paints and coatings market reached a valuation of US$ 184.0 billion in 2021, which is around 20.0% larger than the market value of 2019.

Other than this the demand for paints from marine, automotive, and aerospace industries are also anticipated to increase which will drive the demand for de-aromatic solvent around the world over the period.

“Strict Government & Organizations Restrictions on Hazardous Chemicals Boosting De-aromatic Solvent Sales”

In order to control the pollution by harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are emitted by the aromatic or related other compounds into the atmosphere, the regulatory organizations & governments have established strict laws that regulate the manufacturing and use of chemicals, particularly solvents which are volatile in nature. These regulations emphasize reducing the use of traditional solvents and promoting the use of lower or non-VOC substitutes.

De-aromatized hydrocarbon solvents, also known as de-aromatic solvents, contain low aroma than traditional hydrocarbon solvents. As a result, as compared to traditional solvents, these solvents exhibit relatively lower toxicity and low odor, and relatively high occupational exposure limits. Thus, de-aromatic solvents are effective and relatively eco-friendlier as compared to conventional solvents.

Thus, all these benefits of de-aromatic solvent will open new doors of opportunities for de-aromatic solvent companies over the coming years.

“Fluctuating Cost of Raw Materials to hamper De-aromatic Solvent Market Growth”

The cost of raw materials that are required to produce de-aromatic solvents is predicted to fluctuate, which would have a negative impact on the industry. The most common feedstock used to make a de-aromatic solvent is naphtha. Naphtha is produced from crude oil.

Crude oil prices are skyrocketing due to the Russia – Ukraine invasion and trade sanctions over Russia and Iran two major oil and gas-producing countries. Thus, the skyrocketing crude oil prices affect the profit margins of market players and hamper the market’s growth.

Further, crude oil needs to refine before it can be used and the consumption of crude oil resources, requires extra cost.

Such factors are anticipated to hamper the market growth of de-aromatized solvents over the forecast period.
