DUBLIN, Sept. 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

The "Solvents Market by Type (Alcohols, Ketones, Esters, Glycol Ethers, Aromatic, Aliphatic), Application (Paints & Coatings, Polymer Manufacturing, Printing Inks), Source (Petrochemical-based, Bio & Green), and Region - Global Forecast to 2023" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The solvents market is projected to grow from USD 47.37 billion in 2018 to USD 57.34 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 3.9% during the forecast period. The solvents market has been segmented on the basis of source, product type, application, and region.

Significant investments in R&D activities to develop bio & green solvents and highly fragmented market with the presence of a few large market players make the intensity of competition in the bio & green solvents market moderate to high. The petrochemical-based solvent market is a consolidated market with exceedingly large players possessing large production capacities in the industry. A few players in the petrochemical-based solvents market have integrated both, backward and forward to obtain cost advantages.

Due to low product differentiation, the quality of product does not have an impact on the market. Thus, intensity of competition in the petrochemical-based solvents market is low. Fluctuating prices of raw materials adversely impact the overall cost of production incurred by the manufacturers of solvents. High capital costs coupled with the licensing of proprietary technology restrict the entry of new players into the market.

Expansion has been the major developmental strategy adopted between 2014 and 2018 by the key players in the solvents market for passenger cars. Companies such as Royal Dutch Shell Plc. (Netherlands), Eastman Chemical Company (US), BASF SE (Germany), and ExxonMobil Corporation (US) have adopted these strategies to strengthen their market presence and customer base as well as gain a competitive edge in the market. These companies also focus on investing in R&D activities to introduce new and cost-effective solvents to meet changing consumer needs.
