Market Scenario
According to a new report by Market Research Future, the global hydrocarbon solvents market is predicted to reach USD 6181.2 million by 2027. The market is expected to face headwinds during the assessment period (2020-2027) owing to the growing uncertainty on environmental viability of hydrocarbon solvents. Hydrocarbon solvents showcase high toxicity and face criticism from pro-environment groups. The market is expected to anticipated to touch 8589.8 thousand tons in terms of volume by the end of 2027.
Drivers and Constraints Affecting the Market
Hydrocarbons are majorly used in the paints and coatings industry. Demand from large-scale sectors such as construction and automobile sector is likely to keep the market growth over the review period. Moreover, growing population, awareness among the mass, augmenting demand from automotive and construction industries, changing lifestyle, mounting applications, enhanced standard of living, and growth in disposable income of the population has contributed towards the growth of the global market.
On the flip of a coin, the rapid shift towards bio-based and water-based solvents is predicted to hinder the growth of hydrocarbon solvents globally. Moreover, increasing concern over environmental implications of such solvents has resulted in the hydrocarbon market to shrink globally. Besides, strict government mandates, growing concern over the toxicity of VOCs, increasing demand for eco-friendly products, and tough competition within the industry is predicted to inhibit the growth of the market over the assessment period.
