Report Code: CMR 55240 Report Format: PDF + Excel

Oxygenated Solvents Market Overview

Oxygenated Solvents market size is estimated to reach US$45.2 billion by 2027 after growing at a CAGR of 7.8% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Oxygenated solvents are different types of organic solvents such as alcohol, esters and glycol ethers whose chemical structure contains carbon and hydrogen atoms and are produced through the chemical reaction from olefin. Due to their high solvency and purity rate, such solvents have major applicability in the automotive, aerospace, building & construction and agriculture sectors for paints & coatings, adhesives, concrete additives and intermediates applications. This is influencing the oxygenated solvents market. Construction activities have also seen a surge over the year due to the growing demand for residential units resulting in significant growth in the building & construction sector. According to Mexico’s National Institute of Statistics and Geography, in Q2 of 2021, the construction industry in Mexico posted a high year-on-year growth rate of 33.8%. In addition to this, rapid growth witnessed by the automotive, aircraft and cleaning sectors is also driving the growth of the oxygenated solvents industry. However, VOC regulations by government organizations are anticipated to pose a challenge in the market growth of oxygenated solvents, thereby negatively impacting the oxygenated solvents market size. The lockdown caused due to COVID-19 led to the closures of plants, factories and sites in major end-users of oxygenated solvents such as automotive, aerospace and building & construction. This decreased the market revenue and negatively impacted the Oxygenated Solvents industry outlook.

Oxygenated Solvents Market Segment Analysis – by End-use Industry

The building & construction sector held the largest share in the Oxygenated Solvents market share in 2021 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Oxygenated solvents consisting of carbon atoms & hydrogen atoms have high solvency and purity rate. Due to this, they are used in paints & coatings, concrete additives and adhesive applications in the building & construction sector. Rapid urbanization and investment inflows have increased the scale of construction output. According to Eurostat, in February 2022, production in building construction increased by 8.6%, whereas civil engineering construction showed a 15% increase in the Euro area. Furthermore, according to China’s National Bureau of Statistics, in Q2 of 2021, the construction sector of China registered a growth of 1.8%, while its cumulative growth stood at 8.6% in the first half of 2021. Such rapid growth in the building & construction sector has propelled the demand and usage of oxygenated solvents in the sector for paints & coatings, adhesives and concrete additives applications. These factors continue to boost the Oxygenated Solvents market growth.

Oxygenated Solvents Market Segment Analysis – by Geography

North America held the largest Oxygenated Solvents market share of up to 39% in 2021. The region is witnessing significant growth in major end-users of oxygenated solvents such as automotive, building & construction and aerospace.
