Aromatic Solvent Market to exceed $7.7 billion by 2027

According to a new research report by Global Market Insights Inc., the Aromatic Solvent Market size is estimated to surpass USD 7.7 billion by 2027.
 

Positive growth indicator in the paints & coatings industry is analyzed to be one of the pivotal factors positively affecting the aromatic solvent market size over the forecast period. Aromatic solvents are widely used in architectural and industrial paint & coating applications due to their excellent solvency and film-forming properties. Heavy aromatic solvents also possess high evaporation rates that help in speeding up the curing & drying processes, thereby are ideal for use in paint & coating applications.
 

Aromatic solvents are regarded as an essential component in paint formulations. These heavy aromatic-based paints and coatings are considered to have performance benefits over conventional paints, which make them ideal for many residential & industrial applications. The presence of various regulations on the use of petroleum-based solvents is anticipated to be a major factor restraining the overall market.
 

The growing automotive industry will boost market demand

The automotive segment held a market share of over 10% in 2020 and is projected to generate a revenue of over USD 700 million by 2027. The automobile industry is estimated to be another major application sector in the market during the forecast period. The growing demand for automobiles is expected to generate substantial revenue for the market during the forecast period. Heavy aromatic solvents are extensively used in sealants, adhesives, and coatings used in the automotive industry. The properties of heavy aromatic solvents, such as high flash points, low residue, and controlled evaporation, make them suitable for use in this industry. Moreover, solvents also aid in better film and flow formations; hence, are highly compatible and yield better performance than conventional solvents. These solvents are also employed in ships for applications that require water-resistive properties and enhanced hardness.
