Beauty and care products are one of the most important applications for bio-based solvents. The cosmetics, cleaning agents as well as the paints and coatings markets<\/a> alone currently account for almost two thirds of sales of \u201cgreen\u201d solvents, which are at least partially produced from renewable raw materials. The latest bio-based solvents market report by Ceresana predicts that the global market for bio-based solvents will continue to grow and reach around USD 9.3 billion by 2034. For vegetable oils, alcohols such as bioethanol or biobutanol, and other organic solvents, the company\u2019s market researchers expect average annual growth of 4.2% worldwide, and even more than 5.0% in Asia and Africa.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][image_with_animation image_url=”11192″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text]\n

Natural Alcohols Instead of Petrochemicals<\/h2>\n

Water is a good and popular solvent. However, if, for example, nail varnish, acrylic paint, or even asphalt residues are to be removed, stronger chemicals are required. Industrial solvents<\/a> from coal, crude oil, or natural gas are highly effective, but some of them are unfortunately also highly toxic. Volatile organic compounds in particular are considered a danger to health and the environment. In contrast, sustainable solvents based on biomass are often still more expensive, but ideally they are harmless and even biodegradable. The ingredients for organic cosmetics, for example, should meet the international standard ISO 16128. Alcohols are by far the most commonly used type of green solvent. For example, ethylene glycol, a bivalent alcohol or diol, can be obtained from fructose or cellulose. Glycerol is a triol that can be produced from used cooking oil or other natural fats, but is also produced in large quantities in the manufacture of biodiesel (fatty acid methyl ester).<\/p>\n

Bio-Solvents for the Bio-Economy<\/h2>\n

One advantage of bio-based solvents is the possibility of utilizing biomass residues that were previously hardly used. For example, ethyl acetate, one of the most important solvents for plastics<\/a> and adhesives<\/a>, can be fermented from whey or molasses, i.e. from waste products from dairy processing or the sugar industry. The paint industry<\/a> can use D-limonene, which can be obtained from waste peel from orange juice production. Furthermore, a by-product of paper production is used as an organic solvent for household cleaners and perfumes or for the extraction of food additives: Alpha-pinene, a terpene from coniferous tree oils. Another promising starting material for various bio-solvents is the platform chemical furfural, which can be obtained from corn cobs or sugar cane bagasse, for example.<\/p>\n

Solutions for Many Economic Sectors<\/h2>\n

Bio-based solvents are often used for organic cosmetics, bio cleaning agents, and bio paints<\/a>. However, solvents are also required in many other sectors and are among the chemicals with the greatest industrial demand worldwide. The largest consumers also include manufacturers of printing inks<\/a>, adhesives<\/a>, and pharmaceutical products. The food industry uses solvents, for example, to decaffeinate coffee, to dilute flavors, or to degrease surfaces. Solvents are also used for chemical manufacturing processes, cooling circuits, and de-icing agents.<\/p>\n

Current Global Bio-Based Solvents Market Report:<\/h3>\n

Chapter 1<\/strong> of the new study by Ceresana provides a comprehensive analysis of the global market for biobased solvents \u2013 including growth forecasts up to 2034: The market size and development of demand (in tonnes) and revenues (in USD and EUR) is explained for each of the following regions: Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa. Demand<\/strong> for and sales<\/strong> of organic solvents are also broken down for 7 individual application areas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In addition, the revenues generated with the following product types<\/strong> are analyzed:<\/p>\n
