Global solvents industry seeks greener alternatives
Study finds environmental, regulatory pressures driving change
Driven by increasing environmental and regulatory pressures and concerns over toxicity to humans, the global solvents market continues to undergo significant changes as demand for “greener” solvents has increased in developed countries during the last 15 years, while demand for traditional solvents (outside of China) continues to decline, according to a new IHS Chemical global market research report.
The 427-page report, the IHS Chemical Global Solvents Report: Opportunities for Greener Solvents, provides an in-depth analysis of the global solvents market, including supply and demand, suppliers and market outlook for solvents, but also regulatory insights and a comprehensive comparison of the different solvent types relative to effectiveness, toxicity and environmental impact.
