Aliphatic Hydrocarbon Solvents & Thinners Market: By Type ), By Application ) and Region Forecast 2020-2031  

Aliphatic Hydrocarbon Solvents & Thinners Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Type (Heptane, Hexane, Mineral Spirits, Varnish Makers & Painters Naphtha, and Others (Paraffinic Solvent, Pentane, and Solvent 140)), By Application (Adhesives, Aerosols, Cleaning & Degreasing, Paints & Coatings, Printing inks, Rubbers & polymers, and Others (Agrochemicals, Pharmaceuticals, and Automotive)) and Region Forecast 2020-2031  

Moreover, the rising demand in the automotive industry has a substantial impact on increasing the sale of aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents and thinners. These solvents are essential components in the production of automotive paints, coatings, and related products. As the automotive sector experiences growth, driven by factors such as increasing vehicle production, consumer preferences for aesthetic customization, and the need for protective coatings, the demand for aliphatic solvents rises in tandem. However, some aliphatic solvents may have associated health risks, such as skin or respiratory irritation.

Hence, the adoption of less toxic solvents due to health and safety concerns may hinder the growth of the . Meanwhile, global industrial growth and manufacturing activities create significant opportunities for the development of the . Market players are launching new products, forming partnerships, and making acquisitions to meet increasing demand from end-use industries. For instance, in July 2019, Braskem developed its new biobased oxygenated solvent, HE-70S, which features lower toxicity and greater solvency power compared to traditional hydrocarbon solvents.

Key Developments:    

  • In November 2020, Total launched BioLife bio-based hydrocarbon solvents to provide a safe, sustainable, and odorless alternative to traditional fossil-based solvents.
