The market for green and bio-based solvents is being driven by concern for the environment and the need for eco-friendly methods. Pollution and climate change are pushing businesses to find solutions that don't come from petrochemicals. Bio-based and green liquids made from plants and farm waste meet the need for cleaner and more healthy business practices around the world.
MRFR estimates the Global Green and Bio-Based Solvents Market will reach USD 8.78 billion by 2030 at a 7.6% CAGR.
Around the world regulatory bodies are putting strict measures in place to curb emissions and reduce environment impact from industrial activities. Consequently, industries have been compelled to take up cleaner options while greening their supply chains as well as adopting strategic shift towards using green eco-friendly products such as bio-based or green solvents which meet these regulations.
Consumer preferences for environmentally-friendly products also shape Green & Bio-Based Solvents market dynamics. As the knowledge about ecological footprinting increases people go for products produced with sustainable ingredients such as green solvents. This behavioral change creates an avalanche for firms’ decision making where companies start incorporating green, biobased solvents into their production systems so as to satisfy ever growing demands for Eco-conscious products.
Technological advancements coupled with innovations are other crucial factors shaping Green & Bio-Based Solvent markets. That ongoing research & development initiative may lead to discoveries of new extraction process that could be more efficient than present-day ones and subsequent formulations for bio-based solvents. Such improvements in performance of green solvents make them a viable choice against the conventional ones.
 
Another influencing factor on Green & Bio-Based Solvent markets is push towards circular economy practices. Industries are embracing recycling and reuse approach with an aim to reducing waste materials being used completely. Circular economy places recycling or reusing at its core while also encouraging use of green solvents manufactured from waste products or commonly referred to as recycled input materials (RIM). Acceptance by industry players has been driven by the need for more sustainable and resource efficient industrial ecosystem that leads to the uptake of bio-based solvents.
