The global furfural solvent market is expected to reach USD 153.4 million by 2022, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing demand for bio-based, renewable chemicals on account of rising sustainability concerns is a vital determinant for industry growth.
Growth of key end-use industries such as paints & coatings and pharmaceuticals coupled with stringent regulations regarding synthetic chemicals is expected to have a positive influence on the market growth. Growing demand for bio-based sustainable products particularly in developed economies of North America and Europe is also expected to fuel demand for furfural solvent.
Petroleum refining was the largest application segment and accounted for over 55% of total volume in 2014. Increasing petroleum refining activities to meet increasing lubricant demand in automotive and industrial sectors is expected to drive the application segment. Pharmaceutical is expected to witness the highest growth of 16.1% from 2015 to 2022. Organic, non-toxic and bio-based chemicals have been rapidly replacing conventional solvents as intermediates in several drug formulations. High biocompatibility and non-reactivity has also made furfural solvents ideal in medical industry. Such factors are expected to fuel furfural solvent demand in pharmaceutical industry.
