Concise Analysis of the International Solvents Market - Forecasts to 2018
M2 - Wed Feb 05, 5:04AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/m7822c/solvents_market) has announced the addition of the "Concise Analysis of the International Solvents Market - Forecasts to 2018" report to their offering. Organic solvents find wide use in manufacturing industries and all traditional solvent applications. Conventional solvents can be further classified into alcohols, glycol ethers, hydrocarbons, ketones, acetate esters and chlorinated solvents based on their chemical composition. Paints and coatings are required in abundance by the manufacturing and construction industries. The high growth in the construction sector of the BRIC nations has been influential in the rising demand for solvents. In addition, solvents are extensively used in applications such as printing-inks, pharmaceuticals, sealant and adhesives, and the demand generated from these applications for organic solvents have been driving the market. However, the volatile pricing of crude oil in the international market coupled with environmental issues are a serious restraint to this market. On the other hand, mounting regulatory pressures regarding the use of organic solvents have opened up avenues for alternate green solvents, which are atmosphere friendly and pose little or no health hazards to the people exposed to it. Alcohol-based solvents emerged as the leading product segment with the largest market share of 29.7% terms of volume, in 2011. Hydrocarbon solvents followed alcohol in terms of market volume share and are projected to lose market share in the coming years to other types of solvents. Other solvents including bio-based solvents are expected to witness fastest growth over the forecast period, due to their eco friendly properties. Chlorinated solvents have the smallest market share mainly due to the toxic effects of the solvents. Key Topics Covered: 1 Preface 2 Executive Summary 3 Solvents - Industry Analysis 4 Solvents Market: Product Segment Analysis 5 Solvents Market: Application Analysis 6 Solvents Market: Regional Analysis 7 Company Profiles Companies Mentioned: - BASF SE - British Petroleum - Celanese Corporation - Dow Oxygenated Solvents - DuPont - ExxonMobil Chemical Ltd - Huntsman International LLC - Maruzen Petrochemical Co Ltd - Sasol Solvents - Shell Chemicals - Solvay Chemicals For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/m7...nts_market

Concise Analysis of the International Solvents Market - Forecasts to 2018
M2 - Wed Feb 05, 5:04AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/m7822c/solvents_market) has announced the addition of the "Concise Analysis of the International Solvents Market - Forecasts to 2018" report to their offering. Organic solvents find wide use in manufacturing industries and all traditional solvent applications. Conventional solvents can be further classified into alcohols, glycol ethers, hydrocarbons, ketones, acetate esters and chlorinated solvents based on their chemical composition. Paints and coatings are required in abundance by the manufacturing and construction industries. The high growth in the construction sector of the BRIC nations has been influential in the rising demand for solvents. In addition, solvents are extensively used in applications such as printing-inks, pharmaceuticals, sealant and adhesives, and the demand generated from these applications for organic solvents have been driving the market. However, the volatile pricing of crude oil in the international market coupled with environmental issues are a serious restraint to this market. On the other hand, mounting regulatory pressures regarding the use of organic solvents have opened up avenues for alternate green solvents, which are atmosphere friendly and pose little or no health hazards to the people exposed to it. Alcohol-based solvents emerged as the leading product segment with the largest market share of 29.7% terms of volume, in 2011. Hydrocarbon solvents followed alcohol in terms of market volume share and are projected to lose market share in the coming years to other types of solvents. Other solvents including bio-based solvents are expected to witness fastest growth over the forecast period, due to their eco friendly properties. Chlorinated solvents have the smallest market share mainly due to the toxic effects of the solvents.
