Key Dynamics of High Purity Solvents Market
Drivers
Growing Adoption of High Purity Solvents in Pharmaceutical Industries
The market for high purity solvents is growing at a rapid pace due to the increasing demand for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other fine chemicals. Fine chemicals are defined as molecules with a molecular weight of less than 1,000 Daltons. They are used in a wide range of applications including cosmetics, detergents, food additives, and pharmaceuticals. Active pharmaceutical ingredients are the key components in drugs that are responsible for their therapeutic effects. These molecules are often very large and complex, and they must be manufactured to exacting standards of purity. In many cases, the only way to achieve the required level of purity is to use high purity solvents
In recent years, high-purity pharmaceutical grade solvents have played a key role in streamlining the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients in the global high purity solvents market. Consistent quality is essential for the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), which demands a very high level of purity. As a result, the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), which must adhere to the highest standards, depends significantly on high purity solvents which must have a purity of up to 99.1%. For the pharmaceutical industry, this is fundamentally important. Additionally, the solvents are used in analysis and synthesis in research and development labs and are essential in the manufacturing process for workup, crystallization, washing of purified substances, and extraction.
Restraint
There are several factors that are hampering the demand for high purity solvents market.
Opportunity
Rising application of high purity solvents in Agri-food and personal care
For fertilizers and crop protection & food production, high purity solvents help in the formulation of the most effective agrochemicals. It aids in delivering cost-effective formulations and helping to optimize the dosage of the active ingredient. As a result of their ability to spread evenly and dry slowly, which increases absorbency, they aid in reducing the amount of plant protection product needed in the high purity solvents market.
In the meantime, hydrocarbon solvents are employed in oil-based sprays to coat the crops' leaves and provide insect protection. Additionally, ultra-pure solvents are also used for food production as well which are safe for food contact due to its optimum solvency power food-grade hexane which is used all over the world to extract oil from seeds.
While in cosmetics, personal care items, ethanol-based fragrances, and perfumes, solvents serve as a carrier. They have the unique ability to disintegrate the fragrance of flowers and other fragrant plants, turning them into aerosol fragrances. Additionally, solvents dissolve oils, pigments, and more to produce cosmetics like lipstick, eye shadow, and nail polish (acetate) that highlight the best features in the high purity solvents market. Therefore, the rising use of high purity solvents in agri-food and personal care is predicted to have a medium short-term impact, but a high medium- and long-term impact.
Market Segmentation
Type Analysis:
Based on type, the global high purity solvents market is divided into ethanol, hexane, acetone, heptane, methanol, pentane, and isopropyl alcohol. Acetone segment dominated the global market in 2021 and is projected to continue holding the dominance in the years to come. At the same time, the segment is likely to continue enjoying the highest growth rate during the forecast period, 2022-2030 thanks to wide usage range across industries. Wherein, acetone is extensively used in the pharmaceutical and laboratory industries. It is used in the manufacturing of pills and liquid medications in the pharmaceutical industry as acetone is necessary for the drug's effectiveness. Acetone is also a common ingredient in skin creams, makeup, and other personal care products as well. The solvent is also used in laboratories because it can be used to rinse glass equipment, which speeds up the drying process.
On the other hand, the ethanol segment held the second largest share of the high purity solvents market as it has wide application in paints, cosmetics, detergents, and perfumes. In addition, ethanol is an essential ingredient in many products and alcoholic drinks.
Grade Analysis:
By grade, the high purity solvents market is segmented into HPLC solvents, HPLC Isocratic solvents, HPLC gradient solvents, HPLC plus solvents, LC-MS Solvents, and UHPLC-MS solvent. Wherein, the HPLC segment to continue enjoying the highest segmental revenue on account of wide acceptance in the market especially in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
Whereas, the UHPLC-MS segment is anticipated to grow with the fastest CAGR during the forecast period, 2022-2030. This is explained by the segment's higher throughput and improved capacity for separation as UHPLC is extensively utilized, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry. The expanding analytical industry and laboratory R&D are additional factors contributing to the forecasted increase in demand for UHPLC-MS solvent.
