Increasing number of construction projects drives growth in the paints and coating industry, which further drives the demand for aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents and thinners. The presence of numerous chemical, paint, coating, and pharmaceutical industries in China, Japan, South Korea, and India has made APAC the key leading region. The use of solvents causes adverse health effects. As such, the stringent environmental regulations inhibit the market's growth. Also, environment-friendly bio solvents pose challenges to the market's growth.

Competitive vendor landscape

There is intense competition in the global aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents and thinners market. The market is witnessing slow growth because of the emergence of environment-friendly solvents. The vendors focus on reducing the adverse effects on health and environment by creating solvents that emit less VOCs.

“Increasing developments in APAC and the rising population in China and India drive the demand for aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents and thinners. Growing economy and the emerging middle-class population segment drive development in the region. The growth rate of the paints and coatings market in APAC is estimated to be around 6%,” says Shakeel Iqbal, a lead specialty chemicals research analyst from Technavio.

Aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents and thinners are used in many industries. However, they are highly toxic. The use of these solvents is maximum in the paints and coatings industry. These are used in painting applications. Though mineral spirits are odorless and preferred over turpentine, they too are toxic.
