Oxygenated Solvents Market Overview
Oxygenated Solvents market size is estimated to reach US$45.2 billion by 2027 after growing at a CAGR of 7.8% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Oxygenated solvents are different types of organic solvents such as alcohol, esters and glycol ethers whose chemical structure contains carbon and hydrogen atoms and are produced through the chemical reaction from olefin. Due to their high solvency and purity rate, such solvents have major applicability in the automotive, aerospace, building & construction and agriculture sectors for paints & coatings, adhesives, concrete additives and intermediates applications. This is influencing the oxygenated solvents market. Construction activities have also seen a surge over the year due to the growing demand for residential units resulting in significant growth in the building & construction sector. According to Mexico’s National Institute of Statistics and Geography, in Q2 of 2021, the construction industry in Mexico posted a high year-on-year growth rate of 33.8%. In addition to this, rapid growth witnessed by the automotive, aircraft and cleaning sectors is also driving the growth of the oxygenated solvents industry. However, VOC regulations by government organizations are anticipated to pose a challenge in the market growth of oxygenated solvents, thereby negatively impacting the oxygenated solvents market size. The lockdown caused due to COVID-19 led to the closures of plants, factories and sites in major end-users of oxygenated solvents such as automotive, aerospace and building & construction. This decreased the market revenue and negatively impacted the Oxygenated Solvents industry outlook.

Oxygenated Solvents Market Drivers
Rapid Increase in Automotive Production:
Types
of organic solvents such as ketones, glycol ethers and esters have high
applicability in automotive paints & coatings, surfactants intermediate and
adhesives due to their good solvency power. The rapid development in the
automotive sector resulting from technology upgradation, growing investment
inflows and high demand for fuel-efficient vehicles has increased the
automotive production scale. According to the International
Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, in 2021, global automotive
production stood at 80.1 million units, showing a 3% increase in comparison to
