Aprotic Solvents Market Analysis

The Global Aprotic Solvents market is projected to register a CAGR of above 3% during the forecast period (2021-2026).

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the oil and gas industry negatively. Due to the lockdown and restrictions posed by the government, there was very little movement of vehicles. Due to the lockdown, most factories were shut down, leading to less demand for energy, leading to a fall of 57% oil demand globally. This has negatively affected the oil and gas sector, affecting the aprotic solvents market. Moreover, the other end-user industries, including paints and coatings, adhesives, and plastics, were also affected due to the COVID-19 outbreak since construction activities were on halt in most countries across the globe. However, the relaxation of the lockdown and the opening of the markets are encouraging signs for the aprotic solvents market.

• Over the medium term, the growing demand from the oil and gas industry and increasing consumption in the pharmaceutical sector are driving the demand for the market studied.
• On the flip side, the rising demand for non-toxic substitutes to aprotic solvents and increasing environmental concerns related to aprotic solvents may hinder the growth of the aprotic solvents market in the near future.
• Polar-aprotic solvents that have shown promise in their ability to solubilize cellulose or cellulosic biomass with high efficiencies are likely to provide opportunities for the aprotic solvents market over the next five years.
• The Asia-Pacific region dominates the aprotic solvents market, owing to the soaring consumption of aprotic solvents in the adhesive, pharmaceutical, and oil and gas segments from countries such as China, India, and Vietnam.

Aprotic Solvents Industry Segmentation

The word protic means "proton", and aprotic means "no proton". The solvents with no hydrogen atom or bond are said to be aprotic solvents. Aprotic solvents have large dielectric constants and large dipole moments. However, they do not participate in hydrogen bonding. Their high polarity allows them to dissolve charged species such as various anions, including nucleophiles. Thus, these solvents are more reactive in nature. The aprotic solvents market is segmented by type, application, and geography. By type, the market is segmented into n-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), toluene, benzene, acetone, and others. By application, the market is segmented into oil and gas, plastic, pharmaceutical, electronic equipment, paints and coatings, adhesives, and others. The report also covers the market size and forecasts for the aprotic solvents market in 15 countries across major regions. For each segment, the market sizing and forecasts have been done on the basis of revenue (USD million).
