Green and Bio-Based Solvents Market Report 2026

The green and bio-based solvents market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.37 billion in 2025 to $5.77 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to environmental regulation enforcement, solvent toxicity concerns, growth of green chemistry, industrial cleaning demand, early bio solvent commercialization.

The green and bio-based solvents market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.57 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to carbon footprint reduction targets, expansion of sustainable manufacturing, consumer preference for green products, innovation in bio solvent performance, pharmaceutical sector demand. Major trends in the forecast period include rising replacement of petroleum solvents, growing adoption in industrial cleaning, expansion of bio based paint and coating solutions, increasing regulatory push for low toxicity solvents, higher demand from personal care formulations.

The rising consumer demand for eco-friendly and sustainable products is expected to drive the growth of the green and bio-based solvents market in the coming years. Eco-friendly and sustainable products are goods designed, produced, and used in ways that minimize environmental impact, conserve natural resources, and promote long-term ecological balance. This growing demand is driven by increasing environmental awareness, as consumers recognize the effects of their purchasing choices on the planet and seek products that minimize harm to ecosystems. Green and bio-based solvents support this trend by providing safer, renewable, and environmentally responsible alternatives to traditional petroleum-based solvents, reducing chemical hazards and minimizing ecological impact. For example, in April 2024, Nutraceuticals World, a U.S.-based media company, reported that in 2023, sales of natural and organic products increased by 4.8 percent, reaching $209 billion. Therefore, rising consumer demand for eco-friendly and sustainable products is driving growth in the green and bio-based solvents market.

Leading companies in the green and bio-based solvents market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as carbon-neutral solvent portfolios, to meet the increasing demand for sustainable chemical alternatives. A carbon-neutral solvent portfolio includes solvents whose overall carbon emissions are balanced or offset, ensuring that production and use have a net-zero impact on the climate. For instance, in January 2024, Solvay S.A., a France-based chemical company, launched the Augeo carbon-neutral portfolio at the American Cleaning Institute’s 2024 Annual Meeting. The portfolio includes solvents made entirely from renewable feedstocks that are readily biodegradable and formulated with low VOC (LVP VOC) systems. These products support cleaning and fragrance applications by offering strong solubilization power, low odor, slow evaporation, and a certified carbon-neutral lifecycle through high-quality offsets and renewable feedstock sourcing. The portfolio is designed to replace conventional petrochemical cleaning solvents while providing a lower carbon footprint and enhanced sustainability credentials.

In February 2025, ERM International Group Limited, a UK-based company promoting the integration and adoption of green solvents including bio-based and recycled carbon solvents, partnered with Ayming to advance the adoption of green solvents in sustainable pharmaceutical manufacturing. The partnership aims to establish a supply-chain consortium and develop innovative solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote eco-friendly practices in pharmaceutical production. Ayming UK Limited is a UK-based professional services company.
