Expanded Solvents Industry Growth Rate Anticipated to Reach 5.1% by 2034
The global Residual Solvents Market is on an upward trajectory, with a projected size of USD 1.6 billion by 2034, and a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2034 [2]. This market growth is primarily driven by applications in pharmaceuticals, along with food and beverage, cosmetics, and other sectors.
In terms of market share, pharmaceuticals hold a dominant position, capturing more than 61.3% of the market [1]. This dominance can be attributed to the rising demand for safe and high-quality products in the pharmaceutical industry, which necessitates stringent testing and compliance with regulations.
Gas Chromatography (GC) is the dominant technology used in the Residual Solvents Market, accounting for more than 62.9% of the market share [1]. This technology's prevalence is due to its ability to accurately and effectively identify and quantify residual solvents, ensuring product safety and compliance with regulations.
North America leads the Residual Solvents Market, accounting for nearly half of the total value [2]. This leadership is largely due to the region's robust regulatory and industry framework, which prioritises product safety and quality control.
Notable players in the Residual Solvents Market include LECO, Bruker, Fuli Instruments, Agilent Technologies, and Beifenruili. These companies are continually innovating to improve residual solvents analysis, with LECO's Pegasus BT 4D GC×GC-TOFMS enabling high-resolution residual solvents profiling, and Agilent Technologies enhancing its 7890B GC System with advanced residual solvents testing capabilities.
In India, the chemical industry contributes approximately 7% to the country's GDP as of 2022. To strengthen domestic manufacturing and enhance quality control, government initiatives like the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and the Scheme for Promotion of Bulk Drug Parks have been implemented [1].
The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) in India mandates that pharmaceutical solvent losses not exceed 5% of the annual storage inventory. To meet this requirement, companies like Fuli Instruments have developed GC-9720 series instruments that incorporate dual detectors (FID/ECD) for residual solvents, improving pharmaceutical quality control.
Bruker's SCION GC-MS systems now support residual solvents analysis with Compass CDS software for automated workflows, streamlining the process for companies. Beifenruili has introduced the GC-2060 gas chromatograph with FID and HS for residual solvents, targeting Chinese pharmacopeia standards.
In conclusion, the Residual Solvents Market is poised for steady growth, driven by the need to ensure product safety and compliance with regulations in various industries. With advancements in technology and government initiatives, the market is expected to continue its upward trajectory in the coming years.
