Sales Analysis of Solvent Recycler Market (2018 to 2022) Vs. Forecast Outlook (2023 to 2033)

Since the 1970’s European standards for chemical use and environmental protection are getting more and more stringent. These regulations apply to all industries producing chemical and other manufacturing wastes harming the environment. Going green and contributing towards environmental sustainability is the new trend being followed by manufacturers which is also helping their business in reducing overall costs.

• Short-Term Growth Projection: Saving of money, reduction of waste and safety from exposure to hazardous chemicals at disposal will drive the market for solvent recyclers in short term.
• Medium-Term Growth Projection: Governments imposing strict regulations relates to waste management and disposing of chemicals in rivers, lakes and other water bodies will drive the market for solvent recyclers in short term.
• Long-Term Growth Projection: Rising demand for recycling chemicals in lieu of saving the environment from getting more hazardous will drive the market in long term.

Over the 2018 to 2022 historical period, the Europe solvent recycler market registered a CAGR of 4.1%, and according to the Fact.MR, a market research and competitive intelligence provider, the market is projected to exhibit growth at 4.9% CAGR between 2023 and 2033.

Market share analysis of solvent recycler based on end-use industry and country is provided in a nutshell in the above image. Under the end-use segment, the “paint, finishing and coating” sub-segment is estimated to reach a market share of 24.0% in 2023.

“Rapidly rising numbers of solvent recycling companies”

Various factors are contributing to the rising demand for outsourcing of solvent recycling. A large number of medium and small-scale enterprising operating in different parts of Europe are outsourcing solvent recycling to avoid the cost of plant and machinery set-up. This is giving rise to a number of solvent recycling companies which are outsourcing the process on behalf of manufacturers from various industries. Also, the process of recycling involves lot of technical process which requires specialist operators. Solvent recycling companies play a major role for businesses that deploys large quantities of solvents and chemicals for purpose of production / cleaning etc. The need of maintaining the safe environment by removing the used chemicals from production sites is also giving rise to demand for solvent recycling companies.

“Government strict policies on waste management and promoting circular economy”

Solvent recycling is a major contributor in promoting a circular economy. It also ensures the preservation of natural resources by reducing the disposal of waste into environmental bodies and also reducing carbon emissions. European Solvent recycler group was formed under the German-based chemical distributor association whose focus was to look after promoting solvent recycling among the member companies. The objective of ESRG is fully matched to European law requirements for the efficient use and management of resources.
