UK Aprotic Solvents Market Outlook

the demand for aprotic solvents in the united kingdom is expected to increase over the forecasted period from 2018 to 2032. this is mainly due to their desirable properties such as non-flammability, non-reactivity and miscibility with water and other common organic solvents. furthermore, the demand is expected to be driven by increased investment in the automotive and electronics industries. the availability of high-quality aprotic solvents in the u.k. is ample due to the presence of many leading chemical companies. despite this, import is likely to remain high as the u.k. is a net importer of aprotic solvents; most of the demand is satisfied by imports from countries such as the united states, germany, spain and france. hence, the import of aprotic solvents is expected to remain strong over the projected period. the growing awareness of environmental hazards posed by volatile organic compounds (vocs) is likely to further the demand for aprotic solvents as these solvents are less volatile and more environmentally friendly than standard solvents. this is likely to provide a boost to the demand for aprotic solvent in the coming years in the u.k. the increasing awareness of consumers regarding the health and environmental hazards posed by major petrochemical solvents has also opened up new opportunities for sustainable and biodegradable aprotic solvents. these eco-friendly solvents are expected to find increased usage in the u.k. in the coming years. the u.k. aprotic solvents market is likely to remain fairly fragmented over the forecasted period, with large companies likely to be cornering most of the market share. companies such as shell, bp, exxonmobil, solvent solutions, and dow chemical are expected to be the main contenders in the u.k. aprotic solvents market. in conclusion, the demand for aprotic solvents in the u.k. is expected to remain strong from 2018 to 2032. the demand is likely to be driven by an increase in the automotive and electronics industries, increasing consumer awareness of environmental hazards, and the emergence of alternately sustainable solvents.
