Low Toxicity to Benefit Alkylene Carbonates Market

Pune, India, February,2019/MRFR Press Release/- Market Research Future has published a half-cooked research report on the Global Alkylene Carbonates Market.

Market Synopsis

Market Research Future (MRFR) postulates that the global alkylene carbonates market is predicted to demonstrate a healthy CAGR during the forecast period (2016-2023) as they possess properties such as low toxicity and low volatile organic content. Alkylene carbonates are referred to as cyclic esters of carbonic acid and are used in several formulations comprising microemulsifiable concentrates, emulsifiable concentrates, microemulsions, suspoemulsions, and concentrated emulsions.

Market Potential and Pitfalls

Alkylene carbonates possess properties such as low toxicity, low volatile organic content (VOC), high boiling point, biodegradable in nature, and low- odor, which makes them an excellent solvent choice. Such benefits of alkylene carbonates are estimated to propel the market growth throughout the estimated period. Alkylene carbonates find applications in several end-use industries like cosmetics & personal care, agriculture, textiles, and paints & coatings. Owing to the increasing demand for agricultural products, accelerating consumerism, and growth in the construction sector, the end-use industries are predicted to flourish. Moreover, the emerging nations promise high growth of the market owing to the increasing demand from end-use industry as a result of increasing disposable income. Such factors are fueling the market growth throughout the assessment period. Additionally, alkylene carbonates are extensively used in lithium batteries, which is further expanding the market growth across the globe. As alkylene carbonate is a compound with low emission and low toxicity, they are environmental-friendly. The rising concern regarding the environment is highly supporting the use of ecological solvents, thereby fostering the market growth globally.

On the contrary, the global alkylene carbonates market is presumed to experience a slowdown owing to the scarcity of raw materials coupled with the regulations imposed by the regional government.
