2013 bio-based solvents market
Total European solvents market is estimated with 5 million tonnes yearly.
Different sources (Dechema, Fraunhofer Institute, ESIG) estimate today’s bio-based solvents volume with 50 to 100 KT (1 to 2%)
JRC Report 2013 (EUR EN) gives a market of 630 KT bio- based solvents.
Difference is identified to be related to the ethanol supply chain.
An European market of 630 KT bio-based solvents can be confirmed considering bio-ethanol used directly as a solvent or as a feedstock for other solvents.

33. Solvents – not updated in 2015
Solvents and the Ethanol case (source NNFCC and industry):
Ethanol global production 2008: 61 million tonnes (> 90% bio-based)
Most applications in fuels and food & beverages
Ca. 6 million tonnes for the industry
Part of ethanol is used directly as a solvent, part blended with other solvents (e.g. ETOH/ETAC blend for inks), part used for downstream products (solvents like ETAC or non-solvents like ethylene, acetic acid…)
Applications may switch back and forward considering market conditions
The solvents application of ETOH, being bio-based or not, is very low compared with biofuel but as well industrial applications considering for example the chain ethanol  ethylene  polyethylene
Bio-ethanol from biomass is a mature market being highly impacted by policies and incentives.

34. Solvents – not updated in 2015
Prediction (what can we reasonably say today)
Main solvents application are ethanol and downstream products or blends
Development of ethanol will remain highly affected by regional and local policies
Other bio-based solvents (alcohols, acetates) are mainly oxygenated solvents and have very low volumes representing no more than 1% of the market
Their development will depend on competitive production conditions
Today, it is not possible for the solvents industry to give serious fact based prediction of bio-based solvents market.

35. Solvents – not updated in 2015
Some additional considerations in the bio-based solvents context
Feedstock availability at competitive conditions
Competitive production process
Pull from downstream users
Long term predictability of legal and incentives conditions
Standardization will give the frame for companies and downstream users to develop their own bio-based strategies
