logoMarket Overview

White spirit is a clear, translucent liquid generated from petroleum that is commonly used as an organic solvent in painting and other purposes. The increased use of white spirits in the end-use sectors of paints and coatings, adhesives, and inks and dyes is driving global market demand. White spirit is frequently used as a cleaning solvent, degreasing solvent, and aerosol solvent due to its combination of aliphatic and alicyclic hydrocarbons. White spirit is also used in wood preservation solvents, varnishes, and lacquer solvents, among other things. All of these reasons contribute to the global white spirits market's demand. Due to its widespread use as a paint thinner and a cleaning agent for paint brushes, the paint industry is the greatest consumer of the white spirit. The addition of white spirit reduces the viscosity of the paint and speeds up the drying process. Furthermore, the white spirit aiding the smoothness of paint products is another significant aspect that raises the global market's demand and, as a result, is expected to give new potential chances during the projected period.

The cleansing agent white spirit is quite effective. It's a powerful solution that's well-known for its adaptability and efficacy. While painting, it can be used as a solvent to erase mistakes. It can also be used to dissolve gum and resins that have become embedded in garments or carpets. It's often used as a cleaning agent for car parts and heavy machinery in the automotive industry. It can remove even the most stubborn oil and chemical stains. With white spirit, even dried paint that has thickened can be dissolved and readily removed. White spirit can also be used to clean and polish wooden furniture and flooring. Governments' strict controls on building and construction for various initiatives, such as creating homes for homeless poor people, will drive the demand for white spirits, as building a home also necessitates the application of paint. As painting a house without white thinner or spirit is impossible. As a result, the white spirit has become an essential component of the building and construction sector.

logo Impact of COVID - 19

COVID-19 had a negative impact on the market in 2020. As a result of the pandemic situation, various countries throughout the world went into lockdown to prevent the virus from spreading. This harmed demand for white spirit in a variety of applications such as paint thinner, fuel, degreasing agent, and others, as production units in industries such as paints and coatings, construction, automotive, and others were forced to shut down due to labour shortages and supply chain disruptions. However, in 2021, the situation is likely to improve, benefiting the industry over the forecast period. In the medium term, the market's growth is being driven by rising demand from the paints and coatings industry, as well as increased infrastructure development.

The complete research study looks at both the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the White Spirit market. Both the demand and supply sides of the market have been investigated.

logoSegmentation Analysis

The global White Spirit market is segregated based on Type, Flash Point, and Application.

By Type, Solvent extracted white spirit, commonly known as Type 2 white spirit, is a mixture of hydrocarbons derived as a raffinate from the solvent extraction process. The expanding demand for type 2 white spirit is primarily driven by the paint and coatings, adhesives, and cleaning chemical industries. Another key element driving the growing demand for type 2 white spirit is the increasing use of these compounds in various end-use industries such as automotive, construction, composites, and chemicals.

By Application, the largest application segment of the white spirits market is thinner and solvent. White spirit is used as a thinner and is an essential ingredient in the production of solvent-based paints and coatings. White spirit is used as a thinner to lessen the viscosity of the paint and allow for a slower rate of evaporation. As a result, white spirit-thinned paints dry to a smoother surface and produce a leveled coat on the surface they're applied. The rising demand for new homes as a result of the growing number of nuclear families has resulted in the development of new residential and commercial structures, which is projected to continue. The building industry's expansion is boosting demand for paints and coatings in these areas, which will have a direct impact on white spirit demand.
