The white spirit market is predicted to rise at a CAGR of 6% during the forecast period of 2023 to 2030. White spirit is a petroleum-based, transparent, translucent liquid used as an organic solvent in many applications, including painting. White spirits reduce paint's viscosity, which slows drying. After white spirits-thinned paints dry, a smooth, level coat is generated and painted over. White spirits are chemically stable and noncorrosive. Solvents and diluents are used in paint and varnish, textiles, metal cleaning, and rubber. White spirit is also called Mineral Turpentine Oil (MTO) in Australia and New Zealand. In the US and Canada, it's called mineral spirit. It's a petrochemical solvent made from crude oil's naphtha and kerosene. White spirits are clear, flammable liquids. Their flashpoint is 21°C to 68°C. White spirits boil between 150°C and 220°C. Increased usage of white spirits in paints, adhesives, inks, and dyes is driving global demand. White spirit can be used as a degreasing solvent, cleaning solvent, and aerosol solvent since it contains aliphatic and alicyclic hydrocarbons. White spirit is used in wood preservatives, varnishes, and lacquer solvents. The paint industry is the biggest consumer of white spirit because it's used as a paint thinner and brush cleaner.
The paint industry's use of white spirits is expected to boost the global market. White spirit decreases paint's viscosity, which speeds drying. White spirit, which helps paint products be smoother, is another reason that enhances demand and is expected to create new growth prospects throughout the projected period. White spirit is used to preserve wood, remove oil, prevent corrosion in metalworking fluids, and clean and polish cars. All these causes raise white spirit demand.

White spirit's health risks hinder the global market's growth. Mineral spirit in the environment may or may not cause health hazards. White spirits can be inhaled, ingested, or used topically. The hazards of drinking or being exposed to white spirits depend on the amount drank or inhaled and the length of exposure. Prolonged exposure causes heart difficulties and pneumonitis (serious lung damage). These reasons will likely slow the global demand for white spirits. White spirits' toxicity, high cost, and hazardous nature are expected to hinder their global market.Substitute medications are also reducing demand for white spirits. Instead of white spirit, turpentine can thin oil paint. Turpentine can clean painting equipment. Denatured alcohol can be used instead of white spirit to clean metal. It's greener. Clean dirt and adhesion with acetone instead of white spirit.
White spirits are in high demand in the coatings, vehicle, manufacturing, building and construction, and building and construction industries in emerging nations. White spirits could be fuelled by home demand. White spirit is used to clean paint brushes, vehicle parts, tools, as a charcoal grill starter fluid, and to remove adhesive residue from non-porous surfaces. Increasing demand for domestic applications is projected.
Type 1 will have the highest CAGR over the forecast period. Hydro-desulfurization is used to purify type 1 white spirit, which contains C7 to C12 hydrocarbons. Type 1 white spirit is used in extraction and cleaning solvent industries due to its high boiling point (90-230 degrees Celsius). Type 1 white spirit is used as an active solvent in aerosol and other wood preservatives, driving global demand.
Type 2 will be the second-fastest growing white spirits segment. Raffinate type 2 white spirit is obtained during solvent extraction. This is solvent-extracted white spirit. Paint, adhesives, and cleaning chemical manufacturers are pushing demand for type 2 white spirit. The expanding usage of type 2 white spirit in several end-use industries, including automotive, construction, composites, and chemicals, also contributes to its rising demand.
The low flash point white spirit grade earned the largest revenue in 2020 and has the fastest CAGR. Low flash point white spirit can be used in paints, varnishes, and asphalt products. This boosts global demand. Paint thinner was the highest-grossing application in 2020 and will continue to rise. White spirit may be made from petroleum distillate, making it a suitable solvent for paint thinner. This drives demand for white spirits in paint thinner.
The global market for white spirits is expected to rise due to its use in paints, varnishes, waxes, adhesives, and printing ink. It's also used in cleaning and degreasing solvents and paint thinner, which boost global demand. White spirit can be used as a solvent to extract oil-bituminous rock organic components from minerals, which is projected to boost growth. Coal samples include impurities that must be cleaned before usage. White spirit is used to extract organic liquids from a coal sample. White spirit and aromatic chemicals can be used to extract or process camelina alkyd resin. This should boost worldwide demand.
A surge in disposable income, urbanisation, lifestyle preferences, and construction projects have fuelled the growth of the white spirits sector. Asia-Pacific is expected to increase strongly during the predicted period. This is because building and industrial industries, including automotive, have grown rapidly. Rise in low aromatic white spirits subsegment expected to drive white spirit market growth.Europe's market should develop steadily over the projection period. The constantly developing auto industry helps boost the market's revenue. White spirit quickly degreases and cleans car parts. 60% of Western Europe's white spirit is used in varnishes, lacquers, and paints. Packaging, furniture, and metal industries will drive this expansion.
White spirit market has several players. Several manufacturers are focusing on R&D for low aromatic white spirits (LAWS) to gain a long-term, sustainable competitive advantage. Major corporations are also acquiring small and major white spirit manufacturers to diversify their product lines. This is done to increase market share and clientele. Royal Dutch Shell, Total SA, ExxonMobil, Idemitsu Kosan Co. Ltd, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited, Indian Oil Corporation Limited, and ThaiOil Company are the top white spirits competitors (Japan). Most of these large companies operate in numerous countries and have a broad distribution network.
