Market Overview

Global Deep Eutectic Solvents Market size and share is currently valued at USD 165.68 million in 2024 and is anticipated to generate an estimated revenue of USD 676.12 Million by 2034, according to the latest study by Polaris Market Research. Besides, the report notes that the market exhibits a robust 15.1% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the forecasted timeframe, 2025 – 2034

The Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) Market is witnessing significant growth as industries increasingly adopt sustainable, eco-friendly, and versatile solvents for chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and material sciences. Deep eutectic solvents are mixtures of two or more components that form a eutectic with a melting point lower than that of the individual constituents. DES are valued for their low toxicity, biodegradability, non-flammability, and tunable chemical properties, making them an attractive alternative to conventional organic solvents.

Market growth is driven by increasing regulatory pressure to reduce environmental impact, rising demand for green chemistry solutions, and ongoing research into novel applications. DES are used in extraction processes, electrochemistry, catalysis, and biomass processing, with expanding interest from pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing industries due to their high solubility and selective extraction capabilities.
