Deep Eutectic Solvents Market To Reach $374.2 Million By 2030

Deep Eutectic Solvents Market Growth & Trends

The global deep eutectic solvents market size is estimated to reach USD 374.2 million by 2030, registering to grow at a CAGR of 14.5% from 2025 to 2030 according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The deep eutectic solvents (DESs) industry is driven by the global shift toward sustainable and green chemistry solutions. As regulatory pressure intensifies against toxic and volatile organic solvents, DESs have emerged as non-toxic, biodegradable alternatives that align with evolving environmental and safety standards. Their low vapor pressure, high thermal stability, and tunable physicochemical properties enable industries to reformulate processes while complying with stricter emission norms.

DESs offer superior solubilization and extraction capabilities, supporting greener synthesis routes in polymer processing, surface treatments, and specialty chemical formulations. Advancements in DES design now allow for tailored performance in high-value applications such as coatings, adhesives, and composites.

DESs formulated from organic salts and metal hydrates are particularly valued for their ability to solubilize metal ions, support redox reactions, and remain stable under harsh conditions. Their low volatility and high ionic conductivity make them ideal for applications in metal surface treatment, battery electrolytes, and catalytic systems. Regulatory efforts to eliminate hazardous substances are further accelerating adoption, especially in Europe and Asia.

Asia-Pacific leads the global DES market, driven by the solvents’ effectiveness in extracting bioactive compounds such as phenolic, flavonoids, and proteins from plant-based sources. These natural solvents enhance yield and bioactivity while supporting clean-label, residue-free production, fostering innovation in nutraceuticals and fortified food products across dynamic markets like China, India, and Southeast Asia.

Deep Eutectic Solvents Market Report Highlights

• The organic salts + metal salts segment accounted for the largest market revenue share in 2024. The growth is primarily driven by their cost-effectiveness compared to ionic liquids, strong solvation capabilities for metal oxides and salts, and expanding applications in metal extraction, electroplating, and battery technologies due to their high thermal stability and ionic conductivity.

• Asia Pacific dominates the market and is projected to register a CAGR of 14.3% from 2025 to 2030. A key application driving regional demand is gold extraction, where DESs are increasingly used as a safer alternative to traditional cyanide-based methods due to their ability to selectively dissolve gold with lower toxicity. According to the World Gold Council, China produced 378.2 tons of gold in 2024.

• In November 2023, GATTEFOSSÉ SAS launched Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NaDES) as eco-friendly, biobased alternatives for advanced plant extraction in cosmetic formulations. These NaDES-based solutions enhance phytochemical content and improve biological efficacy, delivering notable anti-aging and skin health benefits. Aligned with Green Chemistry principles, the innovation replaces conventional solvents with safe, stable, and regulation-compliant alternatives specifically tailored for cosmetic applications.
