The solvent evaporation market was valued at US$ 470.77 million in 2020 and it is projected to reach US$ 821.41 million by 2028; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% during 2021–2028.
Solvent evaporation involves emulsification of polymer in aqueous phase and dispersion in a volatile solvent like dichloromethane, chloroform, and ethyl acetate. Then the solvent is evaporated using high temperature, vacuum, or by continuous stirring. Size of the particles can be controlled by adjusting parameters like manipulating evaporation temperature, controlling the rate of evaporation, manipulating stirring rate, etc. This method is being practiced for the nanoparticles developed using respective polymers such as, PLA, PLGA, PCL, polyhydroxybutyrate, etc. loaded with various drugs like tetanus toxoid, testosterone, loperamide, cyclosporin A, and indomethacin. Solvent evaporators are widely used in processes such as microencapsulation and are required to prepare polymeric nanoparticles for various pharmaceutical formulations. Technological advancements in solvent evaporation systems, such as centrifugal concentration, freeze-drying, and high-power cold traps, have led to enhanced evaporation and improved solvent recovery, with lesser environmental impact.
The factors such as increasing expenditure on R&D, growing development of large-molecule biopharmaceuticals, surging demand for pure samples in end-use markets drive the growth of the solvent evaporation market. However, inaccuracies in results and wastage of resources due to uneasiness associated with solvent evaporation hinder the Solvent evaporation market growth.
