Pharmaceutical Solvent Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Pharmaceutical solvents refer to chemical compounds, which are majorly utilized in the manufacturing of drugs in the pharmaceutical industry. These solvents are used in dissolving other products and components finding their usage as a manufacturing block by providing the molecules required in the production of drugs and pharmaceuticals. These solvents are also utilized in the extraction and purification process. Most of the pharmaceutical solvents cannot be removed completely from the final drugs. It is, however, desired that a pharmaceutical solvent should not change the properties of either of the chemicals involved in the reaction.
