published by Persistence Market Research “Global Market Study on White Spirits: Sales 

of Medium Flash Grade Segment to Dominate the Market during Forecast Period; 

2016 - 2022.” The global white spirits market is projected to expand at a healthy value 

CAGR of 6.2% during the forecast period due to various factors, regarding which PMR offers 

vital insights in detail in this report. 

On the basis of product type, the market has been segmented into type 1, type 2, type 3, 

and type 0 white spirit. The type 1 segment has been estimated to account for over 53.1% 

volume share of the global white spirits market by 2015 end and is expected to register a 

healthy CAGR similar to that projected for the global white spirits market over the forecast 

period. Furthermore, the type 3 segment has been estimated to account for 15.1% volume 

share of the global white spirits market by 2015 end and is expected to expand at the 

fastest CAGR of 4.8% in terms of volume over the forecast period. 

The type 3 segment is expected to grow at a swift rate owing to the low aromatic content 

and low VOC content of the type 3 products. The type 2 segment is expected to contribute 

21.9% revenue to the overall market by 2015 end, which is projected to come down to 

21.5% by 2022, with the segment witnessing a decrease of 40 Basis Point Share. However, 

the segment is expected to expand at a healthy CAGR over the forecast period owing to 

demand from the paints and coatings industry. Type 0 segment is expected to expand at the 

slowest volume CAGR of 1.5% over the forecast period. 

On the basis of grade, the global white spirits market is segmented into the low flash grade, 

regular flash grade, and high flash grade. The regular flash grade segment is estimated to 

account for the highest volume share of 58.2% of the overall market by 2015 end and is also 

anticipated to continue to remain the fastest growing segment over the forecast period 

On the basis of application, the global white spirits market is segmented into paint thinner, 

cleansing agent, degreasing agent, fuel, disinfectant, and others (additives in oil & 

lubricants, etc.). White spirits find the highest application in the paints and coatings industry 

as a paint thinner and, thus, the paint thinner segment is estimated to expand at a highvalue 

CAGR of 6.6% over the forecast period 



The growth of the global white spirits market is mainly driven by the modest jet kerosene 

prices, steady demand from the paints and coatings industry, changing demographics, 

improving global economic conditions, and their increasing demand as a turpentine 

substitute. Other trends driving the growth of the global white spirits market include shifting 

focus towards low aromatic white spirits, and customization of product portfolio more 

specific to an application.

Market History: 

White spirits are oil-derived complex substances consisting of aliphatic, alicyclic, and 

aromatic-hydrocarbons with carbon numbers mainly in the range of C7 to C12. These are 



clear, colorless, and flammable liquids with a flash point of approximately 21- 68°C. White 

spirits have density of approximately 0.8 g/ml, slight water solubility, and vapor pressure in 

the range of 0.3 - 3.0 kPa. They have a distinct odor with an odor threshold of 0.5 - 5.0 

mg/m3 in air, due to their high content of aromatic hydrocarbons. 

White spirits are commonly used as paint thinner and as solvent for extraction, cleaning, and 

degreasing. White spirits are also used for cleaning and degreasing machine tools and parts, 

and in conjunction with cutting oil as a thread cutting and reaming lubricant. In households, 

white spirits are commonly used to clean paint brushes after use, clean auto parts and tools, 

as a starter fluid for charcoal grills, and to remove adhesive residue from non-porous 

surfaces, etc. Although not normally marketed as a fuel, white spirits are also used as an 

alternative to kerosene in portable stoves, since they are a light grade of kerosene. 

The global white spirits market is anticipated to expand at a double-digit CAGR during the 

forecast period. Growth of the global white spirits market is mainly driven by the modest jet 

kerosene prices, steady demand from the paints and coatings industry, changing demographics,
