6origins
Solvents suppliers on Freshdi are spread over 6 countries, led by India at 30.0%, as of 14 November 2026.
Only 10 suppliers are currently active in the Solvents category, and just one of them updated a listing in the last 30 days — though four did in the past 90. This suggests a slow turnover in supply, meaning buyers should treat each supplier as a potential long-term partner rather than a one-off option. The limited number of active suppliers means every conversation carries more weight and requires careful vetting. There are 14 active listings for Solvents, which is a small but focused catalog. For buyers with specific chemical grades or packaging needs, the listings offer a direct path to matching requirements without needing to start from scratch. The low volume also implies that suppliers are likely prioritizing a few key buyers over broad reach. Six countries supply Solvents, with India making up 30.0% of the exporters. This geographic spread provides some flexibility for buyers seeking alternatives to India, especially if supply or compliance issues arise. While India is a key source, the presence of five other countries means buyers aren’t locked into a single origin.
Buyers posted 4 requests for Solvents globally on Freshdi in the 365 days to 14 November 2026.

How stable is this supply base?
Three separate questions, answered in order: is the product fresh, is the market busy, and can the sellers be trusted.
Is there much new product?
Solvents had 4 new listings in the last 30 days, only a handful of new listings in either month. The catalog is not growing quickly, so the offers available today are mostly from the same pool as last month. That means buyers see a consistent set of prices and pack sizes, with little change in the range of available options. Compare listing dates when evaluating offers to see which ones are closer to current availability.
Is the market busy?
9 of the 10 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, more than half joined in the last 12 months. The group is mostly composed of new sellers, which means each one has a recent listing history. The lack of long-standing suppliers means buyers have less history to rely on for consistency. Review each supplier's recent activity before contacting them.

Trade terms and how to compare quotations
A reference for every category: what the usual trade and payment terms mean, and the points to check when you compare quotations.
| Term | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EXW | Incoterm | The buyer collects the goods at the seller's premises and pays every cost from there. |
| FCA | Incoterm | The seller hands the goods, cleared for export, to the buyer's carrier at a named place. |
| FOB | Incoterm | The seller loads the goods on the vessel at the port of loading; freight is the buyer's. |
| CFR | Incoterm | The seller pays sea freight to the destination port; the risk passes once loaded. |
| CIF | Incoterm | Like CFR, and the seller also insures the goods until the destination port. |
| CPT | Incoterm | The seller pays carriage to a named place; the risk passes at the first carrier. |
| CIP | Incoterm | Like CPT, and the seller also insures the goods to the named place. |
| DAP | Incoterm | The seller delivers to a named place, ready for unloading; import duties are the buyer's. |
| DPU | Incoterm | The seller delivers and unloads the goods at a named place in the destination country. |
| DDP | Incoterm | The seller delivers to the buyer's place and pays import duties and taxes too. |

Name the Incoterm with a place, and agree it and the payment term in writing before production starts.
| Point | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Incoterm and place | Every quotation names the same Incoterm and port or place. | Prices on FOB and on CIF differ by the freight and the insurance. |
| Specification | The grade, size or composition quoted matches the one asked for. | A lower grade can hide behind a lower price. |
| Quantity and MOQ | The price is for the quantity ordered, above the minimum order. | Unit prices change with the order size. |
| Packaging | Packing type, size and labelling are stated and the same. | Custom packing adds cost. |
| Payment term | The payment term and the deposit asked. | It moves the risk between buyer and seller. |
| Lead time | The production and shipping time to the destination. | A late shipment can cost more than a higher price. |
| Documents | The certificates and export documents included. | Missing papers can block customs. |
| Validity | How long the quoted price holds. | Quotations are often valid for a limited time only. |
Ask every counterpart to quote on the same basis: only then does the lower price win.
