Scope of Global Polyurethane Market Report:-

Polyurethane is plastic made by the reaction of a polyol with a diisocyanate or a polymeric isocyanate in the presence of appropriate catalysts and additives. It has some beneficial properties such as a wide range of hardness, flexibility, high load-bearing capacity, abrasion, impact resistance, tear resistance, the resistance of water, oil& grease, electric properties, strong bonding properties, mold, mildew & fungus resistance, colour ranges, economical manufacturing process, short production lead time. These polyurethanes are very soft and ductile then by using polyurethane the products of bedding, furniture, automotive, and transportation products, footwear making is very easy. Two types of polyurethane are available, polyester and polyether both polyester and polyether are elastomers mean they have elastic properties, abrasive resistance. They are better than rubber, having durability, load-bearing capacity, and excellent wear properties. A German chemist named Otto Bayer and his co-workers firstly introduced polyurethane in 1937.

Covid-19 has shown a negative impact on the growth of the global polyurethane market, due government restrictions, lockdown, travel restrictions, and shut down of factories.

Global Polyurethane Market Dynamics-

Polyurethane has a wide application in the building and construction industry as polyurethane is flexible, excellent strength-to-weight ratio, insulation properties, durable, and versatile, good thermal/mechanical performance. Also, Polyurethane is environmentally friendly nature, so, there is wide use of the rigid & sprays polyurethane foam in building and construction application. In building and construction industry, the rigid polyurethane foams forms are used for panels, roof insulation, and gap fillers for the space around doors and windows. If properly insulated, the spray foam insulation can also protect against moisture. In this way, it reduces the chances of walls that are developing harmful molds, mildews, etc. In addition, it is often used to provide noise reduction for providing temperature and moisture control, insulation. For instance; According to the latest report the Facts 2017, which was published by Plastic Europe, the demand for plastic in Europe in 2016 was about 49.9 MTn, which was about 3.1% higher as regards to 2014. About 7.5% is polyurethane of this demand, which implied an annual demand of about 3.78 MTn in 2017. Out of this 3.78 MTn, almost 70% is in the form of foam i.e. about 1.40 MTn is of flexible foam & about 1.22 MTn is of rigid foam, and about 30% is that of polyurethane elastomers & other products. The sectors according to demand, are such as demand from construction & building is about 24.5%, from automotive sector is about 19.5%, from refrigeration sector is about 21.3% and other sectors within the textile industry, usage in technology, etc. i.e. about 34.7%. Thus, with the increasing demand of polyurethane in the building and construction industry is driving the market growth.

In addition, the increased use of polyurethane in the end-use industry is also fueling the growth of the polyurethane market. Polyurethane is a versatile material in which flexible foam is used in furniture, cushioning, etc and rigid foam is used in the automotive and transportation industry. There are some advantages of flexible foam use and that is more durable, comfortable, and supportive. Besides, different applications of polyurethane in the automotive and transportation industry, it is also easy to assemble, dissemble, and recycle. Comfort, safety, lightweight, and longevity coupled with design freedom are theists of polyurethane used in the automotive and construction industry. Thus, increased use of polyurethane in the end-use industry is anticipated to boost the overall polyurethane market.

However, exposure risk and environmental concerns, increasing demand for acid-epoxy coating may hinder the growth of the polyurethane market. Despite that, growing demand for low VOC, green & sustainable polyurethane, and expansion of polyurethane recycling & recovery may offer more opportunities for the further growth of the polyurethane market.

Global Polyurethane Market Regional Analysis–

Geographically, Asia Pacific is expected to witness the fastest growth in the global polyurethane market due to an increase in demand for polyurethane for applications such as building and construction, automotive, bedding, and furniture, and transportation in this region.
