Market Introduction:

Commenting on this report, an analyst from Market Research Future (MRFR)’s team said, “ Polyurethane Market Size is expected to grow at ~ 24.2 million tons by 2022.

The market witnessed escalating growth owing to high demand of lightweight and durable materials in end user industries such as construction, automotive, electronics appliances, furniture, footwear, packaging. Further, increasing demand of high performance and lightweight interior components, cushion foams in automotive parts to foster energy saving will fuel the demand for polyurethane market growth. Polyurethane do not melt on heating which is why called as thermosetting polymers. This is also expected to drive the product demand in market.

However, volatile in MDI and TDI price range which is extensively used in polyurethane production can challenge major manufacturer. fluctuation in crude oil prices may affect the polyurethane market price trend. Rising environmental concerns and lowering carbon emission and greenhouse gases has opened opportunities for manufacturers to switch to bio-based polyurethane in end user industries.

Product Segment analysis

On basis of product, Polyurethanes are segmented into rigid foam, flexible foam, adhesives & sealants, coatings, elastomers and other products. Rigid foam is widely used in insulations to increase building energy efficiency. These key properties helping the rigid foam market to grow in coming years. Flexible foams are expected to dominate the product demand owing to easy insulation in electronic appliances and construction industry. Elastomers possess high flexibility and strong impact & shock resistance which widely used in high performance materials. Thus, it is being emerging as faster growing segment in end user industries. Innovation in coatings and development of bio based polyurethane is anticipated to drive the demand in developed regions.
