Polyurethane Market Rising With Growth In New Technology Trends Research By 2025
The global polyurethane
market size is expected to reach USD 105.2
billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc.,
registering a 7.0% CAGR during the forecast period.Rising awareness regarding
resource conservation and optimum manufacturing processes and low labor costs
in developing countries are factors estimated to fuel overall market demand
through 2025.
Growing demand for bio-based
polyurethane (PU) as well as demand for innovation and sustainability are key
factors driving the industry. Rising government interferences in order to
reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are also estimated to have a positive
impact on overall market growth.
Developed countries such as U.S.,
Canada, Germany, and U.K. have reduced carbon dioxide emissions over the past
few years owing to increasing environmental concerns. The U.S. EPA and National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued regulations under the Energy
Policy and Conservation Act to enhance fuel efficiency of vehicles and reduce
carbon emissions.
Prominent players are incorporating
bio-based PU to reduce reliance on conventional petrochemical derived PU and
reduce the risks associated with it. Geographically, Asia Pacific emerged as a
leading regional PU market in 2018 whereas Europe and North America are
estimated to exhibit moderate growth over the forecast period.

The global polyurethane market size was estimated at USD 65.5
billion in 2018, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.0% over the forecast period. Increasing
demand for lightweight and durable products in the automotive, construction,
and electronics industries is estimated to boost overall market growth in the
upcoming period.
Growing end-use industries in developing nations and the
product’s versatility and unique physical properties are estimated to fuel
overall industrial growth. Moreover, rising use of innovative production
technologies for polyurethane (PU) with advanced characteristics is estimated
to have a positive impact on overall market growth. For instance, development
of TPU and PU-acrylate oligomers that are blended and cured by radiation to
achieve semi-interpenetrating polymer networks (IPN).
Further key findings from the report suggest:
·
By product, the flexible foam segment
accounted for the largest revenue share of 26.6% in 2018 owing to rising use as
a cushioning material for furniture, bedding and mattresses, seating, and other
soft products in several end-use industries
·
The elastomers segment is estimated to grow
at the fastest pace over the forecast period owing to introduction of PU
elastomers with intrinsic, self-healing properties that restore product
appearance despite any damage. These are estimated to revolutionize the
industry and boost segment share
·
Based on application, the construction
sector accounted for the largest polyurethane market share in 2018 and is
estimated to exhibit a revenue-based CAGR of 6.8% in the upcoming period owing
to rapid industrialization in developing countries and its excellent insulation
properties
·
The automotive sector is estimated to
register steady growth over the forecast period owing to high mechanical
strength, durability, and lightweight properties to reduce vehicle weight
·
Companies such as BASF and Shepherd
Chemical Company have introduced novel products, technologies, and applications
for PU, which is expected to revolutionize the industry over the forecast
period.
However,
strict environmental policies owing to release of toxic gases on burning of
fossil fuels and fluctuating raw material costs are factors estimated to hamper
the market over the forecast period. Basic raw materials required for
manufacturing polyurethane include MDI, TDI, and other polyester polyols.
Furthermore, the U.S. adopted key reforms in the form of the Toxic Substances
Control Act (TSCA) in order to encourage environmental conservation by using
eco-friendly ways of product manufacturing.
Rising
use of bio-based materials is creating new opportunities and will boost
consumption of PU manufactured from renewable raw materials. A shift in trend
toward replacement of conventional heavy materials like metals with
light-weight and high-performance plastics is boosting the use of polyurethane
in the automotive industry. However, pricing and other strategic initiatives of
the market depend on top industrial players.
