Polyurethane Resin Pricing, Demand and Supply Overview
Polyurethane resin is produced by the reaction of polyols with MDI or TDI isocyanates, yielding a versatile polymer used in coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomer applications. The largest demand pull comes from construction coating and adhesive formulation, followed by automotive and furniture applications. MDI and polyether polyol feedstock costs, construction sector demand, and regional production capacity all feed into the price.
Global polyurethane resin prices tracked close to the USD 2.16 to USD 2.40 per KG range projected for 2026, as isocyanate firming and construction demand supported the tone. US prices averaged USD 2.32 per KG in Q1 2026, up 6.4 percent from Q4 2025, as firmer MDI and polyether polyol feedstock costs elevated production expenses while spring construction coating and adhesive procurement from applicators and system integrators supported consistent buying. China's large polyurethane capacity kept it the most affordable source, while Germany remained the highest-cost reporting region.
What is Polyurethane Resin Price in August 2026?
Polyurethane resin prices held a firm tone through August 2026, tracking close to the Q1 2026 levels across all tracked regions, as firmer MDI and polyether polyol feedstock costs and steady construction coating and adhesive demand continued to support the market.
- North America (US): US polyurethane resin prices held near USD 2.29 to USD 2.35 per KG, close to the USD 2.32 per KG recorded in Q1 2026 and the highest among tracked markets, as firmer MDI and TDI isocyanate feedstock costs from aniline tightness and construction coating and adhesive procurement continued to support the level.
- APAC (China): Chinese polyurethane resin prices held near USD 1.79 to USD 1.85 per KG, close to the USD 1.82 per KG recorded in Q1 2026, as the country's large polyurethane production capacity continued to keep it the most affordable sourcing region globally.
- Europe (Germany): German polyurethane resin prices held near USD 2.72 to USD 2.78 per KG, close to the USD 2.75 per KG recorded in Q1 2026 and the highest among tracked markets, as high feedstock and energy costs continued to keep Germany the most expensive market.
Polyurethane Resin Price Forecast for 2026
The balance of supply and demand for polyurethane resin through the rest of 2026 leans cautiously firm. MDI and TDI isocyanate feedstock costs firmed from aniline and benzene tightness linked to Middle East disruptions. Construction sector activity is recovering with improving infrastructure investment and residential building activity.
The main upside risk is a sustained MDI and TDI cost increase alongside a broad construction and industrial coating sector recovery. The main downside risk is continued Chinese polyurethane resin overcapacity and weak European construction demand that limits global price recovery.
| Region | 2026 Price Range (USD/KG) | Outlook |
| Global Average | 2.16 - 2.40 | Isocyanate firming and construction demand support tone |
| United States | 2.24 - 2.48 | Steady coating and construction demand holds it the highest |
| China | 1.72 - 1.96 | Large polyurethane capacity keeps it the most affordable |
| Germany | 2.68 - 2.92 | High feedstock and energy costs keep it the most expensive |
| India | 2.18 - 2.42 | Growing construction demand holds a firm middle range |

This report is updated monthly. For real-time pricing intelligence, contact the Expert Market Research team directly.
Prices respond mainly to MDI and TDI isocyanate feedstock costs, construction sector activity, and industrial coating and adhesive demand cycles. Middle East benzene supply events and construction investment cycles are key near-term signals.
Asia Pacific leads with China holding the largest CASE resin capacity, followed by North America and Europe. Any MDI or TDI feedstock cost shift ripples across polyurethane markets within one to two quarters.
Buyers can use quarterly trends and forecasts to time construction coating and adhesive contracts around seasonal demand cycles, build cover when MDI signals tightening, and monitor aniline and benzene price trends as the primary upstream cost signals.
