Global Polyurethane Market Outlook
The global polyurethane market size reached a value of over USD 59.28 billion in 2022. During the forecast period of between 2023 and 2028, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.70%.
Key Trends in the Market
Polyurethane, also known as polymeric material, is created from a multitude of starting elements and is categorised as a polymer rather than a specific substance. They are thermosetting polymers, which means that they do not melt in the presence of heat. Due to its easy accessibility, low cost, simplicity of use, and recyclability, it is employed in a variety of applications that improve the comfort and environmental friendliness of daily lives.
- Polyurethane is widely employed in the building and construction industry for commercial, industrial, and residential applications due to its insulating qualities, versatility, durability, and strength-to-weight ratio. The polyurethane market demand is anticipated to increase throughout the forecast period due to rising building insulation demand brought on by environmental concerns. However, the rising demand for acid-epoxy coatings could limit market expansion.
- A wide variety of consumer goods used in daily life include polyurethane materials. For instance, hard foam for casing in walls and roofing, TPU for medical equipment and footwear, and flexible foam for upholstered furniture are some of the examples of polyurethane-based products. Additionally, it is also used on floors and automotive interiors, in coatings, sealants, adhesives.
- As a result of improved building material performance, there is a higher need for effective insulating materials to regulate air conditioning, ventilation, heating and reduce the amount of energy lost due to inadequate insulation. The introduction of extremely effective insulating materials like polyurethane foam leads to huge energy savings.
