Valuable Properties of PU to Spike Its Adoption in Different Industries
Polyurethane is a type of polymer formed as a result of the reaction between polyols and isocyanate. The polyurethane market research highlights the highly useful properties including hardness, electrical insulation, flexibility, resistance to abrasion, and ruggedness under inhospitable weather conditions. The polymer is also available in the form of foams, elastomers, fibers, and surface coatings. These qualities have made PUR a highly demanded commodity across the industrial spectrum. For instance, this polymer is widely applied in automobiles as it can be converted into foam. In construction, PU is extensively utilized in sealants, adhesives, and coatings. Since these are thriving industries, demand for polyurethane is likely to climb and accelerate the polyurethane market growth in the forecast period.
North America to Lead the Pack; Asia-
North America generated a revenue of USD 13,504.7 millionin 2018 and is, therefore, projected to dominate the polyurethane market share. Being one of the largest consumers of PUR owing to prosperous construction and automotive industries, the US will lead the market in North America. Asia-Pacific is slated to hold a sizeable share in the market owing to growth in the construction and furniture industries, mainly in China, where PU is highly utilized. On account of its high shock resistance properties, this polymer is also witnessing rising demand in the expanding automotive and transport industries in Asia-Pacific. In Europe, advancements in machinery and furniture manufacturing will boost the demand for PUR in the region. Increasing demand for PUR in construction will be the major driver for this market in South America, the Middle East & Africa, with Brazil and Saudi Arabia taking the lead.
