1. Global Polyurethanes (PU) Market By Product (Rigid Foam,
Flexible Foam, Coatings, Adhesives & Sealants, Elastomers),
By End-use (Furniture and Interiors, Construction,
Electronics & Appliances, Automotive) Expected To Reach
USD 73.6 Billion By 2020
The global polyurethane market is expected to reach USD 73,607.1 million by 2020, according
to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Furniture & interior applications dominated the PU
market, with demand estimated at 3,991.6 tons in 2013. Increasing usage in automotive and
electronic appliances including seat cushioning, interior trims and refrigeration is expected to
fuel polyurethane market demand.
Asia Pacific emerged as the largest regional polyurethane market, with demand estimated at
7,352.6 kilo tons in 2013, growing at a CAGR of 5.9% from 2014 to 2020. Increasing
construction spending in emerging markets such as China and India is expected to drive the
market growth in the region. In addition, strong demand from automotive and electronic
applications is also expected to play a key role in market development. Relatively low feedstock
pricing in Asia Pacific is expected to be a major benefit for industry participants in terms of
production.
