Market Synopsis

The global polyurethane market demand is presumed to garner USD 1,237.4 million with 6.28 % CAGR during the forecast period (2015-2023), owing to the continued growth of the automotive sector, asserts Market Research Future (MRFR). Polyurethane (PUD) is an anionic and aqueous dispersion having high molecular weight. It can be either derived from aromatic or aliphatic isocyanate and can be produced with or without emulsifiers. PUD possesses properties such as high abrasion resistance, superior tensile strength, extreme temperature durability, and high elasticity which can be used in wood and leather finishes, textile coatings, and concrete floor coverings.

Potential and Pitfalls

With the continued growth in the automotive sector, growing consumption of leather products, and high demand from the furniture and interior industry, the global Polyurethane Dispersion Market Demand is likely to foster during the assessment period. The demand for leather is highly driven by the fashion industry. Growing disposable income coupled with latest fashion trends have led to the increased demand for leather products which is estimated to fuel the market growth in the coming years. Growing number of telecommuters have also increased the demand for home furniture which has increased the consumption of wood coating applied to interior furniture. Such factors have impacted the global market during the review period.

On the flip side, change in the oil prices which directly influences the price of raw materials is likely to retard the market growth. Also, the increase in the prices of raw materials decreases the profit margin of the manufacturers, which is considered to hamper the market growth in the coming years.
