Polyurethane refers to a form of plastic polymer material that is used to produce modern, versatile, and safe consumer and industrial products that are environmentally friendly. Polyurethane is formed by reacting a polyol (an alcohol with more than two reactive hydroxyl groups per molecule) with a diisocyanate or a polymeric isocyanate in the presence of suitable catalysts and additives. They are also widely used in medical devices such as pacemakers, artificial hearts, and other blood-contacting applications. The main product types of polyurethane are coatings, adhesives and sealants, flexible and rigid foams, elastomers, and other product types. An adhesive is a substance that is capable of holding materials together in a functional manner by a surface attachment that resists separation. The raw materials are MDI, TDI, and polyols. The end-use industries are furniture, construction, electronics and appliances, automotive, footwear, and other end-use industries. The global polyurethane market is segmented - 1) By Product Type: Coatings, Adhesives and sealants, Flexible and rigid foams, Elastomers, Other Product Types 2) By Raw Material: MDI, TDI, Polyols 3) By End User Industry: Furniture, Construction, Electronics & Appliances, Automotive, Footwear, Other End Use Industries The global polyurethane market size will grow from $77.6 billion in 2022 to $88.34 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.8%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The market size of global polyurethane is expected to grow from $143.8 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 13.0%. The adoption of polyurethane in home furnishings is driving the polyurethane market.
