Polyurethane Foam Market Trends
Building & Construction Segment Dominates the Market
Polyurethane foam finds its largest application in the building and construction industry, where it is used in various household, commercial, and industrial applications
Polyurethane foam is a flexible chemical product that can be used for bonding, filling, sealing, and insulation in a variety of building applications. Its strong thermal and acoustic insulation capabilities make it ideal for applications such as water pipe insulation, roof, and wall bonding and sealing, and, most critically, door and window frame installation.
According to US Censor Bureau, the total spending on construction in April 2022 was estimated to be USD 1,744.8 billion, which is 12.3 % above the April 2021 estimate of USD 1,5553.5 billion. which has stimulated the consumption of paints and coatings. This has enhanced the demand for the market studied.
According to European Commission, in comparison to 2020, annual average construction production increased by 5.2% across the euro region and 4.8% in the EU in 2021. Furthermore, in December 2021 the UK monthly construction output increased by 2% as compared to the previous month. Thus, with the increasing building and construction activities, the demand for polyurethane foam will also significantly increase.
Owing to all these factors, the market for Polyurethane Foam is likely to grow globally during the forecast period.
Asia Pacific Region to Dominate the Market
The Asia-Pacific region is expected to dominate the market. In the region, China is the largest economy, in terms of GDP. China and India are among the fastest emerging economies in the world.
China is the largest consumer of PU as it is the largest producer of footwear globally. China is the world's largest footwear manufacturer and exporter, dominating worldwide. China shipped more than 8 billion pairs of shoes and boots in 2021.
On the other hand, China is the world's greatest producer and purchaser of automobiles. According to OICA, China has the largest automotive production base in the world, with a total vehicle production of 26.08 million units in 2021, registering an increase of 3% compared to 25.23 million units produced last year.
Furthermore, the footwear sector in India, which is the world's second-largest maker of shoes after China, is anticipated to generate USD 23.97 billion in revenue in 2022, up 32.62% from 2021.
Moreover in India, the government aims to boost the construction of buildings in the country. In the union budget of 2022, the government has allocated USD 6.4 billion for PM Awas Yojna and 60,000 houses will be identified as beneficiaries under the scheme in rural and urban areas, which is expected to stimulate the demand for the Polyurethane Foam Market in the country.
Due to all such factors, the market for Polyurethane Foam in the region is expected to have a steady growth during the forecast period.
