TPU Films Market to Witness Comprehensive Growth by 2025
TPU
is a versatile polymer which can offer several combinations of
performance properties. TPU resins are extruded with polyester,
polyether, and polycaprolactone substrate to produce TPU films. TPU
films offer excellent properties such as wear and tear resistance,
high elasticity, high strength, durability, resistance to chemicals,
abrasion resistance, etc. TPU films are biodegradable in nature. The
higher biodegradability of TPU films offer an upper hand to the TPU
films over its other counterparts. Manufacturers such as Lubrizol are
focusing on the development of bio-based TPU films. These products
offer equivalent performance to the synthetic TPU films. Thus,
technological developments of bio-based TPU films are expected offer
lucrative opportunities to the TPU films market in the near future.

Furthermore,
puncture resistance offered by TPU films and their competitive
physical structure render them suitable as viral and liquid barrier.
The barrier protects patients and medical staff from potentially
harmful blood-borne pathogens. Also, TPU films do not use any
plasticizers during the manufacturing process; hence, they do not
cause allergic reactions unlike their counterparts. Furthermore, TPU
films can sustain autoclave sterilization temperatures and still
remain flexible and soft over time. Thus, TPU films offer long
shelf-life. The films offer breathability, inherent softness, and
conformability and help the patient to recover speedily with comfort.
This is expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the TPU films
market during the forecast period.
The
global construction/civil engineering industry has expanded
significantly during the past decade. It plays a major role in
economic growth, driven by rising demand for smart infrastructure and
increasing expenditure in developing countries. Furthermore,
increased expenditure on improving residential, commercial, and
industrial infrastructure along with energy conservation initiatives
is expected to propel the civil engineering industry during the
forecast period. There has been a significant rise in modern
architecture in recent years, leading to the development of modern
materials which complement the art without compromising on the
stability and strength of the structures formed. TPU films are used
in flooring as tile underlayment, insulation netting, insulation
sheathing, rain screen on the roofs, etc. With construction as one of
the major end-use industries of TPU films, the evolving modern
architecture and construction industry are projected to propel the
TPU films market significantly during the forecast period.
TPU
films are also utilized in automotive interior parts such as air
chambers of car seats, sunroofs, noise reduction components, and
others. The demand for touchscreens and displays in car interiors has
increased considerably in the past few years. This developing trend
of digitization can be integrated into the surfaces of center
consoles, instrument panels, seat panels, and doors of the vehicle.
TPU-based flexible electronics can be used in electric vehicle
interiors for panel heating of large surface areas, geometrically
complex decorative parts with attractive lighting effects, etc.
Hence, increase in demand for flexible electronics and digitized
automatic transmission systems is anticipated to drive the TPU films
market during the forecast period.
However,
extensive consumption of raw materials (methylene diphenyl isocyanate
(MDI) and polyols) from different industries such as textiles,
polymers, rubber processing, and medical & health care affects
the demand-supply scenario and eventually results in increased
prices. This is anticipated to hamper the TPU films market during the
forecast period. Furthermore, availability of bio-based raw
materials, and substitutes such as thermoplastic olefins with
enhanced performance are likely to restrain the growth of the TPU
films market in the next few years.
The
global TPU films market is consolidated. Presence of prominent
players accounting for a market share of more than 50% is anticipated
to intensify the competition during the forecast period. Key players
are focusing on joint ventures and acquisition of regional players in
order to gain a substantial share of the global and regional TPU
films market. In February 2016, Mitsubishi Corporation acquired 4%
share of DingZing Advanced Materials Company. The strategic
partnership is expected to expand its global footprint in the TPU
market. In the same month, Huntsman Corporation commenced TPU
manufacturing facility in Shanghai, China, their first production
unit in Asia Pacific to cater the rising requirement of TPU films and
cables for the automotive, footwear, and building & construction
industries in the region.

The
polycaprolactone TPU segment is estimated to expand at a fast pace
during the forecast period due to its superior performance
characteristics compared to other substrates. Demand for TPU films
from automotive & transportation, and building & construction
sectors is anticipated to rise rapidly in the next few years. Asia
Pacific, and North America are expected to be the leading consumers
of TPU films during the forecast period.
Some
of the key players in the TPU films market include Covestro AG,
Huntsman Corporation, Erez Europe, Novotex Italiana S.p.A.,
Bond-A-Band Transmission Limited, Permali Gloucester Limited,
DUNMORE, 3M, Evermax Eco, Redwood TTM Ltd, Wiman Corporation and
PROCHIMIR SAS.
