Report Overview @
Rise
in Demand for Polyurethane in Bedding & Furniture Industry to
Fuel Market
Polyurethane
is used as a raw material in the manufacture of furniture. The
bedding & furniture industry is a major consumer of polyurethane.
Increase in the global population is boosting the demand for consumer
products. This, in turn, is fueling the bedding & furniture
market. Polyurethane is employed in the production of polyurethane
coatings. These coatings possess high resistance to voltage
fluctuations. This fuels the demand for polyurethane coatings in
industries such as automotive and white goods & appliances.
Methylene
Diphenyl Diisocyanate (MDI) a Preferable Raw Material for Production
of Polyurethane
MDI
is largely consumed in the manufacture of polyurethane, due to its
high thermal insulation and flexibility. Additionally, MDI is the
rapidly expanding raw material segment, as MDI is less hazardous to
health in comparison to TDI.
Rapid
Growth of Automotive and Transportation Industries in Developing
Economies of Asia Pacific Propelling the Demand for Polyurethane
Polyurethane
is employed in the production of lightweight vehicles. Automotive and
transportation industries in Asia Pacific are expanding at a rapid
pace. This is propelling the demand for polyurethane in the region.
Furthermore, the appliances & white goods industry in Asia
Pacific and Latin America is expanding at a rapid pace. Polyurethane
is used in coatings of electric wires, as it can bear voltage
fluctuations. This is augmenting the demand for polyurethane in the
appliances & white goods segment.
Flexible
Foams Product Segment to Dominate Global Polyurethane Market
Based
on product, the global polyurethane market has been segmented into
coatings, adhesives & sealants, flexible foams, rigid foams,
elastomers, and others (including monomers and resins). Flexible
foams is expected to be a major product segment of the global market
during the forecast period. Flexible foams are employed to
manufacture furniture and lightweight accessories used in automotive
and transportation sectors. China is a prominent producer of
polyurethane across the globe. In terms of demand, the country
accounts for 50%–60% share of the global polyurethane market.
Asia
Pacific Expected to Dominate Global Polyurethane Market
Based
on region, the global polyurethane market has been classified into
North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and
Latin America. Asia Pacific is estimated to be the leading region of
the global market during the forecast period. Growth in population is
fueling the consumer goods industry in the region. This, in turn, is
driving industries in Asia Pacific such as bedding & furniture
and building & construction. Commercially, polyurethane is widely
used as a raw material to manufacture furniture. Polyurethane-based
rigid foams are widely used in wall foundation in the construction
sector. Growth of the building & construction industry in
developing economies in Asia Pacific such as China and India is a
major factor boosting the demand for polyurethane in the region.
Growth of the automotive industry is augmenting the consumption of
lightweight automotive and transportation vehicles. This fuels the
polyurethane usage in automotive seats and accessories. Furthermore,
improvement in lifestyle is boosting the demand for luxurious
products (including customized furniture). This, in turn, is
propelling the demand for customized furniture, white goods, and
appliances, wherein polyurethane is used.
