Polyurethane market is mainly driven by strong demand of polyurethane in the form of sealants, thermal insulators and flooring materials from construction industry. Growing end-use industries like automotive, footwear, electrical & electronics in emerging nations is expected to drive the market for polyurethane. Polyurethane has a broad range of applications such as transportation, furniture, textiles, fibers & apparel, packaging etc. These applications plays vital role in driving polyurethane market. Additionally, the rapidly expanding market of footwear in the emerging countries is also expected to surge demand for polyurethane in the years to come. However, manufacturers are expected to face some challenges such as growing cost of raw materials associated with manufacturing of polyurethane.

On the basis of product type polyurethane market can be segmented as flexible foam and rigid foam, coatings, adhesives & sealants, elastomers. Flexible foam was the largest product segment in 2014 and accounted for over 35% share of the total market. Globally increasing usage of flexible foam in furniture & interiors, cushioning, and automotive seat applications are expected to enlarge growth over the next years. However, rigid foam is expected to exhibit rapid growth owing to demand from insulation application.

Key application markets for polyurethane include furniture, building & construction, electronics, automotive, footwear, packaging and other applications. Bedding & furniture application segment is likely to be the fastest-growing application in coming years. Additionally, some functional properties like abrasion resistance, environment sustainability are expected to increase demand of polyurethane over the next few years.

Polyurethane market was dominated by Asia Pacific with account significant share in total 2014. Asia Pacific is followed by Europe and North America. Asia Pacific is expected to witness significant rise in polyurethane market due to large demand from emerging countries like China, India for various end-use industries like construction and automotives.
Key players operating in this market includes The DOW Chemical Company, Bayer AG, BASF SE, Sekisui Chemical Co. Ltd., Nitto Denko Corporation, Compagnie De Saint-Gobain S.A., Huntsman Corporation, Wanhua, Chemical Group Co., Ltd. (Former: Yantai Wanhua Polyuretanes Co., Ltd.), Trelleborg AB, Tosoh Corporation (Nippon Polyurethane Industry Co., Ltd.) and Chemtura Corporation.
