Polyurethane Trends – Global Industry Overview And Competitive Analysis Research Report 2025

The global polyurethane market size is expected to reach USD 105.2 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., registering a 7.0% CAGR during the forecast period.Rising awareness regarding resource conservation and optimum manufacturing processes and low labor costs in developing countries are factors estimated to fuel overall market demand through 2025.

Growing demand for bio-based polyurethane (PU) as well as demand for innovation and sustainability are key factors driving the industry. Rising government interferences in order to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are also estimated to have a positive impact on overall market growth.

Developed countries such as U.S., Canada, Germany, and U.K. have reduced carbon dioxide emissions over the past few years owing to increasing environmental concerns. The U.S. EPA and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued regulations under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to enhance fuel efficiency of vehicles and reduce carbon emissions.

Prominent players are incorporating bio-based PU to reduce reliance on conventional petrochemical derived PU and reduce the risks associated with it. Geographically, Asia Pacific emerged as a leading regional PU market in 2018 whereas Europe and North America are estimated to exhibit moderate growth over the forecast period.
