Polyurethane Elastomers Market - Forecast(2021 - 2026)

 Polyurethane Elastomers Market Overview:

Polyurethane elastomers find application in various fields and are preferred due to their durability, flexibility, toughness, load strength, abrasion resistance, and chemical resistance. The Asia-Pacific region is the largest shareholder in the market for Polyurethane Elastomers followed by America. The Polyurethane Elastomer Market is estimated to be worth around $22 billion by 2023. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2023. China was the highest importer of Polyurethane while Germany was the Lead exporter of polyurethane in its primary forms. 


Polyurethane Elastomers Market Outlook:
Polyurethane Elastomers are rubber like materials that are manufactured by the reaction of Isocyanates with hydroxyl group in the Polyols (alcohol) to which a curative agent is added which forms the links between the polymer strands thus curing the polyurethane elastomer. The major Isocyanates used are either Toluene Diisocyanate (TDI) or Methy-diphenly Diisocyanate (MDI) and the Polyols are of either Polyether or Polyester. There are various additives that are added to these elastomers during their processing to enhance certain properties for specific applications and to reduce costs. Polyurethane elastomers are used in various industries, some common application include: insulation panels, wires and cable insulation, tires, conveyor belts, films and sheets interior and exterior automotive parts, sealants, adhesives, coatings, blocks and many more.


Polyurethane Elastomers Market Growth drivers:
Major Growth driver for the Polyurethane Market is the increasing global population and increase in disposable income per household. The global increase in both these factors affect the automotive, construction and footwear industry, increasing their demand which in turn directly increases the demand for polyurethanes in their applications.
The versatility, durability, ease of processing and mechanical properties of polyurethane itself is also a growth driver for the polyurethane elastomer market due to which it is the predominant choice of material in various industries.


Polyurethane Elastomers Market Challenges:
The most widely used raw materials for the production of Polyurethane are TDI, MDI and 1, 4 Butanediol are all derivatives of crude oil. The increasing prices of crude oil and the general volatility that is observed in the prices of crude oil are a major deterrent for the market. MOCA which is the most used chemical as a curative for polyurethane manufacturing is also facing regulatory backlash in the EU region due to which alternative will have to be considered, none of which perform as well a MOCA.


Another major challenge that comes with the use of Polyurethane elastomer is its environmental impact. Polyurethane Elastomers are not bio-degradable and hence their disposition adds to the surmounting plastic pollution globally.
