Polyurethane Market Forecast 2024-2033: Projected CAGR, Key Drivers, And Trends

Overview and Scope

Polyurethane refers to a form of plastic polymer material that is used to produce modern, versatile, and safe consumer and industrial products that are environmentally friendly. Polyurethane is formed by reacting a polyol (an alcohol with more than two reactive hydroxyl groups per molecule) with a diisocyanate or a polymeric isocyanate in the presence of suitable catalysts and additives. They are also widely used in medical devices such as pacemakers, artificial hearts, and other blood-contacting applications.

Sizing and Forecast

The polyurethane market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $89.92 billion in 2023 to $103.08 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to construction and insulation, automotive industry, furniture and bedding, coatings and adhesives.

The polyurethane market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $171.11 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to sustainability and green initiatives, energy efficiency in buildings, automotive lightweighting, medical devices and healthcare. Major trends in the forecast period include bio-based polyurethanes, smart materials, customized formulations, 3d printing with polyurethanes.

Major Driver Impacting Market Growth

The adoption of polyurethane in home furnishings is driving the polyurethane market. Furniture manufacturing companies are enhancing comfort, durability, health, and safety by using flexible polyurethane foam (FPF) as a cushioning material for upholstered furniture, bedding, and carpet underlay. Furthermore, with the introduction of an advanced manufacturing process, polyurethane foam provides more uniform, predictable, and durable end products. For instance, according to the American Chemistry Council, it is proven that FPF, when compressed by 90% for 22 hours, can recover more than 90% of its original height, which is more durable than any other form of furniture material. Moreover, completely cured polyurethane products are considered to be inert and safe and have been concurred with by the U.S. EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). The durability, comfort, and safety provided by polyurethane will continue to be the major reasons for its use in the furniture industry, thereby driving the demand for the polyurethane industry going forward.
