Polyols Market Dynamics

Driver: Growing application of polyurethane in automotive industry

Automotive industry emerged as one of the most significant drivers for PU, which also boosted the polyol market in 2017. Automobile manufacturers are focusing on reducing the vehicle weight and emissions owing to stringent regulatory norms regarding vehicular emission, which is increasing the application scope of PU in automotive industry. According to the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standard, by 2025, vehicles need to attain an average mileage of 50 miles per gallon. This proposed standard is approximately 40% higher than the standard mileage of the current vehicles.

Driver: High demand for building insulation owing to the sustainability concerns

The global energy crisis has fostered the development of numerous green buildings as well as several sustainable construction initiatives. Sustainability in construction activities is a vast field and encompasses several steps that must be implemented in the primary construction stages as their potential environmental impacts are quite significant. Increased efficiency in building materials has ultimately generated high demand for efficient insulating materials to regulate HVAC and counteract the amount of energy loss as a direct result of inefficient insulation. Polyol-based PU foams are subsequently being utilized as extremely efficient insulation materials, leading to greater energy savings and contributing sustainably and environmentally. Numerous businesses have realized other intangible benefits of green buildings such as increased employee productivity, improved employee satisfaction, and their positive impact on company’s brand and reputation.

Restraint: Growing environmental concerns

The release of toxic gases on the burning of fossil fuels is expected to cause a major hindrance for the petrochemical manufacturers over the forecast period. Petrochemical products derived from crude oil release hazardous gases into the atmosphere. This factor is expected to increase the greenhouse gases (GHG) concentration in the atmosphere and thus increase the carbon footprint. China is expected to witness an increase in the quantity of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere over the forecast period owing to the presence of large capacity manufacturing units in the country. China accounted for approximately 28.03% of the total carbon dioxide released in 2015.
