Polyether polyols account for a major share due to their growing usage in multiple end-use sectors
Polyether polyols are highly versatile and can be used in a wide range of applications, including flexible and rigid foams, adhesives, sealants, and coatings and this versatility makes them attractive for various industrial sectors, such as automotive, construction, and furniture. Polyether polyols also offer excellent performance properties, such as good resilience, high elasticity, and resistance to hydrolysis, which make them suitable for use in high-quality polyurethane products. Polyether polyols are easy to process and can be tailored to meet specific end-use requirements and this ease of processing allows manufacturers to develop customised solutions for their customers.
Polyester polyols are anticipated to gain sizeable growth in the polyols market in the forecast period. Polyester polyols are often preferred in the production of polyurethane foams due to their excellent mechanical properties, superior adhesion, and resistance to hydrolysis, oil, and solvents. These properties make polyester polyols ideal for producing high-quality, durable polyurethane products. As industrial sectors seek materials that offer enhanced performance characteristics, the demand for polyester polyols increases. For example, in the automotive sector, polyester polyols are used to produce lightweight, durable, and heat-resistant components, contributing to fuel efficiency and safety.
The building and construction sector maintains its dominance in the market due to the rising usage of polyurethane foam in energy-efficient buildings
The building and construction sector typically holds the largest share in the polyols market. Polyols are a key component in the production of polyurethane foam, which is widely used in the building and construction sector for insulation, roofing, sealants, and adhesives. The demand for energy-efficient buildings and the need for effective insulation materials drive the consumption of polyols in this sector. Governments around the world are implementing stricter regulations regarding energy efficiency and fire safety in buildings and polyurethane foams made from polyols offer excellent thermal insulation and fire-resistant properties, making them a preferred choice for meeting these regulatory standards.
The automotive sector is expected to gain robust growth in the forecast period. Polyols are crucial for producing polyurethane foams and elastomers used extensively in the automotive sector and these materials are utilised for seating, headrests, armrests, dashboards, interior trim, and insulation, contributing to comfort, safety, and noise reduction.
