Market Introduction
The Asia Pacific polyurethane market is a highly fragmented market with the presence of considerable regional and local players providing numerous solutions for companies investing in the market arena. Governments of various countries across the region are focusing on the nation's infrastructure development. National, state, and local governments in each country are spending high amounts of capital to meet these needs for good reason. The Secretariat for Infrastructure in the Planning Commission is involved in initiating policies that would ensure the time-bound creation of top-class infrastructure in the country. This infrastructure planning mainly focuses on power, dams, bridges, roads, and urban infrastructure development. The nation's infrastructure push comprises projects related to roads, ports, railways, and airports; projects in agriculture and renewable energy; and industrial and social infrastructure. Rigid polyurethane foams are known as the high-performance closed-cell plastics adopted in end-use industries, such as packaging, transportation, and industrial insulations and appliances, due to their structural stability, which further assists manufacturers to design thermally insulating products. Rigid foams possess higher mechanical strength, sound insulation properties, and thermal resistance. Therefore, they can be used in extreme weather conditions and harsh environments. The building and construction industry is major end user of rigid and sprays polyurethane foam. Due to various benefits such energy efficiency, versatility, high performance, thermal/mechanical performance, and environment-friendly nature, rigid polyurethane foam insulation is applied in a building.
In case of COVID-19, in Asia Pacific, especially India, witnessed an unprecedented rise in number of coronavirus cases, which led to the discontinuation of polyurethane manufacturing activities. Downfall of other chemical and materials manufacturing sectors has negatively impacted the demand for polyurethane during the early months of 2020. Moreover, decline in the overall resin and polymer manufacturing activities has led to discontinuation of polyurethane manufacturing projects, thereby reducing the demand for polyurethane. Similar trend was witnessed in other Asia Pacific countries, i.e., Japan, China and Australia. However, the countries are likely to overcome thus drop in demand with the economic activities regaining their pace, especially in the beginning of the 2021.
Market Overview and Dynamics
The polyurethane market in Asia Pacific is expected to grow from US$ 25,293.66 million in 2021 to US$ 54,797.36 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 11.7% from 2021 to 2028. Trace levels of a chemical used to make polyurethane foam can volatilize in hot conditions may sometimes be encountered in parked cars. Substances mostly involved include amines, phenols, and aldehydes. These are not believed to present health risks. Rather, automakers are further concerned that fogging as well as VOC odors generate consumer complaints, particularly in Asia. OEMs nowadays require Tier companies to disclose the level of dozens of chemicals in parts also materials, employing the Asia Pacific Automotive Declarable Substance List (GADSL) along with the International Material Data System (IMDS). Polyurethane Foam Association Members are exploring material including process changes which can reduce emissions from foam, including less-emissive amine catalysts & surfactants, reduction of VOC precursors, and the application of “scavengers” to react and bind with VOC pre-cursors. All these factors are further influencing the polyurethane market in this region.
