Market Introduction
The Middle East & Africa 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 Middle East & Africa, especially South Africa, 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 Middle East & Africa countries, i.e., UAE, Morocco and Saudi Arabia. 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.
