[Online Quarterly Update] Polyol market grew at a significant rate in the past few years and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.34% during the forecast period. A Polyol is an organic compound containing multiple hydroxyl groups. These are naturally viscous liquids or waxy solids depending on hydroxyl content and molecular weight. The organic compound can be categorized into: Polymeric Polyols, Low molecular weight Polyols and Sugar Alcohol. Among these, Polymeric Polyols leads the market due to high demand of derivatives such as Polyether Polyols and Polyester Polyols. High demand of Polyether Polyols can be attributed to its use in the production of Polyurethane.
Polyols find application in wide range of applications including flexible & rigid foams, surface and fabric coatings, thermoplastic polyurethanes, adhesives & sealants, elastomers, etc. Hence, Polymeric Polyols are an important group of functional resins which are extensively used in construction, automotive, Paint & Coatings, and medical sectors. These also have minor non-urethane applications such as surfactants and oil demulsifiers. Based on applications, its market is further segmented into grades such as a) below 1000 MW that are used for making insulating panels b) 1001-2999 MW are having mixed applications either blended to make rigid foams or to synthesize flexible foams and c) 3000 MW & above are used to make more flexible Polyurethanes further used in mattresses. Polyols with MW 3000 and above are mostly in demand. Due to their versatile properties, they are widely used in various end use such as Bedding/ Mattresses, Industrial Insulations, Footwears, Transportation, Construction, Packaging and Others, which is likely to have a positive impact on the market for Polyols across the globe in the upcoming years.
Imposition of nationwide lockdowns due to Covid-19 pandemic by the major economies to contain the spread of virus has negatively impacted the Polyol industry in the first half of 2020. The demand for Polyol witnessed a decline due to the disruption in Automotive and Construction sector as these sectors are the major end users of the compound. Moreover, the industries were functioning with very low efficacy coupled with the disruption in the supply chain of raw material. However, in the latter half of 2020, an improvement in the market condition is observed owing to the increasing demand from the various end use industries such as construction, packaging, consequently, driving the global market for Polyols. Volatility in the prices of conventional raw material and the increasing environmental concerns shifts the focus of manufacturers to use bio-based Polyols, to replace petroleum derived Polyols are influencing the demand of the product.
PCC Rokita SA, one of the largest chemical companies in Poland has increased the total annual capacity to 110,000 metric tons of Polyether Polyols and it also establish joint venture with Thai Polyol manufacturers and acquire 50% stakes in IRPC Polyols (Thailand). Similarly in December 2020, Synthesia Technology America announced to invest in a new Polyol production facility in the United States. All these Expansions by the giant Polyol manufacturer are going to boost the global market in the forecast period.
Region wise, Asia-Pacific is expected to dominate the global market during the forecast period due to the rapid industrialization, surging demand from various sectors utilizes Polyurethane in the manufacturing of mattresses, insulation panels for households & industries, medical devices, electrical devices, footwears etc. especially in China and India. Whereas Latin America is emerging as the second fastest-growing market for Polyols after APAC. The demand for Polyurethane foams is a key factor for driving the growth and expansion in the Polyol market because of large consumer base in the region. Europe and North America are also expected to show a promising growth in the forecasted period due to the presence of global manufacturers and various end use industries in the region.
