Polyols
Market Overview
Global Polyols Market is poised to report 8.19% year-on-year growth in 2019, driven by growing efforts for
conservation of energy and increasing demand for polyols from freezer and refrigerator manufacturers.
Polyol is analcoholic chemical containing multiple hydroxyl group used in food and polymer chemical industry. The
polyols are used as key ingredients for the production of polyurethane formulations.There is steady growth in the
polyols market due to the increasing demand of polyurethane across the various end use industries.
The polyols are categorised into two types that include polyether polyols and polyester polyols based on their
characteristic properties including heat resistance, low temperature flexibility and abrasion resistance. The polyether
polyols are accounted for largest segment in the polyols market with the largest market share.The largest market
share for the polyether is obtained due to its use in the production of polyurethane of flexible foam. The polyester
polyols are mainly used in the manufacturing of both the flexible foam as well as rigid foam.
Polyurethane rigid foams are the key chemical intermediate produced from polyols for insulation purpose.
The polyurethane rigid foam application is the major application segment, it can reduce the energy transfer, resist
moisture and also increase energy efficiency of buildings due to this reason; they are mainly used for insulation
purpose in buildings. The mechanical strength of the rigid foams is and its shear strength allows low-density insulating

cores to be faced with relatively thin steel or aluminium and is used for ease of transportation purposes due to its
light weight. The polyurethane is currently the fastest growing segment of polyols.
The polyurethane is used for the manufacturing of coating, adhesive, sealant and elastomers which are used various
end user industries. The polyurethane foams are extensively used in automotive industry for the production roof liners,
dashboards, headrests, seats, armrests, and instrument panels of cars which drive the global polyols market.
Further, based on application the polyols market is classified into flexible foam, coatings, adhesives & sealants, and
elastomers.
Polyols are used across wide range of end user industries owing for its flexible applications:
The report analyses the global polyols market based on end use industry as construction, transportation, furniture,
packaging, carpet backing, and others. Of these construction is the dominant end use industry owing to wide usage of
polyols in construction activities. Polyurethane is of two types based on their individual properties including flexible
foam and rigid foam. The polyurethane flexible foam provides physical properties such as durability and comfort,
energy absorption and also support and comfort. Due to these properties, it is used in the many applications such as
textiles and fibers, auto motive industry, construction industry and furniture, carpet cushion, bedding, and packaging.
At present, Asia Pacific region is the largest consumer of the polyurethane flexible foam and India is the fast growing
in this region.

Polyols
Due to the price fluctuations in the crude oil, the producers are able to meet the demand and supply of the polyols
market. To overcome this situation, the producers are moving towards the production of bio polyols from feedstock
such as corn, soya, rapeseed, castor, canola and palm.
Risingdemand for energy efficient building is fuelling the Asia Pacific polyols market
Asia Pacific region is currently the largest market of polyols due to the factors such as continuous growth in the
population, government regulations to raise the construction activities, growth in the automobile industry, development
in textile and furniture industry lead to the demand for the polyols. China is the largest consumer among the Asia
Pacific region.
Further, regional analysis is segmented for countries across Europe, North America, South & Central America and
Middle East & Africa.
Key players that are participating in polyols market globally are Royal Dutch Shell PLC (The Netherlands), BASF SE
(Germany), DowDuPont Inc. (United States), PCC SE (Germany), Tosoh Corporation (Japan), Coim Group (Italy),
Covestro AG (Germany), Mitsui Chemicals, Inc. (Japan), Huntsman Corporation(United States), and Lanxess AG
