Amongst the varied segments in this market, the MDI and TDI segments are considered to be the raw materials that are used in producing flexible polyurethane foams, as well as rigid polyurethane foams respectively. Hence, under these segments the prices of polyurethane are directly dependent on the raw material prices and indirectly dominated by the crude oil and downstream feedstock prices.

  • Geographic Reaches of the PU Market

Among the many geographic regions in the world, Asia Pacific is leading in terms of production and consumption of the polyurethane (PU) products. This country has witnessed increasing number of applications of polyurethanes in the medical devices, and drawn equal attention of major market players in terms of developing renewable feedstock for polyurethane.

While the opportunities in the Asian segment is growing due to the evolving economy and rising standards of living in the region, the country’s overall progress is highly emerging in the global competitive market. In addition, Europe is also expected to have the second largest market share in the polyurethane market, following to Asia Pacific region by 2016.
