Polyurethane Dispersion Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Polyurethane dispersion or PUD is an aqueous and anionic dispersion solution derived from aromatic and aliphatic isocyanate produced from emulsifiers. The polyurethane dispersion substances possess quality properties such as high tensile strength, high elasticity, high abrasion resistance, extreme temperature durability , and high molecular weight.

Polyurethane Dispersion Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Growing demand of polyurethane dispersions

Polyurethane dispersions are extensively used in the automotive sector for car refinishing paints because of its numerous properties such as scratch resistance, flexibility, excellent chemical, solvent, abrasion, and adhesion. Hence, the rising automotive industry is expected to boost the consumption of polyurethane dispersions and drive the market's growth rate.

• High usage of polyurethane dispersions in paint and coating industry

The polyurethane dispersions has various end-user applications in paint and coating industry such as it is used as binders or film former in paints and coatings which are expected to fuel the growth rate of the of polyurethane dispersion market during forecast period of 2022-2029.

• Increasing demand of polyurethane dispersions in textile and leather industry

Polyurethane dispersions are also used in leather and textile finishing because it offers high elasticity, excellent tensile strength, extreme temperatures durability and high abrasion resistance. Thus, the increasing consumption of leather in the manufacturing of apparel, handbags, footwear, seat covers and other products is expected to increase the demand of polyurethane dispersions and drive the market growth rate.

Opportunities

• Increasing demand of construction and industrial revolution

The polyurethane dispersion market is on the upsurge in the emerging new economies of the developing countries because of increase of construction and industrial revolution. Both demand and supply of polyurethane dispersion for daily purposes and other industrial purposes will create beneficial opportunities for the growth of the market value and market volume.

• Strict government regulations

The great opportunity for the polyurethane dispersion market is the imposition and formulation of stringent environmental regulations by governing authorities of several economies worldwide. Many solvents, namely, NEP, NMP, and DMSO are used in the manufacturing of these dispersions which increases VOC emissions. These solvents cannot be easily removed by the distillation process. The toxicity of such type of solvents affects the environment and create immense opportunities for the polyurethane dispersion market

Furthermore, the major companies are more focusing on research and development and providing e-commerce platforms to improve the business footprints. The rising demand of polyurethane dispersion in textile coating, coating in wood and leather finishes and concrete floor tops and PVC will upsurge the growth of the market in the near future..

Restraints/Challenges

• Fluctuation in the prices of crude oil

The fluctuations in the costs of crude oil affect the prices of MDI and TDI, these are the main isocyanates which has preferred for the manufacture of polyurethane dispersion. Also, the volatility in prices of crude oil affects the supply of raw material to the manufacturers, who in turn, are forced to raise the costs of their isocyanate products to compensate for the losses in the market. These are the major factor which obstructs the demand of polyurethane dispersion and restrain the growth of the market.
