By Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/kw5dkc/polyols) has announced the addition of the "International Analysis of the Polyols and Polyurethanes Market - Forecasts to 2018" report to their offering.
Polyurethanes (PU) are the polymers formed by reacting isocyanate such as toluene di-isocyanate (TDI) or diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) and polyols. They are found in numerous forms ranging from flexible foam to elastomers and from rigid foams to solid compositions. They are commercially available as flexible foam, rigid foams, soft solid or low density elastomers and hard solid or flexible plastics. Based on physical and chemical properties, polyurethane foams can be used in different applications such as furniture, automobiles, houses, sculptures and decorations, building and construction, water vessels, boats, textiles, electronic components, adhesives and footwear.
The revenue generated by the global polyurethane market was USD 40,581.6 million in 2011 which is expected to grow to USD 66,469.1 million by 2018, growing at a CAGR of 7.4% from 2012 to 2018. Flexible foam and rigid foam accounted for the largest share of the polyurethane market in terms of both volume and revenue. Elastomers, coatings, adhesives and sealants are the other key types of polyurethanes used in the market.
Furniture and interiors, construction, automotive, electronics and appliances, footwear and packaging are the major end users of polyurethanes. Furniture and interiors dominates the global polyurethane consumption and the positive growth in this industry across the globe is driving the global polyurethane market.
