    Update Available - Forecast 2024-2030   

Published: Jul 2023 | Report Code: OMR2024577 | Category : Plastics and Polymers | Delivery Format: /

The global industrial PU elastomers market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period. The growing usage of industrial PU elastomer in different industries is a key factor driving the market growth. The PU is a polymer with isocyanate and polyols linkage arranged in an alternate manner. The elastomers of PU have various properties including abrasive resistance, electric insulation, and reduced weight which makes it a suitable material to be used for different types of industrial applications. Additionally, it can withstand extreme weather conditions which makes it suitable to be used in marine and aerospace applications. Thus, the rising demand for PU elastomers from various industries including the packaging industry is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period. 

However, the establishment of a manufacturing facility of PU elastomers requires a high amount of investment. Additionally, a high level of technical expertization is required for its manufacturing which restrains the market growth. Apart from this, compounding grades of polyethylene, polypropylene, and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene are developed which have similar properties to industrial PU elastomers and are economical in cost. Thus, these product alternatives create touch competition for the industrial PU elastomers market.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Global Industrial PU Elastomers Market

The COVID-19 pandemic had halted the component manufacturing and fabrication facilities of the aerospace, automotive, and marine sector due to a shortage of raw materials and unavailability of labor workforce. Additionally, the decline of automobile sales had drastically reduced the demand for PU elastomers. However, during the same timeframe, the demand for various medical equipment including ventilators, and thermal scanners had grown significantly. With the sudden global health emergency, regulatory authorities had approved various diagnostic instruments and devices which are manufactured through plastics, adhesives, and elastomers. Thus, the medical segment recorded significant growth during the pandemic period.

Segmental Outlook 

The global industrial PU elastomers market is segmented based on the type, additives, and application. Based on the type, the market is segmented into thermosetting PU elastomers and thermoplastic PU elastomers. Based on additives, the market is sub-segmented into pigments, blowing agents, fillers, smoke retardants, and flame retardants. Based on output type, the market is sub-segmented into analog and digital. Based on application, the market is sub-segmented into transportation, industrial, building & construction, medical, footwear, and others (including mining equipment, furniture, adhesives and sealants).

Global Industrial PU Elastomers  Market Share by Application, 2020 (%)

The Consumer Electronics Segment Held Considerable Share in the Global Industrial PU Elastomers Market

The transportation segment held considerable share in the industrial PU elastomers market. The replacement of conventional metals and rubbers with the PU elastomers due to their easy processing, high impact strength, low weight, temperature resistance, good abrasive resistance, and economical cost will generate demand for industrial PU elastomers in the transportation sector. These elastomers are used in manufacturing various automotive components including cables, jackets, gear shift knobs, brake tubes, cup holders, bellows, snow traction devices, slush molding, and bumpers.

The thermosetting PU elastomers hold a major share in the market as these elastomers have various properties including high impact strength, excellent resilience, good load-bearing capacity, high abrasive resistance, and exceptional resistance for oil & grease. These properties make these elastomers an excellent material for a wide range of industrial applications including hydraulic applications. 

Regional Outlooks

The global industrial PU elastomers market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and Others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Others), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East and Africa, and Latin America). 

Global Industrial PU Elastomers  Market Growth, by Region 2021-2027

The Asia-Pacific is Anticipated to Exhibit Considerable Growthin the Global Industrial PU Elastomers Market

Asia-Pacific is anticipated to exhibit considerable growth in the industrial PU elastomer market. The rapid shift of manufacturing facilities of industrial PU elastomers from Europe to the Asia-Pacific region had driven the market growth across the region. India and China are the major contributors to this regional market. Transportation, mining equipment, and building & construction are the major industries of Asia-Pacific that are generating demand for PU elastomers. The supportive government regulations, availability of an economic labor force, and abundance of natural resources are expected to further drive the market growth of industrial PU elastomers in the Asia-Pacific region.

Market Players Outlook

The major companies serving the global industrial PU elastomers market include BASF SE, Bayer CropScience Ltd., DuPont de Nemours, Inc., The Dow Chemical Co., 3M, Co., and others. The market players are considerably contributing to the market growth by the adoption of various strategies including mergers & acquisitions, collaborations, funding, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, Covestro had collaborated with Teknor Apex in May 2020, to develop compounding industrial thermoplastic PU elastomers that can serve the customization requests of the customers.
