Polyols industry 2027: Analysis by Product Types and Applications, Industry Top Players, Regions and Market Overview
On the basis of the product type, the global polyols market is segmented into polyether polyols, polyester polyols, and others. The polyether polyols accounted for the largest share of the global polyols market in 2017 owing to its large-scale consumption in flexible and rigid polyurethane foams and is expected to exhibit a steady demand during the forecast period. However, superior properties imparted by the polyester polyols such as high tensile strength, abrasion & wear resistance, as well as solvent & oil resistance, to the polyurethanes are likely to increase its market demand during the forecast period. On the basis of the application, the global polyols industry is segmented into flexible foams, rigid foams, CASE, and others. The flexible and rigid polyurethane foams are collectively expected to hold the largest market share is owing to their strong applications across various end-use industries during the forecast period. On the basis of the end-user industry, the
