Market Insights

One of the major drivers in the global polyurethane dispersions market is demand from adhesives and coatings industry. Growing demand for textile and leather products in daily life and from industries such as furniture, automobiles and interior has paced up the market. Another characteristic that is augmenting the market growth is eco-friendly behavior of polyurethane dispersions. Furthermore, several advantages such as absence of volatile organic compounds (VOC), harmful monomers and other toxic compounds and elimination of odor along with polyurethane-like performance have increased its demand globally. Polyurethane dispersions hold high degree of toughness due to which demand is largely triggered in coatings, paints and adhesive industries driving the market growth globally. In coming future, new regulations are expected to cut the amount of VOC allowed in paints, coatings and adhesives this is expected to serve potential opportunities to the global polyurethane dispersions market to flourish.

Segment Covered
