The Asia Pacific Polyols Market would witness market growth of 7.0% CAGR during the forecast period (2023-2030). In the year 2021, the Asia Pacific market's volume surged to 7,705.3 Kilo Tonnes, showcasing a growth of 5.6% (2019-2022).
Polyols have been utilized in numerous infrastructure development projects funded by government initiatives. They are used as a special component in the food and beverage industry and as a sugar replacement in various products, including confectionery, ice creams, fruit spreads, and yogurt. The consumer goods, electronics, footwear, and packaging industries significantly demand polyols, contributing significantly to the overall market growth. Moreover, these are widely employed in the building and construction industries. The significant increase in population has increased the demand for infrastructure and housing. This is expected to establish a robust market growth opportunity.
Polyether polyols are the predominant product segment in the formulation of PU adhesives. Compared to polyester polyols, polyether polyols offer superior flexibility at low temperatures and are less susceptible to hydrolysis. Additionally, polyether polyols are used to formulate reactive hot melt adhesives. Polyester polyols are extensively used in highly automated and hot-melting adhesive applications, demanding a quick setting time or initial green strengths. In addition, bio-based polyols are expected to be incorporated by major polyol producers in order to reduce reliance on conventional petrochemical-derived polyols and associated risks, such as environmental issues and fluctuating raw material prices.
As per the International Trade Administration, China is the world's largest automotive sector in yearly sales and manufacturing output, with domestic output estimated to exceed 35 million vehicles by 2025. According to information from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, approximately 26 million vehicles, including 21.48 million passenger cars, were sold in 2021, an increase of 7.1% from the previous year. Sales of commercial vehicles totaled 4.79 million, a 6.6% decrease from 2020. China's automotive industry has been experiencing rapid growth, leading to an increased demand for automotive seating and interior components. Polyurethane foams made from polyols are used extensively in car seats, dashboards, door panels, and headliners for their comfort, durability, and safety properties. Therefore, the aforementioned factors boost the growth of the market in this region.
