Market Dynamics

Bio-based thermosets constitute a significant class of renewable thermosets. They are primarily produced by reacting natural oil polyols with diisocyanates, and their bio-based content ranges between 10% and 100%. The automotive, railroad, and aerospace industries are just a few of the transportation sectors where bio-based polyurethane is widely used.

In the automotive industry, bio-based PU foams, varnishes, adhesives, and sealants are also used. Seating systems (headrests, headliners, armrests, seat cushioning, and other interior components, in particular) and interior components using bio-based PU foams. The main mid-term market drivers are rising demand from the developing world's construction sector and increasing demand from electrical product manufacturers.

Covid-19 Impact

Bio-based polyurethane, a sizeable market, witnessed a colossal decline (-15%+ in 2020) amid the pandemic. The pandemic had a significant impact on almost all end-use industries, particularly the construction industry. However, industrial growth in The Middle East and Africa is expected to present an opportunity, with demand for bio-based polyurethane expected to rise due to increased demand in the transportation sector.

Segments Analysis

By Application Type

The bio-based polyurethane market is segmented as foams, coatings, adhesives and sealants, and other applications. Foam is expected to remain the largest and fastest-growing application type in the market during the forecast period. Bio-based polyurethane foam is lightweight, flexible, supportive, and comfortable. The material is used as cushioning in a variety of consumer and business products, including carpet underlay, vehicle interiors, furniture, packaging, mattresses, chairs, and specialty items. This material's popularity stems from the fact that it can be extremely stiff, soft, or even viscoelastic.

By End-User Industry Type

The market is segmented as transportation, footwear and textile, construction, packaging, furniture and bedding, electronics, and other end-user industries. Transportation is expected to remain the dominant as well as the fastest-growing end-user industry type in the market during the forecast period. The automotive, railway, and aerospace industries are just a few of the transport sectors where bio-based polyurethane is used extensively.

Regional Insights

In terms of regions, Asia-Pacific is expected to remain the largest market for bio-based polyurethane during the forecast period. With the high availability of synthetic diisocyanates and a significant amount of bio-based polyurethane in the region, Asia-Pacific is the world's largest producer of bio-based polyurethane. China is experiencing a massive boom in the development of bio-based polyurethane. The country's construction industry is the largest in the world and the region.
