Market Introduction

The Europe polyurethane market is a highly fragmented market with the presence of considerable regional and local players providing numerous solutions for companies investing in the market arena. Governments of various countries across the region are focusing on the nation's infrastructure development. National, state, and local governments in each country are spending high amounts of capital to meet these needs for good reason. The Secretariat for Infrastructure in the Planning Commission is involved in initiating policies that would ensure the time-bound creation of top-class infrastructure in the country. This infrastructure planning mainly focuses on power, dams, bridges, roads, and urban infrastructure development. The nation's infrastructure push comprises projects related to roads, ports, railways, and airports; projects in agriculture and renewable energy; and industrial and social infrastructure. Rigid polyurethane foams are known as the high-performance closed-cell plastics adopted in end-use industries, such as packaging, transportation, and industrial insulations and appliances, due to their structural stability, which further assists manufacturers to design thermally insulating products. Rigid foams possess higher mechanical strength, sound insulation properties, and thermal resistance. Therefore, they can be used in extreme weather conditions and harsh environments. The building and construction industry is major end user of rigid and sprays polyurethane foam. Due to various benefits such energy efficiency, versatility, high performance, thermal/mechanical performance, and environment-friendly nature, rigid polyurethane foam insulation is applied in a building.

In case of COVID-19, in Europe, especially Russia, witnessed an unprecedented rise in number of coronavirus cases, which led to the discontinuation of polyurethane manufacturing activities. Downfall of other chemical and materials manufacturing sectors has negatively impacted the demand for polyurethane during the early months of 2020. Moreover, decline in the overall resin and polymer manufacturing activities has led to discontinuation of polyurethane manufacturing projects, thereby reducing the demand for polyurethane. Similar trend was witnessed in other Europe countries, i.e., France, UK, Italy, Spain and Germany. However, the countries are likely to overcome thus drop in demand with the economic activities regaining their pace, especially in the beginning of the 2021.

    Market Overview and Dynamics

    The polyurethane market in Europe is expected to grow from US$ 10,213.64 million in 2021 to US$ 18,282.75 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 8.7% from 2021 to 2028. Many paints, varnishes, and clear coats emit volatile organic compounds or VOCs with other harmful compounds if they are applied on a surface. However, polyurethane fumes may cause harmful side effects; therefore, it is essential to avoid their use. Ultimately, VOCs are considered harmful to human health and its use should be avoided when possible. This factor propels the demand for low VOC, green, and sustainable polyurethane in the market. Overall, investing in a low VOC or eco-friendly polyurethane clear coat is considered the ideal treatment for hardwood floors because it is the only way to keep home free of unnecessary toxins with fumes. Polyurethane is used as a petrochemical resin that contains known respiratory toxins named isocyanates. When left uncured, it can cause asthma and other breathing problems. Those who spend time in rooms that have uncured polyurethane floor treatments can experience health issues such as throat and eye irritation, headaches, nausea, vomiting, coughing, and breath shortness. Children and kids are prone to developing those issues since their immune systems are sensitive. People suffering from respiratory issues can also be affected. Eco-friendly polyurethane is always the ideal treatment to be utilized for hardwood floors. However, polyurethane exposure can be limited by allowing proper curing prior to re-entering the affected area. Curing time varies based on the type and quantity of the product as well as on the type of floor and airflow.
