全球多元醇市场规模预计将超过344亿美元

中国石化新闻网讯 据GetNews网站2020年3月3日报道，多元醇市场类型包括聚醚多元醇和聚酯多元醇，应用范围涉及软质聚氨酯泡沫和硬质聚氨酯泡沫，多元醇市场的区域包括亚太、欧洲、北美、南美、中东和非洲。

据统计，全球多元醇市场规模在2024年前预计将从2019年的262亿美元增加到344亿美元，年复合增长率为5.6%。

亚太、中东和非洲以及南美等发展中地区不断增长的建筑和汽车工业预计将推动全球多元醇市场。随着人口的增长、经济的发展、生活水平的提高、人均收入的增加，这些地区对新建住宅项目的需求也在增加，这将进一步推动建筑业的发展。同样，由于商业和个人车辆的增加，汽车工业的增长是另一个因素，这也将推动这些地区的多元醇市场。

根据类型，多元醇市场分为聚醚多元醇和聚酯多元醇。聚醚多元醇被认为是未来最大和增长最快的多元醇类型。软质聚氨酯泡沫塑料是应用最广泛的聚醚多元醇。高功能性低分子量聚醚多元醇用于制造刚性泡沫。它们也用于CASE应用程序。对聚醚多元醇的需求主要是由建筑、汽车、家具和其它行业的需求增长驱动的。

The global polyols market size is projected to surpass USD 34.4 billion by 2024, at a CAGR 5.6%

Polyols Market by Type (Polyether Polyols and Polyester Polyols), Application (Flexible Polyurethane Foam, Rigid Polyurethane Foam), and Region (APAC, Europe, North America, South America and Middle East & Africa)

The polyols market size is projected to grow from USD 26.2 billion in 2019 to USD 34.4 billion by 2024, at a CAGR 5.6%. The growing construction and automotive industries in the developing regions, such as APAC, the Middle East & Africa, and South America are expected to drive the polyols market. The increasing population, economic development, increasing standard of living, rising per capita income have boosted the demand for new housing projects in these regions, which is further expected to drive the growth of construction industry. Similarly, the growth of automotive industry owing to increasing commercial and individual vehicles is another factor, which will drive the polyols market in these regions.

Based on type, the polyols market is segmented into polyether polyols and polyester polyols. Polyether polyols is estimated to be the largest and fastest-growing type of polyols. Flexible polyurethane foam is the largest application of polyether polyols. High-functionality polyether polyols with low molecular weight are used to manufacture rigid foams. They are also used in CASE applications. The demand for polyether polyols is majorly driven by the growth of construction, automotive, furniture, and other industries.
