Research Overview

This study analyzes the global polyols market for non-foam applications. The analysis includes the polyols used in coatings, adhesives and sealants, elastomers (CASE), and binder applications. Flexible and rigid foam applications that are important applications for polyols are excluded. This research service covers four regions, namely, North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific (APAC), and Rest-of-World (RoW); regional analysis is presented at the segment level to illustrate regional dynamics and opportunities for polyols. Segments include wood processing and furniture, automotive, and building and construction as well as others such as industrial applications, electrical and electronic devices, packaging, sports equipment, toys, medical products, and textiles,

The study analyzes current market size in terms of volume and revenue based on average product price. In-depth pricing trends are provided. Volume is represented in million tons and revenue in $ million. A 5-year forecast (2019-2023), based on the anticipated compound annual growth rate (CAGR), is presented. The value chain for polyols has also been discussed in detail. The two major polyol product types used across different applications are polyether polyols (PEPs) and polyester polyols (PSPs). The study analyzes key market participants (Dow, Covestro, BASF, Shell Chemicals, to name a few) and their market share. It presents key growth opportunities in terms of current context and future action required from market participants. Strategic imperatives for success and growth are also provided, along with a last word that lists the three big predictions for the market.
