Polyurethane additives are chemicals that are added to polyurethane products to improve their properties. They are used to enhance the strength, flexibility, abrasion resistance, fire retardancy, water resistance, and other properties of polyurethane products. Additives can also be used to modify the physical properties of the polyurethane, such as its color, texture, and electrical conductivity.
According to MarketsandMarkets, the global polyurethane additives market size is estimated to be valued at USD 4.5 billion by 2025, registering a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period. The growing demand for polyurethane additives in the automotive and construction industries is the major factor driving the growth of the market. The increasing demand for polyurethane additives in the automotive industry is attributed to the growth of the automotive industry in countries such as China, India, Japan, and South Korea. The construction industry is projected to offer lucrative opportunities for the growth of the market, owing to the increasing demand for eco-friendly and energy-efficient insulation materials in buildings. The favorable government regulations for the usage of polyurethane-based insulation materials are expected to further fuel the demand for polyurethane additives in the near future.
