Market Overview

The Global Polyester Polyol Market is projected to register a CAGR of about 5% during the forecast period (2022-2027).

The market was negatively impacted by COVID-19 in 2020. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak in the first half of 2020, the various end-user industries automotive, transportation, building & construction were significantly affected. However, the situation became stable in 2021 and the market is projected to grow steadily.

  • Over the short term, rising demand for PU foam in various applications, and increasing demand for aromatic polyester polyol are some of the driving factors which are stimulating the market demand.
  • Increasing prices of raw materials are hindering the market's growth.
  • Increasing demand for bio-based raw materials to produce polyester polyol products is likely to create opportunities for the market in the coming years.
  • Asia-Pacific region is expected to dominate the market and is also likely to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Scope of the Report

Polyester polyols are a versatile organic compound that is produced with the condensation reaction of dicarboxylic acids and glycols. Polyester polyol is used for many applications including the production of polyurethane (PU) materials, production of reactive adhesives, sealants, and coating systems. The Polyester Polyol market is segmented by type, application, and geography. By Type, the market is segmented into aliphatic polyester polyols and aromatic polyester polyols. By Application, the market is segmented into flexible foam, rigid foam, CASE (coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers), and others. The report also covers the market size and forecasts for the Polyester Polyol market in 15 countries across major regions. For each segment, the market sizing and forecasts have been done on the basis of volume (kilo tons)
