Growing Demand for Polyurethane Resins Drives Market Growth in Electronics, Footwear, and Construction Industries
The global polyurethane (PU) resin market size was USD 863.5 Million in 2022 and is expected to register a rapid revenue CAGR of 3.2% during the forecast period. The global polyurethane resin market is experiencing significant growth as industries such as electronics, footwear, and healthcare increasingly adopt this versatile material for various high-tech applications. Polyurethane resins, known for their excellent elasticity, toughness, and wide applicability, are essential in industries including automotive, packaging, and medical sectors. In particular, polyurethane's unique combination of soft and hard segments, formed using polyol, di/multi-isocyanate, and chain extenders, has made it an attractive choice for numerous applications.One major factor driving the market's expansion is the rising demand for polyurethane in the footwear industry, particularly for the production of sports and comfort shoes. Known for its high resistance and strong adhesion properties, polyurethane has also become indispensable in electronics manufacturing, where it is used to secure components and ensure durability.
Polyurethane's role in the healthcare sector is also growing, particularly in wound dressings, while the material's bio-based options are gaining traction. Bio-based polyurethane resins, which can be sourced from renewable resources like vegetable oils, align with an increasing market preference for sustainable materials. This shift has also led to a noticeable rise in the adoption of water-based polyurethane resins, which offer lower greenhouse gas emissions and cost savings over time, making them a popular choice among environmentally-conscious manufacturers.

BASF's recent expansion exemplifies this trend. In January 2024, BASF opened its largest thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) production facility at the Zhanjiang Verbund site in China, designed to meet the growing demand for TPU in Asia's industrial, eMobility, and new energy sectors. The state-of-the-art facility includes automated guided vehicles and advanced automation systems to streamline production, helping BASF address the regional surge in polyurethane resin demand effectively.
Despite its promising growth, the polyurethane resin market faces challenges due to stringent environmental regulations and health concerns. The manufacturing process for polyurethane releases volatile organic compounds (VOCs), posing a hazard to both workers and the environment. Additionally, direct exposure to polyurethane resin can result in respiratory issues such as asthma and allergies, driving some manufacturers to explore more eco-friendly alternatives or adopt advanced technologies to reduce VOC emissions.
In recent years, water-based polyurethane resins have emerged as a solution, thanks to their lower environmental impact. In 2022, water-based resins accounted for the largest revenue share in the global polyurethane resin market, driven by the demand for synthetic leathers and eco-friendly coatings. Companies like DIC Group are leading innovations in this space, with the August 2023 launch of its HYDRAN GP line of water-based polyurethane resins. This new product line promises higher solids content, amine-free composition, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions, catering to manufacturers seeking both economic and environmental benefits.
Polyurethane resins are also widely adopted in the construction sector, especially in applications that require materials with high strength and durability. The material is commonly used in insulation panels, flooring, and waterproof coatings, which help improve building performance and lifespan. In addition, polyurethane's chemical resistance makes it an ideal choice for roofing and flooring, where strict material purity standards are crucial to maintaining quality and performance.
The ongoing growth in the construction industry, combined with polyurethane's fire-resistant and durable properties, positions it as a favored material for infrastructure and building projects, further driving its market demand.
As industries worldwide continue to expand and seek innovative materials, the demand for polyurethane resins is expected to remain strong, with rising applications across sectors such as electronics, healthcare, and construction. However, meeting this demand sustainably and addressing regulatory concerns will be critical for manufacturers moving forward.

Polyurethane Resin Latest Industry Updates
On 23 March, 2023, Covestro's Baydur polyurethane resin was certified as a commercial material for solar energy by TÜV Rheinland Germany, the independent international testing, inspection, and certification agency. This is also TÜV Rheinland's first polyurethane material certification applied to solar panel frames. The frame is an important component of the solar panel module, helping to fix and seal panels and panels while improving the module's durability. This makes the modules easier to transport and install, and improved frame performance directly affects the lifespan of modules.
On 2 November, 2022, Dow, a leading materials science company, and Magnum Venus Products (MVP), a global manufacturer of motion and fluid manufacturing solutions for industrial applications, introduced a new polyurethane-based chemistry, powered by an innovative three-component system. The spray system uses the unique RTM Fast Flow Light process. This innovative closed melding process increases product yield by reducing injection time. This new technique combines MVP's flexible molding process and lightweight resin transfer molds and uses bendable resin channels to allow the resin to flow faster.
