PU Coatings Market Expansion to be Persistent During 2014 - 2020

Polyurethanes are manufactured from reaction of polyols (polyester, polyether polyols) with polyisocynates such as MDI and TDI. In case of PU coatings, polyols are first converted to stock coatings and are then mixed with polyisocynates cross linker before processing thus offering two component system. The properties of the coatings can be adjusted according to polyol used in manufacturing and crosslinker selected. Polyurethane coatings offer various characteristics such as high performance coatings with low temperature curing, excellent abrasion and corrosion resistance, high flexibility, higher durability, pleasing optical properties and good weathering features. Polyurethane coatings are one of the emerging sectors in global paints and coatings industry. In spite of these features, the cost associated with PU coatings is higher as compared to other coatings available in the market. On the basis of formulations, the market for PU coatings is divided as PU water borne coatings, PU solvent borne coatings, PU powder coatings and PU high solids coatings among others. PU solvent borne coatings had the largest market share in PU coatings market however, there is likely to be more demand for PU waterborne coatings in near future owing to lower VOC content.

The main driver for the global PU coatings market is huge automotive industry. PU coatings are majorly consumed in automotive and transportation industry especially, ships and automobile. PU coatings offer various characteristics to the surfaces such as anti-corrosion and anti-abrasion along with durability and higher performance. In addition, PU coatings make the texture glossier, easy-to-clean and soft-touch. Other major outlets for the PU coatings market are wood furniture, construction, electronics, textile and industrial applications among others. Wood furniture and construction industry are likely to be the emerging markets for PU coatings over the forecast period. Technological advancements and capacity expansions are likely to offer major opportunities for the PU coatings market in upcoming years. Although, stringent environmental regulations and fluctuating prices associated with the use of raw materials can act as a major restraint for the PU coatings market in next few years to come.
