China Polyether Polyols for Polyurethane Market Global Outlook and Forecast 2024-2030

The China Polyether Polyols for Polyurethane market size was valued at US$ 6.78 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach US$ 9.45 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period 2024-2030.
Polyether Polyols for Polyurethane are key components in polyurethane production, reacting with isocyanates to form a wide range of polyurethane products with diverse properties for applications in construction, automotive, furniture, and more.
China's Polyether Polyols for Polyurethane market is growing robustly, driven by increasing demand across various end-use industries. In 2023, China produced approximately 4.5 million metric tons of polyether polyols for polyurethane applications, with 80% consumed domestically and 20% exported. The flexible foam sector remains the largest consumer, accounting for 55% of demand, followed by rigid foams at 30%, and CASE (Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants, Elastomers) applications at 15%. The market benefited significantly from China's booming e-commerce sector, which led to a 25% increase in demand for rigid polyurethane foam packaging in 2023. Technological advancements have focused on developing polyols with enhanced reactivity and processability, with new grades offering 20% faster cure times compared to 2020 standards. The market is seeing strong growth in specialty polyols for high-performance coatings, increasing at 10% annually, driven by demands in the automotive refinish and industrial maintenance sectors. In 2023, new energy efficiency regulations led to a 30% increase in the use of polyols for spray foam insulation in building retrofits. The industry faces challenges from environmental concerns regarding traditional polyether polyol production, but innovations in CO2-based and bio-sourced polyols are addressing these issues. Emerging applications in wearable electronics are showing promise, with polyurethane-based flexible electronics growing at 22% CAGR, albeit from a small base of 2% market share. Looking ahead, the market is expected to benefit from China's ambitious infrastructure plans, with polyols for polyurethane concrete raising agents projected to grow at 15% CAGR through 2030.
