Polyurethane Chemicals and Products in Asia Pacific (APAC) 2025- Volume 3 - Rigid Foam
Description
This is the third volume in a series of eight, examining the market for polyurethane
chemicals and their use in the manufacture of polyurethane products in Asia-
Pacific. This volume focuses specifically on polyurethane rigid foam.
Each volume can be used alone and includes a summary containing details of the
total use of polyurethane chemicals.
This new study revises and updates IAL’s research of the polyurethane industry in
Asia-Pacific. It builds upon ongoing research into various sectors conducted in
recent years.
The information contained within this report is based upon an extensive programme
of interviews throughout the industry, involving raw materials producers and
suppliers, end users, systems houses and relevant trade associations and industry
experts.
The research for this report was undertaken in the first half of 2025, when
respondents were able to discuss figures for the full year of 2024. This report
contains raw material consumption figures for the production of all major
polyurethane product types, for the year 2024 and forecasts to 2029.
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
This report describes the supply and demand of raw materials in the following
geographic regions:
East Asia
China (mainland, including Hong Kong and Macao)
Japan
South Korea
Taiwan
South East Asia and Oceania
Australia
Indonesia
Malaysia
New Zealand
Philippines
Thailand
Singapore
Vietnam
Rest of Asia
South Asia
Bangladesh
India
Pakistan
Product Scope
This volume provides information on the production of PU rigid foam and related
consumption of the principal PU raw materials, with estimates for 2024 and
forecasts for 2029.
METHODOLOGY
Information provided in this volume has been obtained from existing in-house data
and an extensive programme of interviews with leading product manufacturers,
trade associations, raw materials producers and systems houses across Asia-
Pacific. Published data and statistics have also been reviewed in order to produce
as accurate figures as possible for the consumption of raw materials in the
production of polyurethane products.
Forecasts for the production of PU products and consumption of raw materials
have been calculated for the year 2029, based upon industry and economic
forecasts as well as upon other relevant commercial and technical issues likely to
affect individual market sectors and products. Detailed market analyses of all
product sectors are presented in the relevant volumes.
Slight discrepancies in the totals may occur, due to rounding.
PRODUCTS AND END USES
The production of polyurethane rigid foams and related raw material demand is
broken down as follows:
All the volumes quoted in this report related to tonnes of finished product and
tonnes of raw material consumed, unless otherwise stated.
FORECASTS
The forecasts included in this report are based upon industry comments and
economic indicators. It can be difficult to present a summary of forecasts for all the
various types of polyurethane materials because of the many different factors
which may affect the market. Manufacturers themselves are often unable to agree
whether a market will increase or decrease, preferring instead to quote the factors
most likely to influence it.
Forecasts for changes in production by product type and by each application are
given for each country covered in this report. These are five-year forecasts, derived
from industry comments and expectations, both from the end users and raw
material sectors of the polyurethane industry. Forecasts for production in 2029 are
given alongside the actual production figures provided for 2024. Additional
statistical information to support the market figures for each end-use sector is
provided in Volume 8 of this report.
FORMULATIONS
The multitude of proprietary formulations used in the various product sectors of the
polyurethanes industry means that a number of assumptions have to be
necessarily made with respect to product formulations.
