Global Polycarbodiimides Market Growth 2025-2031
Description
The global Polycarbodiimides market size is predicted to grow from US$ 79.5 million in 2025 to US$ 167 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13.2% from 2025 to 2031.
Polycarbodiimides (CDIs) are highly reactive functional resin modifiers having excellent compatibility with a wide range of resins. They can be prepared by treating sterically hindered mono- or polyisocyanates with basic catalysts with simultaneous elimination of carbon dioxide.
Global key players of Polycarbodiimides include LANXESS, Stahl, Angus Chemical Company, BASF and Nisshinbo, etc. Top five players occupy for a share about 78%. APAC is the largest market, with a share about 37%, followed by Americas and Europe . In terms of product, Cross-Linking Agents is the largest segment, with a share over 57%. In terms of application, Plastic is the largest market, with a share over 52%.
In terms of application, polycarbodiimide is mainly used in paints and coatings, plastic products and other fields. As a polymer cross-linking agent, it forms a network structure through a cross-linking reaction with a resin system containing carboxyl groups, thereby significantly improving the chemical resistance, wear resistance and hydrolysis resistance of the water-based coating. In addition, polycarbodiimide also has the characteristics of low toxicity, zero VOC, easy dispersion, long pot life, and mild curing conditions, making it an ideal choice for formulating high-performance coatings or finishing agents.
In terms of environmental protection, polycarbodiimide, as an environmentally friendly water-based cross-linking agent, helps improve the performance of water-based coatings or finishing agents while reducing its impact on the environment. As environmental regulations become increasingly stringent and consumer demand for environmentally friendly products increases, the application of polycarbodiimides in environmentally friendly coatings and materials is expected to continue to expand.
In summary, polycarbodiimide, as a high-performance polymer cross-linking agent, has broad application prospects in multiple industries, and the market size is expected to continue to grow. With the advancement of technology and the expansion of application fields, polycarbodiimide is expected to play a more important role in the future.
