The green and bio polyols market size is expected to reach USD 14.17 billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Green and Bio Polyols Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report By Polyurethane (Flexible Polyurethane Foams, Rigid Polyurethane Foams), By Bio polyol, By Source Materials, By End Use Industry, By Region – Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

Green and bio polyols are environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional petroleum-based polyols, used primarily in the production of polyurethanes. They are derived from renewable sources such as vegetable oils, castor oil, and recycled materials.

Green and bio polyols are major ingredients in making polyurethane products such as flexible foams, rigid foams, adhesives, coatings, and sealants. The use of bio-based polyols is increasing with growing demand for these products in industries such as automotive, packaging, furniture, and construction. Bio polyols offer similar or even improved performance compared to conventional polyols while being more environmentally friendly. Their versatility and compatibility with existing production processes make them a preferred choice. This rising demand across various applications is significantly driving market growth as industries seek sustainable yet high-performing alternatives.

Governments around the world are enforcing stricter environmental regulations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote the use of renewable materials. These rules are encouraging industries to switch from fossil-based raw materials to bio-based alternatives like green polyols. Regulations in Europe and North America support the use of sustainable raw materials in manufacturing. These policies support environmental goals and offer tax incentives or subsidies to companies that adopt green practices. Consequently, many manufacturers are investing in bio-based polyols to comply with regulations while maintaining their market presence.
