The global Polyols Market is segmented on the basis of type, application, end-user and geography. In terms of type, the market is segmented into Polyether Polyol and Polyester Polyol. Based on applications, the market is segmented into polyurethane rigid foam, polyurethane flexible foam, CASE (coating, adhesive, sealant and elastomer) and others. On the basis of end-user industry, the market is segmented into construction, transportation, furniture, packaging, carpet backing and others. Geographically, the market is segmented across Europe, North America, Asia Pacific and LAMEA. Major Asian countries like India, China, Japan, and Malaysia are the emerging and most promising markets for polyols.
Moreover, the price volatility of crude oil in the global market creates a demand-supply gap in the polyol market. Therefore, numerous manufacturers are stepping into the production of bio-based polyols from feedstock such as corn, soya, rapeseed, castor, canola, palm, etc. The Mitsui- SKC joint venture will facilitate the operations of the bio-based polyols manufacturing facility in Gujarat, of Vithal Castor Polyols Pvt Ltd.
