Polyurethane foam is used in insulation, adhesives, sealants, and binders in a variety of construction products and other applications. Polyurethane foams are highly flexible materials, which help reduce total infrastructural costs by minimizing energy consumption in buildings. They enable architects to insulate buildings in an improved manner, which reduces the consumptions of gas, oil, and electricity in them. This has led increased use of polyurethane foams for building insulation application.

Polyols are majorly used to manufacture polyurethane foams. Growing concerns regarding the use of fossil fuels and the impact of plastics on the environment have led the polyurethane foam industry to continuously strive for sustainable business practice. Bio-derived materials, such as soy-based polyols, offer significant advantages over conventional polyols in terms of sustainability and cost-effectiveness. They also reduce dependence on petroleum-based raw materials. These factors offer an opportunity for polyurethane manufacturers to reduce their dependency on petroleum-based raw materials for the production of polyurethane foams and also to reduce the manufacturing costs of these foams.

The Asia-Pacific region dominates the global polyurethane foam market owing to increasing construction activities in emerging economies such as China, India, Vietnam, etc. Furthermore, the market is expected to benefit from increased penetration of polyurethane foam producers in these countries due to low-cost manufacturing and strong demand throughout the projected period. Increasing demand from the bedding and furniture industry owing to rising urban population in emerging economies of Asia Pacific such as China, India, and Indonesia is anticipated to drive growth over the forecast period. Although, strong economic development in India and China has shifted the equilibrium and Asia Pacific is expected to emerge as the leading consumer. The shift of leading automotive manufacturers to countries such as India and Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia from mature economies of North America and Europe has complimented the growth of the industry in the region.
