Global Isocyanates Market - Trends and Forecasts (2017-2022) - Huge Growth in End-Use Segments - Research and Markets

The "Global Isocyanates Market - Segmented by Type, Application, End-User Industry and Geography - Trends and Forecasts (2017 - 2022)" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

The isocyanate market is mainly driven by the huge growth in end-use segments of the polyurethanes industry, growing industrialization activities in major developing economies such as China, Japan, and India and advancement in technology. However, this market faces certain drawbacks like the stringent government regulations, environmental concerns and its highly toxic and hazardous nature, which may act as roadblocks to the growth of the market.

The global isocyanates market can be categorized by the type of isocyanate, application and end-user industry. By type, isocyanates are segmented into methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI), toluene diisocyanate (TDI), aliphatic isocyanate and other isocyanates. By application, the global isocyanate market is segmented into rigid foam, flexible foam, paints & coatings, adhesives & sealants, elastomers and binders.

The market has also been geographically segmented into Asia-Pacific, North America, Europe, South America, and the Middle East & Africa. With the majority of the market driven by China and India, Asia-Pacific is expected to witness a significant growth over the forecast period, followed by North America and Europe. Due to the increasing regulatory intervention from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding the environmental and health effects associated with MDI and TDI, North America is expected to register a moderate demand. Due to the stringent environmental regulations and low-growth in end-user industries, the European demand for the isocyanate market is estimated to grow at a slow rate. The global demand for the high-efficiency bio-based isocyanates is anticipated to offer huge growth opportunities.
