1. GLOBAL POLYURETHANE ELASTOMER MARKET

OVERVIEW
1.1. SCOPE
Polyurethane Elastomers are one of the most versatile polymers in todays market whose
performance and characteristics are designed in a way such that it can meet certain technical
demands in the sector of elastomers. They have peculiar characteristics like excellent mechanical
properties, good elastic and transparency characteristics, and resistance towards abrasion, light,
ozone, to oxidation and atmospheric agents. Polyurethane elastomers are based on two classes
poly addition of diol-ester (AU) or diol-ethers (EU) with diisocyanate. The study includes the
demand of this particular market on a global and regional scale for a six year period of 20142020, both in terms of volume(kilo tons) and revenue($ million).
MDI (Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate) and TDI (Toulene diisocyanate) are used as primary raw
materials for polyurethanes. This study gives detailed information about the product value chain
right from the beginning which includes raw materials till end-use. The market is evaluated based
on the key attributes such as the power in the hands of producers and consumers, analysis on the
degree of competition, and threats from substitutes and new entrants.
