Polyurethane Adhesives Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on the polyurethane adhesives industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help deduce end goals and refine marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Polyurethane Adhesives Market Driver

One of the key factors driving growth in the market is the increasing demand for polyurethane adhesives by the footwear industry. Polyurethane adhesives exhibit excellent resistance to impacts and are thus popularly used in the footwear industry. These adhesives provide flexible, strong, and durable adhesion to a variety of substrates used by the footwear industry. The rising demand for waterborne heat-activated adhesive solutions by the footwear industry has led manufacturers to focus on high-quality polyurethane adhesives. The global footwear market was valued at USD 203.5 billion in 2016 and is expected to reach USD 225.6 billion by 2021, growing at a CAGR of 2.08%. The market in APAC is expected to grow at a fast rate during the forecast period and is estimated to account for 0.79% of the market share by the end of the forecast period. Factors such as the ever-rising population and high birth rate are some of the key market drivers. In addition, the rise in disposable income has increased the average spending on footwear. There has been an increase in awareness about unhealthy footwear that can cause ankle problems and inflammation of the connecting tissues at the bottom of the foot. The rising demand for footwear will drive the demand for polyurethane adhesives as they exhibit superior quality and durability.

Key Polyurethane Adhesives Market Challenge

The volatile prices of raw materials will be a major challenge for the market during the forecast period. Several chemicals that are used to manufacture polyurethane adhesives are derived from crude oil, such as polyols, and diisocyanates such as TDI and MDI. The oil and gas industry is one of the key suppliers of raw materials in the global market as these adhesives are produced from petroleum fractions. Fluctuations in crude oil prices have an adverse impact on the price of raw materials, thereby affecting the costs of polyurethane adhesives. The price of crude oil (per barrel) decreased at a rate of nearly 60% from 2015 to 2016. In 2016, Dow Polyurethanes Europe, India, the Middle East, and Africa announced an increase in the price of raw materials such as polyols, TDI, and MDI products from May 1, 2016. Acute shortage and/or unavailability of raw materials and price fluctuations can adversely affect operational efficiency and the cost of polyurethane adhesives.
