The ...
... automotive & transportation industry to be the largest consumer of polyurethane additives

Polyurethanes are used in various parts of an automobile. In addition to the foam that makes car seats comfortable, bumpers, interior “headline” ceiling sections, the car body, spoilers, doors and windows all use polyurethanes. Polyurethane enables manufacturers to provide drivers and passengers significantly more automobile mileage by reducing weight and increasing fuel economy, comfort, corrosion resistance, insulation, and sound absorption.

APAC is projected to be the largest polyurethane additives market

The polyurethane additives market in APAC is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The foams market in APAC is driven by the growing construction industry, increased consumer spending, and strong economic growth.

The recent COVID-19 pandemic is expected to impact the global automotive industry. The entire supply chain is disrupted due to limited supply of parts. For instance, Hubei province in China, which accounts for 8–10% of the Chinese auto production, is severely impacted by pandemic. Chinese suppliers around the globe have placed production lines on halt or shut them down completely. The legal and trade restrictions, such as sealed borders, increase the shortage of required parts. Such disruptions in supply chain is expected to affect the assembly of OEMs in Europe and North America.
