Propylene Oxide Market: Segments

Polyether Polyols segment to grow with the highest CAGR during 2020-2030

The Propylene Oxide Market is segmented by Application into Polyether Polyols and Propylene Glycol. The Polyether Polyols segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR from 20202 to 2030. The growth in this segment is due to the increasing demand for polyurethane foams from various end-use industries such as automotive, construction and construction, textiles and furniture, and packaging. Polyether polyols are mainly used in polyurethane foams. Applications such as furniture, bedding, and car seats, as well as under the carpet. Rigid foam is widely used in the construction industry, where it is mainly used for insulation. Rigid foam is also used in commercial refrigeration and packaging.

Chlorohydrin segment to grow with the highest CAGR during 2020-2030

The Propylene Oxide Market is segmented by Process into Chlorohydrin, Styrene Monomer, TBA Co-Product, Cumene-based, Hydrogen Peroxide. The Chlorohydrin process has dominated the Propylene Oxide Market for several years. The market segment for hydrogen peroxide processes is expected to grow with the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Propylene Oxide Market: Market Dynamics

Drivers

Increasing use of propylene glycol

Propylene glycol is widely used as a construction chemical for paints, grouts, adhesives, caulking materials, and coatings in both infrastructure and the construction industry. Another industry that is booming recently is the automotive industry, which directly benefits the Propylene Oxide as the products are used in a range of components such as flexible foams, paints, adhesives, and sealants. Thus, it can be said that the Propylene Oxide is inextricably linked with the automotive industry.

Increased Demand for Polyurethanes

Polyurethanes are made from polyether polyols and have properties such as density, stiffness, and hardness, which increases their demand in the Propylene Oxide. The increasing consumption of products made from propylene glycol, polyethylene glycols, and propylene glycols should stimulate the propylene oxide market. technological progress and the medical field.

Restraints

Fluctuating raw material prices and alternatives

Recently, there have been volatile prices for raw materials and alternatives such as alkylene carbonate to propylene oxide which could potentially curb the free growth of the Propylene Oxide Market and the emergence of low-cost alternatives
