The global natural oil polyols market size is expected to reach USD 11.40 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 7.8% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market demand is driven by the increasing demand for lightweight and highly durable products in industries, including automotive, construction, and electronics, especially in emerging economies such as China, India, and Indonesia.
The growth of the market is likely to be propelled by the increasing consumption of bio-based polyurethane foams in automotive, construction, electrical and electronics, and other sectors. Regular efforts to reduce vehicle weight to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce carbon emissions have propelled the automotive OEMs to embrace the use of polyurethane foams obtained from natural oils polyol in different automotive components, such as seat covers and interiors.
Soy oil polyols are majorly used as an alternative industrial ingredient for polyurethane products in binder systems, such as carpet backing. They are also used as flexible foams in upholstered furniture, automobile seats, mattresses, pillows, and carpet cushions. The surging demand for soy oil polyols for use in food and animal feed is also estimated to fuel the growth of this segment.
The expanding construction sector in Asia Pacific is anticipated to drive the demand for natural oils polyol-based products in building components, such as insulation protective materials, exterior panels, and housing electronics. The market is highly competitive due to the presence of a large number of multinationals that are engaged in constant research & development activities. Companies such as Cargill, Incorporated; BASF SE; Jayant Agro-Organics Ltd.; and Mitsui Chemicals, Inc. dominate the market with a range of products for each application market and their global brand presence.
