LONDON, March 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Download the full report: https://www.reportbuyer.com/product/5363007


The global PU elastomers market is estimated to reach USD 16.63 billion by 2022 from USD 12.47 billion in 2017, at a CAGR of 5.9% from 2017 to 2022. China is the largest producer and consumer of footwear globally. However, there has been a slight shift witnessed in the production of footwear from China to other Asian countries such as India, Indonesia, Vietnam, and others.

According to World Footwear, the footwear production share in China has been declined by 2% from 2013. PU elastomers are being increasingly used to manufacture shoe, soles, and slippers. The growing demand for superior performance, abrasion resistance, and excellent appearance & attractiveness driven by rising disposable incomes and growing working class across APAC will increase the demand for PU elastomers. Increasing population and economic prosperity will further drive the footwear production in APAC.

For instance, in India the population is projected to rise to 9.3 billion by 2050, which will lead to increased footwear demand and thus, will drive the PU elastomers market. However, hazardous impact on human health as well as environment and high cost of TPU in comparison to other conventional materials are the major restraints for this market.

The TPU segment of the PU elastomers market is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
Among various types of PU elastomers, the TPU segment of the PU elastomers market is expected to grow at the highest CAGR, during the forecast period.TPU is among the most innovative products in the PU elastomer market as it has functional properties of thermoset polyurethane elastomers while possessing the strength of thermoplastics.

TPU is the major type of TPE classified on the basis of chemical resistance, heat resistance, and compatibility with other polymers. Due to these properties, TPU is used for a wide range of applications, including footwear, electrical & electronics (cable & wire), hose & tube, automotive & transportation, medical, building & construction, and so on.

The rising demand for use in various applications is expected to drive the PU elastomers market in the APAC region.
APAC is expected to be the fastest-growing market for PU elastomers.Developing economies in the region and rapid growth in footwear, automotive, and transportation industries are expected to increase the demand for PU elastomers in the region.

In addition, rapid technological advancements in automotive as well as transportation applications and increasing disposable income are encouraging the use of PU elastomers in the region. China, India, Japan, and South Korea are the key markets for PU elastomers in APAC.
