India Polyol Market Analysis: Plant Capacity, Production, Operating Efficiency, Process, Demand & Supply, End Use, Grade, Application, Sales Channel, Region, Competition, Trade, Customer & Price Intelligence Market Analysis, 2030

India Polyol market demand stood at 0.41 Million Tonnes in FY2021 and is forecast to reach 0.79 Million Tonnes by FY2030, growing at a healthy CAGR of 7.56% until FY2030. Polyol is a chemical compound having several hydroxyl groups attached to carbon atoms. There are mainly two kinds of Polyols, Polyether Polyol and Polyester Polyol, among which Polyether Polyol is the most in-demand as it is used in the manufacture of Polyurethane foams. Subsequently, increasing demand for Polyol is majorly dependent on the end-user industries for manufacturing Polyurethane foams. The total installed capacity of Polyols in India is around 150KT per annum, whereas its demand exceeds 500KT per annum. Annual production of Polyols in India is less in comparison to its increasing demand thereby, making imports, the key source for fulfilling the domestic demand for Polyol. Global manufacturers such as BASF and DOW supply high quantities of Polyol at reasonable prices in India. In order to support the import of Polyol in India, domestic manufacturers in 2016, urged the Government of India, to withdraw the anti-dumping duty on Polyol’s most demanded grade, Flexible Slab Stock Polyol as the domestic production was not enough to meet the demand.

Polyol is produced by utilizing Propylene Oxide and Ethylene Oxide. Hence, the production and availability of these two products largely affect the demand and supply of Polyol in India. The limited availability of Propylene Oxide used as a feedstock for Polyol in India is another reason for its low production.

Due to the outbreak of COVID-19 in FY2020, the world economy was disrupted. The market was affected drastically, and production and manufacturing units were shut down. Furthermore, the major market players intentionally halted the production keeping their employee’s health and wellness in mind. With imposed new regulations of the COVID-19 and proper precautions, the market is anticipated to regain its growth in the years to come. The pandemic is slowly being subsided and the effects are tried to be overcome by various methods. Once the market regains the full function of its production unit, the market is bound to show robust growth in the forecast period. Although, seeing the rising number of COVID-19 positive patients the market is anticipated to grow on the demand for vaccination process and storage in the forecast period of the market.

Polyol is further categorized into Flexible Cold Cure, Flexible Slab Stock, Rigid, and Elastomers. These grades find a variety of applications in the construction, automotive, packaging, furniture, and coating industries. Additionally, the growing preference for Polyol in roofing and footwear applications along with extensive demand as a refrigerant in refrigeration industries is expected to drive the domestic demand for Polyol during the forecast years.
