Research Summary
Polyols, short for polyhydric alcohols, are compounds with multiple hydroxyl (OH) functional groups. These versatile chemicals are used in the production of polyurethane foams, resins, and other polymers. Common polyols include polyether polyols, derived from the polymerization of ethylene oxide or propylene oxide, and polyester polyols, synthesized from the reaction between dicarboxylic acids and glycols. Polyols play a critical role in the formation of polyurethanes, where they react with diisocyanates to create a wide range of materials with diverse properties. The choice of polyols influences the characteristics of the final polyurethane product, affecting factors such as flexibility, hardness, and resilience. Polyols are extensively employed in industries such as construction, automotive, and furniture manufacturing for their contributions to the production of flexible and rigid foams, elastomers, and coatings.
According to DIResearch's in-depth investigation and research, the global Polyols market size was valued at XX Million USD in 2024 and is projected to reach XX Million USD by 2032, with a CAGR of XX% (2025-2032). Notably, the China market has changed rapidly in the past few years. By 2024, China's market size is expected to be XX Million USD, representing approximately XX% of the global market share.
