The global thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) market size reached US$ 2.8 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 4.7 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6% during 2024-2032. The growing utilization of TPU-based sealants and adhesives, increasing sales of biodegradable plastic, and rising need to produce automotive components represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) refers to a melt-processable thermoplastic elastomer that is manufactured by extrusion, injection, blow and compression molding equipment. It is widely available as polyester, polyether, and polycaprolactone and has good tensile strength and high load bearing capacity. It is lightweight, transparent, flexible, highly durable, non-toxic, and resistant to oil, grease, abrasion, high-energy radiation, ultraviolet (UV) rays, weather. It is environmentally friendly, recyclable, and can be soft as a rubber or hard as rigid plastic. It is capable of providing many combinations due to its physical properties and flexibility. It can be easily washed, sterilized, welded, painted, and die-cut while having high damping capacity. As a result, thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is employed in the automotive, construction, medical, textiles, and electrical and electronics industries across the globe.

Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) Market Trends:
Presently, the rising adoption of TPU in the automotive industry to produce various automobile components, such as airbags, doors, bumper, seats, vehicle wiring and antivibration panels, and attachment clips, represents one of the key factors strengthening the growth of the market. Besides this, the growing utilization of TPU in the footwear industry to manufacture anti-slip and abrasion-resistance soles is positively influencing the market. In addition, the increasing demand for biodegradable and eco-friendly plastics is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors. Apart from this, the rising adoption of TPU as a substitute for PVC in various medical applications, such as mattresses, dental materials, and gel shoe orthotics, is impelling the growth of the market. Moreover, governing agencies of various countries are encouraging the adoption of environmentally friendly products that do not harm the environment and decrease carbon footprint, which is offering a positive market outlook. This, coupled with the increasing employment of TPU to manufacture conveyor belts, electrical wires, power cable sheathing, equipment connectors, and drive belts, is supporting the growth of the market. In addition to this, the rising utilization of TPU-based sealants and adhesives in several industries due to high green strength is contributing to the growth of the market. Furthermore, the increasing adoption of TPU in textile products to produce heat-sealable fabrics is strengthening the market growth.
