Global Polycarbonate Polyol Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Polycarbonate Polyol market size is predicted to grow from US$ 203 million in 2025 to US$ 259 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.1% from 2025 to 2031.

Polycarbonate polyol refers to a type of polymer that contains repeating carbonate groups (—O—COO—) in the main chain of the molecule and the end of the chain is hydroxyl (—OH). The most common is polycarbonate diol. Polycarbonate diol (PCD) is a kind of polyol chemical materials, with two ends -OH functional group molecular, and molecular weight ranges from hundreds to thousands. Its molecular chain contains aliphatic alkyl and carbonate repeat unit, chemical property resembles aliphatic polyester and polyether polyol rather than general polycarbonate materials. Polycarbonate diol usually used for the synthesis of urethane resin, acrylic resin, polyester resin and other materials.

The main global Polycarbonate Polyol players include UBE Chemical, osoh, ovestro, sahi Kasei, etc. The top four Polycarbonate Polyol players account for approximately 45% of the total global market. China is the largest consumer market for Polycarbonate Polyol, accounting for about 35%, followed by Europe and North America.
