The demand for Propylene Oxide is various industries like footwear, construction, packaging, automotive, and furniture is expected to surge its demand in the coming period. Polyurethanes manufactured from Propylene Oxide are in great demand due to its multiple characteristics like density, hardness, and rigidity. Polyurethanes are heavily used in the furniture industry and interior goods due to the rise in industrialization. Propylene Oxide is used as a raw material for manufacturing polyester that is then used to manufacture paints, insulators, and solvents. However, there are alternatives that are emerging recently for Propylene Oxide which are inhibiting the growth of the Propylene Oxide market. Hazardous effects on living things and the environment due to Chlorohydrin Process is hindering the growth of the market. Nevertheless, the increasing spending on infrastructure in the emerging economies of the Asia Pacific region is likely to provide good opportunities for the Propylene Oxide market in the forecast period.
The market of the Propylene Oxide market is segmented on the basis of application, production process, and end-user. As per the application analysis, the market for polyether polyols is expected to drive the market owing to the amplifies demand from the polyurethane industry as it is widely used in multiple industries. As per the process application, the propylene oxide market is divided into Chlorohydrin Process is expected to dominate the market as it is majorly used as a feedstock agent and is in high demand owing to its minimum processing cost. As per the end-user analysis, the market for Building & Construction industry is expected to use Propylene Oxide on a large scale as it is used in multiple products that are used in the construction industry such as adhesives, coatings, sealants, and elastomers.
As per the regional analysis, the market is divided into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Globally, the Asia Pacific region is expected to dominate the market in the forecast period owing to the vigorous growth in the construction sector and increasing demand for automobiles. The growing population among these emerging economies with their growing disposable income and rapid industrialization are anticipated to drive the propylene oxide market.
