A
new research report by Transparency Market Research offers a
comprehensive evaluation of the global Polyether
Polyols
market. The study,
titled “Polyether
Polyols Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth,
Trends and Forecast 2014 - 2020”,
is available for sale on the firm’s website.
Polyether
polyols is a type of polyols which contains ether chain and has two
or more hydroxyl group attached to the terminal groups. Polyether
polyols are manufactured through catalytic addition reaction of
cyclic ethers or epoxides. Cyclic ethers such as ethene oxides,
propene oxides and butene oxides are preferred in the manufacturing
of polyether polyols. The initiators used in manufacturing process of
polyester polyols include amines, glycols, sucrose, water and
polyols. Polyether polyols are water soluble polymers with wide range
of compositions. With the help of proper initiator and cyclic ether,
number of low to high molecular weight polyglycols and resins can be
manufactured.

Physical
properties of the polyether polyols depends upon the length of the
polymer chain. Polyether polyols comprises huge market share in
polymeric polyols used in various industries. Based on the cell
structure, the market for polyester polyols are classified as
flexible polyether polyols, rigid polyether polyols and specialty
polyether polyols. Rigid and flexible polyester polyols are among the
contributors in the market.
The
market for polyether polyols was mainly driven by huge demand from
polyurethane industry. Polyether polyols are used in manufacturing of
polyurethane foams. Polyurethane flexible foams are used in numerous
applications such as bedding, furniture, carpets interlay and car
interior and seats among others. Polyurethane rigid foams are used in
refrigeration and packaging. In addition, polyether polyols are also
used in manufacturing of polyurethane fibers. Polyether polyols finds
applications in various end-user industries such as adhesives &
sealants, synthetic lubricants, elastomers and surface active agents
among others. Specialty polyether polyols are used in manufacturing
specialty coatings, castings, adhesives, inks and defoamers among
others.
In
addition, polyether polyols are also used in functional fluids used
for special applications. Increasing demand for bio based polyether
polyols manufactured from natural oils is environmentally sustainable
due to huge feedstock. Bio based polyether polyols is one of the
major opportunities in the global polyether polyols market in next
few years to come. However, health hazards associated with polyols
are anticipated to hinder the growth of the global polyether polyols
market over the forecast period.
In
terms of demand, Asia Pacific was the leading region in polyether
polyols market in 2013. Asia Pacific is also predicted to be the
fastest growing region for polyether polyols owing to huge demand for
polyurethane foams from end-user industries. China had the highest
demand for polyether polyols in the Asia Pacific region. India,
Taiwan and other Asian countries are likely to offer huge
opportunities for the polyether polyols market in upcoming years.
Asia Pacific was followed by Europe. Increasing demand of polyether
polyols from polyurethane foam market which find applications in
furniture and bedding industry is driving the market in this region.

Western
Europe had the highest demand for polyether polyols in this region.
However, central Europe is expected to increase its market share over
the forecast period. North America had the third highest demand for
polyether polyols. In 2013, The U.S. had the largest demand for
polyether polyols in North America. Rest of the World market is
projected to demonstrate optimistic growth for the polyether polyols
market in near future. The Middle East is likely to exhibit higher
demand for polyether polyols in near future.
