Product Definition:
A Flexible PU Catalyst is a molecule that helps two other molecules to bond. This type of catalyst is important because it can help create strong, flexible bonds between different molecules. These types of bonds are important for many different industries, including the automotive and construction industries.
Reactive Amine Catalysts:
Reactive amine catalysts are chemical compounds containing one or more nitrogen (N) groups. Nitrogen-based chemicals can be divided into three general categories: polymers, amines and quaternary ammonium salts. Amine-based products include primary, secondary and tertiary amino groups; while polymer-based products include Nylon 6, Nylon 66 and Polypropylene (PP).
Non-reactive Amine Catalysts:
Non-reactive amine catalysts are used in the production of flexible polyurethane (PU) foam. Flexible PU is a type of polymer, which can be molded into various shapes and sizes for several applications such as carpet cushioning, furniture & bedding, automotive interiors and exterior surfaces protection from UV rays. The growing demand for PU based products in various end-use industries including construction & building is expected to drive the market over the forecast period.
Application Insights:
Furniture was the largest application segment in 2017 and is projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. The growing furniture industry across developing countries such as India, China and Brazil is expected to drive demand for flexible polyurethane catalyst (Flexi-PUC). Furthermore, increasing product penetration in various furniture applications including upholstery, chairs and sofas will fuel market growth.
The clothing segment held a share of 15.1% of the global Flexible PU Catalyst market revenue in 2017 owing to rising demand for sportswear especially from emerging countries such as China, Indonesia and Malaysia. Rising participation levels in sports activities coupled with high disposable income has led to an increase in fitness centers which further drives clothing sales which eventually benefits the use of FPCs.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region is home to several emerging economies, including China, India, Indonesia and Vietnam. Increasing population coupled with rising living standards have spurred consumer spending in these countries which has led to a surge in demand for household furniture and bedding products as well as clothing among others. This trend is projected to continue over the coming years thus driving product demand across this region.
The transportation industry emerged as a major end-user of flexible polyurethane catalyst on account of high fuel consumption by vehicles along with stringent government regulations pertaining to carbon emission caused from automotive industries are likely contributors for higher utilization of alternative fuels such as flexifuel diesel which boasts high energy density along with low emission levels compared to conventional petroleum based fuels thus augmenting product demand across this application segment over the forecast period.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for PU catalysts in the automotive and construction industries due to their properties such as heat resistance, weathering resistance, and chemical resistance.
- Growing demand for flexible PU catalysts from the footwear industry on account of their properties such as high flexibility, good abrasion resistance, and low-temperature performance.
- Rising demand for PU catalysts from the medical industry owing to their ability to impart flame retardancy and smoke suppression characteristics to polyurethane products used in medical applications.
- Increasing use of flexible PU catalysts in manufacturing lightweight vehicles due to their superior mechanical properties compared with traditional metal alloys used in vehicle manufacturing processses .
