Product Definition:
PU soles are a synthetic rubber material that is used in shoes and boots to provide durability and comfort. PU soles are important because they provide cushioning and shock absorption, which can help to protect the feet from pain and injury.
Solid PU:
Solid polyurethane, also known as solid polymer or just PU is a form of synthetic thermosetting plastic with unique physical and chemical properties. It is produced by the polymerization of volatile chemicals (PUCs) such as diisocyanates, methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI), and toluene diisocyanate (TDI).
Cellular PU:
Cellular polyurethane (PU) is a type of polymer, which is derived from the reaction of diisocyanate and polyol. It has high thermal stability and excellent mechanical strength. The product finds application in various end-use industries such as automotive, construction, furniture & interiors among others. Growing demand for lightweight vehicles coupled with stringent fuel economy regulations are expected to drive the global cellular PU (CPU) soles market over the forecast period.
Application Insights:
Sports shoes accounted for the largest market share in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. Polyurethane soles are used in a variety of sports shoes, including basketball, tennis, golf and running shoes. Rising popularity of outdoor activities such as hiking and camping is anticipated to boost product demand in this segment over the forecast period.
Polyurethane footwear soles have excellent abrasion resistance which makes them suitable for use on rough surfaces including rocks, gravels & stones as well as concrete & asphalt. They also provide good traction which enables easy movement on wet or dry surfaces making them an ideal choice for use in slippers & sandals products manufactured using polyurethane foam rubber sheets combined with EVA midsole units or directly molded onto footwear soles themselves (in some cases).
Liquid polyurethanes are primarily used in women¢â‚¬â„¢s pumps.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region with a CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030 owing to increasing consumer spending on footwear and rising health consciousness among the population in countries such as China, India, Japan, South Korea, and Indonesia. In addition, growing urbanization in these countries has led consumers to prefer comfortable shoes for day-to-day use which will drive demand further.
The market in North America was valued at USD X billion in 2017 and is projected to witness steady growth over the forecast period due to high product demand for sports shoes along with an increase in preference for stylish PU soles due to its comfort features coupled with fashion appeal across various industries such as automotive & transportation (automotive interior), electrical & electronics (footwear insoles), military & defense (safety footwear) among others.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for PU soles in the footwear industry as they provide comfort and durability.
- Rising awareness about the benefits of PU soles among consumers, which is driving their demand in the market.
- Growing popularity of sports shoes that use PU soles, owing to their superior cushioning and shock absorption properties.
- Technological advancements in the production of PU soles that are making them more durable and resistant to abrasion.
