Product Definition:
Thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU) are a type of thermoplastic elastomer. They are made from a blend of polyester and polyurethane, and can be produced in both solid and flexible forms. Thermoplastic polyurethanes have many applications, but are most commonly used in transportation due to their high resistance to wear and tear.
Polyester-based TPU:
Polyester-based TPU, also known as Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) or Polyamide (PA), is a thermoplastic polymer. It is a type of polyester resin that contains repeat units of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. These raw materials are combined to form polyesteramides which are further processed to obtain the final product for transportation applications in automotive, aircraft components and others.
Polyether-based TPU:
Polyether-based TPUs are thermoplastic polyurethanes that are manufactured using Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK) as a raw material. They offer several beneficial properties such as low density, high strength, and excellent flexibility at low temperatures which make them suitable for use in the automotive industry.
The global market is expected to witness significant growth on account of increasing demand from various end-use industries including automotive & transportation and building & construction among others.
Application Insights:
The automotive application segment led the global thermo plastics polyurethanes (TPU) for transportation market in 2017. It is estimated to register a CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030. TPUs are increasingly being used in the automotive industry on account of their excellent properties such as low water absorption, high flexibility and durability. They can be easily processed at standard temperatures and possess good processing characteristics making them suitable for use in vehicle interiors as well as exteriors.
Inflatable raft was the second largest application segment accounted for by the product demand in 2017 owing to its rising applications across various industries including oil & gas, marine, construction and leisure activities among others where it is used as an emergency life-saving device or recreational activity floatation device among other uses such as a barrier against pollution or protection against UV rays which are expected to drive its demand further over the forecast period.
Regional Analysis:
North America is expected to be the largest regional market over the forecast period owing to growing automotive production and investments in infrastructural development. The U.S., which is one of the major consumers of thermo plastics, accounted for a share of more than 30% in North America market in 2017 on account of increasing demand from various application segments such as Automotive, Construction & Infrastructure, Sports & Leisure and others.
The Asia Pacific region accounted for a significant share due to rapid urbanization along with industrial growth especially in China and India has led to an increase spending on construction activities resulting into high TPU consumption across this region. In addition, rising disposable income coupled with growing consumer awareness regarding its benefits will drive regional product demand further over the next eight years into 2030.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for lightweight and fuel-efficient vehicles
- Growing popularity of electric and hybrid vehicles
- Rising automotive production in developing countries
- Proliferation of advanced materials in transportation sector
- Stringent government regulations for fuel economy and emissions
