Bio-Based PU Market Introduction

Bio-based PU is produced from sustainable substitutes of petroleum. Bio-based PU is a promising alternative to conventional petroleum-based PU as they have reduced carbon content, are more environmentally friendly, and are biodegradable. The intensity of participation in the global bio-based PU market is expected to increase as it offers promising growth in the coming years. Existing chemical market players are collaborating and investing huge capital in other research institutes and biotechnology firms for the development of new bio-based PU products and for the optimization of the methods of bio-based PU production.

Bio-Based PU Market Dynamics

Bio-Based PU Market Drivers

Bio-based PU is more cost-stable as compared to the conventional fossil-fuel (petroleum) based PU as fossil fuels suffer from intense fluctuations in availability, trade, and hence their prices. Also, the performance of bio-based PU is comparable to that of petroleum-based PU. Therefore, a competitive advantage of bio-based PU from conventional PU in terms of its cost stability and performance is expected to be one of the key factors driving the growth of the global bio-based PU market.

Furthermore, the utilization of bio-based PU instead of petroleum-based PU helps reduce the carbon footprint of industries. The industries are more focused on the adoption of sustainable methods of production and manufacturing. This factor has significantly resulted in the increasing demand for bio-based PU from industries such as automotive, construction, and paints and coatings among others that are trying to achieve their sustainability goals and offer more environment-friendly products to the consumers. Therefore, an increase in the global awareness for the utilization of bio-based PU amongst industrialists is driving the growth of the global bio-based PU market.

Bio-Based PU Market Restraints

Although bio-based PU is cost stable, the prices of bio-based PU are higher as compared to the conventional petroleum-based PU because the production of bio-based PU is comparably difficult and requires additional investments. This factor significantly restraints the sales of the global bio-based PU market and acts as a significant restraint against the growth of the global bio-based PU market.
