Global Diisocyanates: toluene diisocyanate (TDI) and methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) Market

Diisocyanates (DII) are a family of versatile chemical building blocks that are used to produce polyurethane. The diisocyanates used for polyurethane production are divided into two segments, aliphatic and aromatic DII. Aliphatic DII are straight-chain compounds while Aromatic DII is cyclic. There are two primary aromatic diisocyanates: toluene diisocyanate (TDI) and methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI). TDI and MDI are reacted with polyols to create polyurethane.

This report consists of a comprehensive value chain analysis for the polyurethane market. The report provides a conjunction between the application and growth of this vertical in terms of economic expansion. For instance, TDI is used for the production of flexible foams, i.e. they are increasingly used in industries that produce mattresses, couches, and cushions. TDI is also used in the automotive sector for manufacturing lighter parts of the vehicle. Thus, optimizing the fuel consumption associated with a relatively lightweight automobile. Additionally, the chemical compound is also used in packaging.

MDI is available in two forms including pure MDI and polymeric MDI (PDMI). Pure MDI is used as a raw material in the manufacturing processes for coatings, adhesives, sealants as well as elastomers. Some of the end products obtained from these specialties include paints, glues, and weather-resistant materials. PMDI is employed in the development of rigid, semi-rigid as well as flexible foams. The chemical compound is also used in the fabrication of polyisocyanurate and thermoset foams.

The value chain for the MDI branches to everyday end-products including home and refrigerator insulants. Therefore, the rising quality of life along the geographic locations dictate the upsurge of this market. MDI is also used to conserve energy as insulants in the form of rigid polyurethane foams. According to the American Council of Chemistry, the product has applications in the development of binders for the food as well as the foundry sector. Aliphatic DII is used to produce color stable polyurethane coatings and elastomers.

The growth in the consumer products industry is expected to drive the polyurethane market. Its applications in the expanding consumer electronics segment are anticipated to propel the growth of this market. The rising disposable income and increased purchasing power amongst the middle-class population increase their affordability in terms of consumer products. The chemical is also used in the Sports as well as Leisure based Footwear market owing to its properties like lightweight and high abrasion resistance.

On a regional scale, APAC is expected to be the fastest-growing market owing to the increased industrialization within this segment. The growing construction, manufacturing as well as automotive activities within this market are likely to boost sales for polyurethane. Within APAC, China is the largest consumer of polyurethane. This is due to the increased research and application of this product across verticals.  The insulation properties of this material increases its application in cold regions including North America as well as Europe. Houses within this region make use of laminate insulation to improve thermal heat captivity within them. Laminate insulation is majorly used to cover floors in order to prevent heat dissipation. Therefore, the energy used by heating devices is optimized in the process.

On performing a quantitative analysis based on the value chain it is seen that the construction segment is expected to be one of the largest market sectors. The growing industrialization and commercialization on a worldwide basis are expected to boost market growth.

One of the key constraints for this market is the rising number of environmental regulations implied in production. Moreover, ecologically sustainable substitutes like epoxy-based coatings are also available within the market. On the business front, the market leaders have been focusing on the fabrication of environmentally friendly products. The key players within this market have been trying to shift to renewable chemicals feedstock for polyurethane. Alternative production methods are also being devised to exude the use of toxic and hazardous chemicals.

Several global reforms are being executed to secure the polyurethane trade on a global basis. On an environmental front, the OECD countries agreed to revise their regulations based on the export of hazardous plastic waste for recycling in Sept 2020. The cooperation has agreed to devise standards that are in line with the international changes. The regulation also states that advance consent would be required from the destination country prior to shipping.

Another drawback faced by this market is the fluctuating prices of oil. Most of the polymer derivatives are derived from petroleum refineries. This sector has a volatile and vastly variable margin which hereafter alters the growth trends associated with this market.

This report can also be used to understand the strategic and competitive mapping across several geographic regions. In 2020, BASF’s Coatings division released a range of waterborne coatings for the automotive sector. The company has developed four distinctive AUVOT shapes that represent different automotive features. With increased efficiency and advanced features, the polyurethane end product is expected to increase segment sales. The product also provides increased interaction between the display, color, and light settings for an automotive.
