North America Polyurethane (PU) Market is expected to reach USD 19.18 billion by 2024. Polyurethane (PU) is a most adaptable plastic material formed by reacting a polyol with a polymeric isocyanate or di-isocyanate in presence of additives and catalyst. It is also termed as polycarbamates. They have high abrasion resistance, low in cost, good low temperature quality, and wide molecular structural variability. North America Polyurethane (PU) Market is estimated to grow at a significant CAGR of 4.2% over the forecast period as the scope and its applications are rising enormously across the globe.
Increasing anxiety regarding energy efficacy in the region, technological enhancement, growing customer awareness regarding thermal insulation, rising shift towards sustainable construction, and presence of major industries in the region are documented as major factors of North America Polyurethane (PU) Market that are estimated to enhance the growth in the years to come. However, poor thermal capability and weather ability and its flammable property may restrain overall market growth in the coming years. North America Polyurethane (PU) industry is segmented based on product type, end use, and region
