Market Growth Factors

Polyols, organic compounds that contain two or more hydroxyl groups, are useful for functional properties along with health benefits and people regard them as versatile materials. In 2024, the Europe polyols market was worth USD 7,851.5 Million and should be worth USD 11,526.5 Million by 2033. The CAGR should be 4.4% during the forecast. The rising demand in the use of flexible polyurethane foams in automotive interiors such as seating, headrests, armrests, heating and ventilating headliners, etc., is expected to propel the market growth.

Apart from their use in automotive and furniture industries, polyols have a wide range of pharmaceutical applications due to their non-cariogenic effect and lack of postprandial (after-meal) blood sugar effect. Polyols are used in a wide variety of made manufactured food products, including candies, chewing gum, yogurt, fruit preserves, and ice creams, as a sugar substitute. This has a meaningful impact on consumer health demand.

Synthetic polyurethane polyols are used in the industrial sector for mining, construction, electronics and aerospace as insulation. The ability to support such utility and applications in the field of consumer product packaging can greatly sustain the growth of the polyols market in different verticals across Europe in the years to come.
