Polyols Market Size, Share, Opportunities, And Trends By Type (Polyether Polyols, Polyester Polyols, Bio Polyols), By Application (Foams, Rigid, Flexible, CASE (Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants, and Elastomers), Others), By End-User (Building and Construction, Automotive, Food and Beverages, Personal Care, Healthcare), And By Geography - Forecasts From 2025 To 2030

Polyols Market Size:

The Polyols Market is expected to grow from US$33.126 billion in 2025 to US$44.873 billion in 2030, at a CAGR of 6.26%.

Polyols are sugar alcohols because of their chemical structure resemblance with sugar and alcohol. They are increasingly used in a wide variety of applications from food additive to technical applications such as emulsifiers, coatings, adhesives, sealants, thickeners and etc. The market is expected to grow due to the increasing awareness among people regarding the benefits of using polyols as sweeteners. The growing need for polyurethane foams in a number of industries such as construction and automotive is driving the polyols market growth. The market is expected to grow at a good rate over the forecast period owing to the burgeoning demand for bio polyols in industries due to a propensity towards using renewable resources. However, the prices of raw material are volatile and pose as a threat to the market growth.

The market is segmented by type, application, end user, and geography. Basis of type, the polyether segment is is expected to hold a significant share in the market due to its wide adoption in the automotive and construction industries. Geographically, Asia Pacific is projected to be a substantial shareholder due to the growing automotive industry and construction activities in countries such as India and China.

Polyols Market Drivers:
