Global Thermoplastic Polyurethane Market 2017-2021 – Rise in Demand from Automotive Industry is Driving the Market – ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The "Global
Thermoplastic Polyurethane Market 2017-2021" report has been
added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The report has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with
inputs from industry experts. The report covers the market landscape and
its growth prospects over the coming years. The report also includes a
discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.

The global thermoplastic polyurethane market is expected to grow at a
CAGR of 6.24% during the period 2017-2021.

One trend in the market is the upcoming developments in bio-based
products. The interest in bio-based TPUs is rising, owing to their
advantageous properties such as biodegradability, low density,
recyclability, and cost-effectiveness. These advantages place bio-based
TPUs at a commercially competitive position with synthetic TPUs. The
industry has observed an opportunity to potentially replace synthetic
TPUs with bio-based ones in several applications such as household
objects, packaging, automobiles, and furniture.

One driver in the market is the rise in demand from automotive industry.
Despite the overall slowing down of the demand for automotive, the
global automotive industry is now in a better shape than it was five
years ago, especially in the US where profits and sales have recovered
after the recent economic crisis. In China, the strong growth is
consistent. By 2021, the global profits for the automotive OEMs are
expected to rise by almost 50%. The increase in profits is expected to
come mainly from the growth in the emerging markets like India, China,
and Thailand and to a lesser extent from developed markets like the US,
Germany, Italy, and Japan.
