India Cast Polyurethane Elastomers Market - Forecast(2024 - 2030)
India Cast Polyurethane Elastomers Market Overview
The India Cast Polyurethane Elastomers
Market size is forecast to reach US$105.2 million by 2027, after growing at a CAGR of 6.5% during 2022-2027. The cast polyurethane elastomer is a polymer
chemical compound in liquid form created between an isocyanate such as (methylene diphenyl diisocyanate) MDI, or (toluene diisocyanate) TDI and a polymeric polyol. This is widely
used in the production of conveyor scrapers, adhesives &
sealants and polyesters. These products are widely used in automotive, construction and other
sectors as they give resistance to abrasion and high tensile and tear strength.
The rise in construction activity will eventually boost the demand for cast polyurethane elastomer-based
products. For instance, infrastructure activities accounted for a 13% share of
the total FDI inflows of US$ 81.72 billion in 2021. Therefore, the rise in
construction activities will flourish the demand for cast polyurethane
elastomer industry growth. However, the global economic downturn caused by the COVID-19
pandemic resulted in a huge drop in demand for automobiles, electrical and
electronic consumer goods and others, all across the world, which had a
significant impact on the growth of India's cast polyurethane elastomers
market.

India Cast Polyurethane Elastomers Market Challenges
The Adverse Effects of Cast Polyurethane Elastomers on the Environment and Human Health:
The cast polyurethane elastomers have caused environmental and health hazards as isocyanates such as methylene diphenyl diisocyanate or toluene diisocyanate and polymeric polyol are highly reactive chemicals and have a low molecular weight and are used in the manufacturing of various products. Isocyanates are highly reactive and toxic and are widely used as raw materials for the production of cast polyurethane elastomers. Excessive exposure to isocyanates is hazardous to the environment and human health as it can cause skin, eye, nose, throat and lung irritation. Thus, all such factors will eventually hamper the cast polyurethane elastomers market.
