Polypropylene oxide acts as the building blocks of polyurethane foams. The rapid growth of construction and automobile industries and consumption of polyurethane foams have increased significant, thereby fueling the growth of the polypropylene oxide market. Polyurethane foams are widely used as cushions in seats, armrests, & other parts of a vehicle and also applied in fabricating the interiors of a car. It is also used in furniture and lining the interior walls of a building due to its superior insulating properties. Polyurethane foams are applied to make beddings and carpets, and are gaining popularity due to their superior quality.
Furthermore, propylene glycol produced from polypropylene oxide is used as solvent in the pharmaceutical industry and humectants in alcohol-based hand sanitizer. The product also acts as an antifreeze agent and is used to produce theatrical smoke and fog to provide special effects in movies and plays. However, the fluctuating prices of the raw materials and the toxic nature of polypropylene oxide restrict the growth of the market. Moreover, with the continuous product development, the use of polypropylene oxide in pharmaceutical, theatrical business, and others is expected to drive the growth of the market.
The Asia-Pacific polypropylene oxide market holds the largest share of the global polypropylene oxide market due to its escalating demand in automobile and construction industries of the region. In North America, the market is expected to grow significantly with increase in demands for polyurethane foams to obtain better interiors for households and commercial places.
