聚氨酯分散：市场介绍
Polyurethane dispersion or PUD is an aqueous and anionic dispersion having high molecular weight and can be derived from either aromatic or aliphatic isocyanate that can be produced with or without emulsifiers. It possesses excellent properties such as extreme temperature durability, superior tensile strength, high abrasion resistance, and high elasticity, which can be used in leather and wood finishes, PVC and concrete floor coverings, and textile coatings. This material is widely used in the coatings as film formers or binders, and also for developing other technical products. Generally, polyurethane dispersion can be synthesized by reacting any polyester, polyether or polycarbonate diol is reacted with a hydrophilising diol and a diisocyanate. On the basis of the ratio between the diols and the diisocyanate, the polyurethane derived can either be isocyanate (NCO) or hydroxyl functional. Moreover, demand in this market is growing year by year due to robust growth in numerous end-use industries. The overall polyurethane dispersion market projects significant gains in the demand for the coatings as well as leather finishing industry.然而，原油价格的波动导致了用于制造聚氨酯分散的原材料价格高，这预计将妨碍市场的增长。德国，U.K，加拿大和美国等建立市场的成熟度越来越多，旨在为亚太地区转移生产设施而提供平均增长。
不断增长对水基聚氨酯分散体的需求
水基聚氨酯分散体是一种分散体，其中氨基甲酸酯聚合物颗粒分散在水中。此外，由于诸如清洁空气法等的环境立法，它被认为是聚氨酯涂料行业中的快速生长片段，也是由于技术进步，这使得它们是有效的基于溶剂的产品。它们具有广泛的优异性能，例如冲击强度，耐磨性和低温柔韧性，这是它们在许多应用中连续扩展使用的驱动力。它们没有出现任何游离异氰酸酯残留物并含有高抗粘连性，长期柔韧性，紫外线和耐候性，以及高耐磨性。随着涂料材料的所有理想特性，水基PUD被认为是聚氨酯涂料工业的快速生长的段。此外，它们应用于柔性薄膜和纤维素基材，其用于制造工业层压板。随着他们在最终使用中的日益增长的使用申请估计推动市场增长。此外，杂交涂层包括具有各种类型的缩聚聚合物（环氧树脂，聚酯，醇酸和聚氨酯）的聚丙烯酸酯聚合物分散体的共混物预测，在下一代水性涂层中起着突出的作用。然而，可能强调的是，杂交水基涂层的成功取决于这些涂层的生产成本以及最终使用行业的采用率的频率。
The Asia太平洋最终使用行业现行情景及其对聚氨酯分散市场的影响
亚太地区的增长势头越来越大to the strong presence of various end-use industries such as automotive, building & construction, furniture, textile, and leather among others. In 2016, China emerged as the global leader in the automotive production and manufactured around 28 million vehicles with an excellent growth rate of 14.5%. Increasing demand for polyurethane based coating in the automotive sector is predicted to propel the global polyurethane dispersion market. Moreover, favorable government policies in developing countries such as India where government allocates 100% FDI in the automotive sector is expected to drive the demand for PUD. Furthermore, China and India together accounted for the largest leather goods export market and is estimated to retain their dominance over the forecast period, which is likely to fuel the polyurethane dispersion market growth. Many developing countries of Asia Pacific attracted foreign direct investment, which is estimated to drive the domestic textile industry which is likely to propel the growth of the market. Rising branding on E-commerce portals coupled with ease of availability of products is expected to propel the sale of textile and leather products which in turn is estimated to fuel the polyurethane dispersion market.
竞争情景：从先进经济体的成员捕获超过一半的全球利润池
According to the analysis, PUD market comprises of numerous leading players, which holds a maximum share of the market and achieving significant revenue each year in this particular product segment. The prominent manufacturers that are operating in the market are the Lubrizol Corporation, Michelman, Inc., Mitsui Chemicals Inc., Perstorp Holding AB, Lamberti S.p.A., LANXESS AG, Alberdingk Boley GmbH, Hauthaway Corporation, Chase Corporation, VCM Polyurethanes PVT. Ltd., allnex, Covestro AG, DowDuPont, Inc., BASF SE, and 3M.These companies are increasingly pursuing merger & acquisition business strategies to capture new markets and add new business lines. Developing market companies proved as major players in this trend as they seek to expand globally. For example, in July 2013, Michelman, Inc. acquired Germany-based Ecronova Polymer GmbH, a manufacturer of pure acrylic emulsions, vinyl acetate copolymers, and polyurethane dispersions. This acquisition helped Michelman to gain a physical presence in Germany and increase their European footprint.
