In 2018, the global market for thermoplastic polyurethane film was worth USD 361.8million. It is expected to grow at 6.1% CAGR between 2019 and 2025. Product demand is expected to rise due to its waterproofness, high resilience and cool temperature resistance. The key driver of the market is expected to be increased use of the product for automotive applications. Thermoplastic polyurethane film is a versatile elastomer that can be used for many applications. They are also ideal for industrial applications due to their chemical, puncture and tear resistance.
Due to stability in the automotive industry, the global demand for TPU film has been on the rise over the past few years. The exterior uses of TPU films include paint protection, scratch protection, anti-stone chipsping, rear bumper protection and cowl protection. This product is made from TPU pellets and manufactured with polyether Polyurethanes or polyester polyurethanes.
Methylene Diphenyl Diisocyanate is used to make PU. End-use applications that require low temperature flexibility, hydraulic stability, fungal resistance, or low-temperature flexibility for polyether polyurethanes will be able to use them. Thermoplastic Polyurethanes offer a holistic approach to manufacturing auto parts. They cover all aspects of manufacturing, which is why they are preferred by automobile manufacturers over other materials.
High-performance films have allowed auto makers to reduce the vehicle's overall weight, which has resulted in higher fuel efficiency. The market is expected to grow due to the rapid expansion of the construction sector in emerging markets like Asia Pacific. The economic fundamentals of Asia are strong, despite the turmoil in many other regions. The region will be the fastest growing region in the future, with an estimated GDP growth of 7% through the end decade.
Automotive segment was responsible for 22.7% of the total revenue in 2018, and it is expected to grow at 6.1% CAGR between 2019-2025. Segment growth is being driven by an increase in vehicle production. It can be used in anti-vibration panels, door panels and acoustic panels. This product can replace metal and plastic parts in aircraft, thus ensuring steady growth for the aerospace sector. The segment will also be driven by technological advances and rising consumer disposable income.
TPU films can be used to make waterproof gloves, costumes, socks, shoes, and hats. Their demand is expected to rise in the leisure and sport segment. Product demand is expected to rise due to increased demand for sportswear. The segment is expected to grow due to government support for sports and fitness in the future. These films can be combined with textiles to make industrial fabric for the construction industry. They are extremely extensible and tear-resistant.
Due to increasing populations, the growing construction sector in developing countries like India and China is expected to increase the demand for building & construction applications. Their demand for medical applications is increasing rapidly due to the rapid expansion of the medical sector. Market growth is expected to be fueled by the development of diagnostics and surgical applications that allow for patient data management, laboratory testing, and patient care. This segment is also supported by an increasing government spending on healthcare and a growing population.
Asia Pacific will be the fastest-growing region market. The region's growth will be driven by government policies that favor different industries and the expansion of the construction, medical, and automotive sectors. The market growth of TPU Films is also expected to be driven by an increase in disposable income.
The market will also benefit from government support to increase FDI flow and rising spending capacity in many developing countries. In addition, infrastructure development will increase demand from the following industries: railway, building & Construction, energy, and aerospace.
In 2018, North America accounted for 32.24% of the total revenue. This region is home to large and small-scale aerospace and component companies. The overall market growth is expected to be supported by the increased production of agriculture in countries like China, U.S.A, India, Brazil and Mexico. The global market will also benefit from emerging applications such as animal identification tags in the future.
Globally, the market is extremely competitive. Companies are now focusing on developing bio-based films to provide sustainable solutions. Huntsman Corporation is one of the major players in this market. Bayer Material Science and 3M Company are also among the top companies. Permali Gloucester Ltd., Avery Dennison (BASF SE), Nippon Polyurethane and Lubrizol are all other key players.
With the presence of many small- and medium-sized manufacturers, the market is fragmented. The strong presence of local suppliers and manufacturers, especially in China, is one of the main reasons for market fragmentation. To increase market share, companies are focusing on customizing products and strategic partnerships.
