The China Polyols for Polyurethanes market continues its expansion trajectory, with its valuation reaching USD 8.65 billion in 2024. According to comprehensive industry analysis, the market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.1%, reaching approximately USD 12.37 billion by 2030. This substantial growth is primarily fueled by China’s dominant position in global polyurethane production and increasing applications across construction, automotive, and consumer goods sectors.
Polyols for polyurethanes serve as critical chemical building blocks, reacting with isocyanates to create versatile PU materials with applications ranging from insulation foams to automotive seating. The market’s growth reflects China’s strategic focus on advanced materials manufacturing and sustainability initiatives, particularly in green building projects and energy-efficient applications.

Market Overview & Regional Dominance
China represents the global epicenter for polyols production, accounting for over 40% of worldwide capacity. The country’s manufacturing ecosystem benefits from integrated supply chains, with major production clusters in Shandong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang provinces. Coastal regions particularly dominate due to access to imported raw materials and export facilities.
While domestic consumption drives most demand, China’s polyols exports continue growing at 8-10% annually, serving Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern markets. The government’s “Dual Circulation” strategy bolsters both domestic consumption and international trade in chemical intermediates like polyols.
Key Market Drivers and Emerging Opportunities
The market’s expansion stems from several converging factors. Construction remains the largest end-use sector, with rigid polyurethane foams increasingly used in energy-efficient buildings under China’s green development policies. The automotive industry’s recovery has spurred demand for flexible foams in seating and interior components, particularly as EV production scales rapidly.
Notable opportunities exist in bio-based polyols, where Chinese producers are investing heavily to meet sustainability targets. The furniture sector’s shift toward low-VOC materials presents another growth avenue, while advanced applications in footwear, medical devices, and specialty coatings show promising potential.
Industry Challenges and Restraints
Despite strong growth fundamentals, the market faces several headwinds. Volatile propylene oxide prices continue squeezing manufacturer margins, while environmental regulations on blowing agents add compliance costs. Trade tensions have led to anti-dumping measures in some export markets, though diversification strategies are mitigating these risks.
Overcapacity remains an industry concern in conventional polyols segments, though this is driving innovation toward differentiated, high-value products. The transition toward circular economy models also presents both challenges and opportunities for established producers.
