Dublin, Dec. 20, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "North America Polyurethane Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis By Product and Application" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

According to the study, the market is expected to reach US$ 22,190.06 million by 2028 from US$ 13,150.40 million in 2021. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.8% from 2021 to 2028.

Rising demand for durable and lightweight materials from several End-use industries is a major factor driving the growth of the North America polyurethane market. However, the imposition of strict regulations on raw material used in polyurethane manufacturing and volatility of raw material prices hinder the growth of North America polyurethane market.

In case of COVID-19, in North America, especially the US, witnessed an unprecedented rise in number of coronavirus cases, which led to the discontinuation of polyurethane manufacturing activities. Downfall of other chemical and materials manufacturing sectors has negatively impacted the demand for polyurethane during the early months of 2020.

Moreover, decline in the overall resin and polymer manufacturing activities has led to discontinuation of polyurethane manufacturing projects, thereby reducing the demand for polyurethane. A similar trend was witnessed in other North America countries, i.e. Mexico, Canada, Panama and Costa Rica. However, the countries are likely to overcome thus drop in demand with the economic activities regaining their pace, especially in the beginning of the 2021.
