Market Overview
Isocyanates are chemical compounds containing the isocyanate group (-NCO). They react with alcohol (hydroxyl) groups to form polyurethane polymers, which are widely used in polyurethane foams, thermoplastic elastomers, spandex fibers, and polyurethane paints.
Key applications include polyurethane foam, paints & coatings, adhesives & sealants, and specialty uses.
The three major types of isocyanates are:
Consumption patterns show a shift toward China, which accounted for 38.84% of MDI sales in 2015, followed by Europe (28.88%), USA (18.86%), and Japan (3.83%). Over time, consumption has gradually transferred from Europe to China.
The global Isocyanates market is valued at USD 6,640 million in 2025 and projected to reach USD 7,020 million by 2036, growing at a modest CAGR of 0.7% during 2026–2036.
