イソシアネート市場の動向

さまざまな最終用途産業からの需要拡大

イソシアネートは、建築、自動車、コーティング、家具、エレクトロニクスなど様々な産業で幅広く使用されており、イソシアネート市場の成長に影響を与える重要な要因の一つとなっています。自動車生産台数の増加と軽量で耐久性のある素材への需要に牽引される自動車産業の成長が、イソシアネートの需要をさらに押し上げています。貿易経済によると、米国の自動車生産台数は2024年1月の1,058万台から2月には1,078万台に増加しました。新興国を中心とした建設活動の活発化が、イソシアネートを主原料とするポリウレタン系製品の需要を促進しており、市場の成長を後押ししています。建設協会によると、2023年第1四半期の米国の建設事業所数は919万を超えました。同産業は800万人の従業員を雇用し、毎年約2兆1,000億米ドル相当の建設物を作り出しており、これがイソシアネート市場統計を牽引すると期待されています。

技術の大幅な進歩と革新

技術の進歩と革新の高まりは、全世界の市場において主要な成長誘発要因として作用しています。イソシアネートベースの製品の特性と性能の向上を目指した研究開発(R&D)活動の活発化が、新しい用途と配合の導入につながっており、これが市場の成長を後押ししています。例えば、Bayer AGは2023年に2億2,000万ユーロを投資して、モンハイムに新しい研究開発(R&D)センターを建設し、持続可能な農業への取り組みを強化しています。これがイソシアネート市場の最近の動向をさらに後押ししています。また、Covestroは2024年3月、ベルギーのアントワープに、ポリカーボネートコポリマーを工業規模で生産できる初の工場を開設しました。同社の新しいプラットフォーム技術は、革新的な無溶剤メルトプロセスと新しいリアクターコンセプトの組み合わせに基づいています。これらが市場の成長をさらに促進すると予想されます。

バイオベースに対する需要の高まりイソシアネート

持続可能性と環境保全への関心の高まりも、植物油やバイオマスなど再生可能な原料由来のバイオベースのイソシアネートへのシフトを後押ししています。世界各国の政府が排出量を制限し、持続可能な実践を促進するために厳しい規制を実施するようになっていることが、バイオベースのイソシアネートの採用を後押ししています。従来のイソシアネートが環境に与える影響に対する消費者の意識の高まりが、より環境に優しい代替品への需要を促進しており、これが市場の成長を促進しています。例えば、BASFはメチレンジフェニルジイソシアネート(MDI)のポートフォリオを拡大し、温室効果ガスを排出しない初の芳香族イソシアネートであるLupranat ZERO(ゼロエミッション、再生可能資源由来)を発表しました。Lupranat ZEROは、Cradle-to-Gate製品でカーボンフットプリント(PCF)がゼロです。これは、製品に関連する温室効果ガス排出量と製品に含まれるバイオベースカーボンを合わせた、BASF工場から顧客に届けられるまでの過程で、CO2を排出しないことを意味します。これにより、世界中でイソシアネートの市場シェアがさらに拡大すると予想されます。

Global Isocyanates Market Trends:

Growing Demand from Various End-Use Industry

The extensive use of isocyanates in various industries, including construction automotive, coatings, furniture, and electronics represents one of the key factors influencing the growth of the isocyanates market across the globe. The growing automotive sector, driven by the rising vehicle production and demand for lightweight, durable materials, is further driving the demand for isocyanates. According to the trading economy, car production in the United States increased to 10.78 million units in February from 10.58 million units in January of 2024. The increasing construction activities, especially in emerging economies, are fueling the demand for polyurethane-based products, which use isocyanates as a key raw material, thus bolstering the market growth. According to the Construction Association, there were more than 9,19,000 construction establishments in the United States in the first quarter of 2023. The industry employs 8.0 million employees and creates nearly $2.1 trillion worth of structures each year which is expected to drive the isocyanates market statistics.

Significant Advancements and Innovations in Technologies

The rising technological advancements and innovations are acting as major growth-inducing factors in the market across the globe. The increasing research and development (R&D) activities directed at enhancing the properties and performance of isocyanate-based products are leading to the introduction of new applications and formulations which is boosting the market growth. For instance, in 2023, Bayer AG invested 220 million euros to build a new research and development (R&D) center at the Monheim site, which is strengthening its commitment to sustainable agriculture. This is further driving the isocyanates market recent developments. For instance, in March 2024, Covestro inaugurated its first plant that can produce polycarbonate copolymers on an industrial scale at its Antwerp, Belgium site. The company's new platform technology is based on an innovative, solvent-free melt process in combination with a new reactor concept. This is further expected to fuel the market growth.

Rising Demand for Bio-Based Isocyanates

The market is also driven by the increasing focus on sustainability and environmental conservation which is boosting a shift towards bio-based isocyanates derived from renewable feedstocks, such as vegetable oils and biomass. The increasing implementation of strict regulations by governments in various countries across the globe to limit emissions and promote sustainable practices is driving the adoption of bio-based Isocyanates. The rising consumer awareness regarding the environmental impact of conventional isocyanates is driving the demand for greener alternatives, which is facilitating the growth of the market. For instance, in 2022, BASF expanded the portfolio of methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) and introduced Lupranat ZERO (Zero Emission, Renewable Origin) the first greenhouse gas-neutral aromatic isocyanate. Lupranat ZERO has an accounting Cradle-to-Gate1 Product Carbon Footprint2 (PCF) of zero, which means that on its way until it leaves the BASF factory gate for the customer - all product-related greenhouse gas emissions and the biobased carbon bound in the product taken together - it does not carry a CO2 backpack. This is further boosting the isocyanates market share across the globe.

Global Isocyanates Market Segmentation:

Type Insights:

  • Methylene Diphenyl Diisocyanate (MDI)
  • Toluene Diphenyl Diisocyanate (TDI)
  • Aliphatic Isocyanates
  • Others
  • Methylene Diphenyl Diisocyanate (MDI) dominates the market
  • The rising demand for methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) in producing polyurethane (PU) foams and materials is driving the segment growth in the market. MDI is well known for its exceptional bonding properties and versatility, thereby allowing for different applications across industries like automotive, consumer goods, and construction. The increasing use of MDI-based polyurethane foams for insulation in the construction industry is contributing to sustainability and energy efficiency which is boosting the isocyanates market growth. MDI is also used in producing lightweight and durable parts in the automotive industry, thereby enhancing vehicle fuel efficiency. For instance, in 2024, Chinese petrochemical producer Wanhua Chemical announced it had restarted a 400,000 t/yr methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) unit at its Ningbo complex in east China's Zhejiang province.

Manufacturing Process Insights:

  • Phosgenation Process
