As one of the six major synthetic materials, polyurethane has the most variety and the most widely used. In recent years, it has developed rapidly, and gradually replaced other synthetic materials in different fields. With the continuous improvement of the domestic production technology, the level of R & D, polyurethane products to soft foam, rigid foam, spandex, elastomer, slurry, the sole solution, coating, adhesive etc. various forms applied in transportation, furniture, home appliances, construction, apparel, aerospace, medical, health, sports and other fields more and more widely.

    By 2015, the sharp fall in crude oil, the slowdown in domestic economic development, excess supply capacity, terminal demand poor factors under the influence, the market price of polyurethane raw materials TDI, MDI, AA, BDO and PTMEG showed a downward trend, and basically have been dropped to historic lows, the direct influence of polyurethane products market trend declines in the cost of raw materials, spandex, elastic body, slurry, the sole solution of market price has continued to decline. From the production point of view, the total output of 2015 domestic polyurethane industry is about 960 tons, year-on-year growth rate of about 2%, one of the fastest growing products of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU), with the continuous expansion of domestic Wanhua, Huafeng and other production enterprises, the market supply increased significantly, while the lower shoe industry performance the poor, the decline in demand, but the TPU film market is developing rapidly, the overall consumption increased by about 5%; about soft foam production growth of 3%; by the end of reduced demand affected production decline 5.76% hard foam; downstream demand spandex production increased by 4.36%; the overall trend of the market size is relatively low, the downstream synthetic leather industry due to enhance environmental protection requirements part of enterprise production demand led to the pulp manufacturers started low, the overall yield decreased by 2.24%; the sole stock market is relatively stable, but also by the footwear industry, industry transfer terminal Upgrade impact, the second half of the market downturn, the overall production growth of 2%; polyurethane coatings, adhesives market also has a slight increase.
