The Center for the Polyurethanes Industry (CPI) today announced the results of a two-year survey on the polyurethanes industry in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The 2023 End-Use Market Survey on the Polyurethanes Industry in the United States, Canada and Mexico shows that overall polyurethane production totaled 9.1 billion pounds in 2023. 

While production faced some headwinds during this time, areas of growth cited in the survey include use of spray foam in air barrier and continuous insulation applications; PU concrete floor coatings to help improve the durability and water repellency of concrete surfaces; and polyurethane molded composites in applications such as decks and utility poles.
