Abstract
In 2022, a series of interrelated major events, including the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine and the resulting food and energy crisis, soaring inflation, tightening debt conditions, and climate emergencies, resulted in a severe blow to the global economy. The global economy has been seeing a slowdown in 2023 since the last year. The Asia-Pacific region is generally in a post-pandemic recovery phase, but the recovery is slow. For rigid blended polyols, downstream sectors, such as home appliances, cold chain, and construction, have shown weak demand growth. Facing increasingly fierce competition, these industries have seen a low gross profit margin, below 5%. Lecron Share has discontinued its investment in the construction of a 45 ktpa polyether polyol expansion and a 20 ktpa cyclopentane-based blended polyols project. Covestro has exited the home appliance business in the Asia-Pacific region and shifted its focus to polyurethane system applications in automobiles, wind blades, pultrusion and reefer containers. The rigid blended polyols market is gradually dominated by top suppliers such as Wanhua, BASF, and Hongbaoli. Small and medium-sized ones have suffered a sharp decline in sales due to shrinking demand and production suspension, leading some to exit the rigid polyols market. China Rigid Blended Polyols Market Report 2023, prepared by PUdaily, focuses on the Asia-Pacific market, providing in-depth analysis of the supply-demand pattern, price trends, costs and profits, potential growth, industry opportunities and potential threats, investment environment, and more. This report will assist users in targeting the ever-changing submarkets in the coming years, helping stakeholders make informed decisions and promote their development.
