With the global manufacturing recovery and the upgrading of sub-sectors, downstream demand for polyurethane raw materials is showing a diversified adjustment trend, with steady increases in demand in areas such as cold chain insulation, new energy supporting industries, high-end adhesives, and outdoor soft materials.
Different regional markets exhibit differentiated demand characteristics: the European and American markets focus on environmentally friendly and highly stable raw materials, while the Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern markets focus on cost-effective general-purpose polyurethane raw materials. The proportion of orders for customized engineering-grade raw materials continues to rise.
Meanwhile, overseas buyers are gradually changing their procurement models, no longer solely purchasing basic raw materials, but preferring one-stop suppliers that can provide formulation guidance, technical support, and stable supply. The market advantages of trading service providers with both technical services and supply chain security capabilities are becoming increasingly prominent.
