Waterborne Polyurethane Market to Grow with a CAGR of 4.32% through 2030

Surge in research and development activities is expected to drive the Global Waterborne Polyurethane Market growth in the forecast period, 2026-2030.

According to TechSci Research report, “Waterborne Polyurethane Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the Global Waterborne Polyurethane Market stood at USD 1.85 Billion in 2024 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 4.32% through 2030. The initiatives taken by government based on waterborne polyurethane has led to favorable market conditions for the Global Waterborne Polyurethane Market. Several factors contribute to the growth of various waterborne polyurethane products

A key government initiative driving growth in the waterborne polyurethane (WPU) market is the enforcement of stringent regulations on volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions in coatings. These regulatory measures are intended to mitigate the environmental and health impacts associated with traditional solvent-based coatings, which release high levels of VOCs into the atmosphere. In contrast, WPUs offer significantly lower VOC emissions, positioning them as a more environmentally responsible alternative. This regulatory alignment has led to a marked increase in WPU adoption, as industries seek to meet compliance requirements while enhancing their sustainability performance.
