Global Aliphatic Isocyanates Market Report (2026–2036)
Market Description
The global Aliphatic Isocyanates market is projected to grow steadily between 2026 and 2036, driven by its extensive applications in coatings, adhesives & sealants, and elastomers. Aliphatic isocyanates, including HDI (Hexamethylene Diisocyanate), IPDI (Isophorone Diisocyanate), and H12MDI (Dicyclohexylmethane Diisocyanate), are widely used in polyurethane formulations due to their superior weather resistance, non-yellowing properties, and durability. These characteristics make them indispensable in automotive coatings, construction materials, and industrial applications.
Market growth is influenced by government policies promoting sustainable materials, technological advancements in polyurethane chemistry, and rising demand for high-performance coatings. While COVID-19 initially disrupted supply chains and slowed industrial activity, recovery in automotive, construction, and industrial sectors has accelerated demand post-2021.
