Propylene oxide is an organic, volatile, flammable, colourless liquid compound, similar to ether or benzene, which is soluble in ether and alcohol. It is extensively used as an intermediate for production numerous commercial materials such as polyether polyols, propylene glycol, and propylene glycol ethers. It is also used in manufacturing of rigid foams, injection moldings, adhesives, coatings, surfactants and others.

Amplified usage of polyurethanes in various end-use applications such as bedding, carpet underlay automotive insulation, thermal insulation in the construction industry, packaging, commercial refrigeration, moldings in door frames, columns, balusters, window headers, pediments and others. This is one of the key factor expected to boost growth of the global propylene oxide market. Rising demand for propylene oxide in production of sealants, adhesives, flexible foams, paints, and coatings is another factor expected to drive growth of the global propylene oxide market over forecast period.

However, health hazards caused due to prolonged exposure contact leading to skin lead is a major factor restraining growth of the global propylene oxide market. Volatility in raw material prices and emergence of low priced substitutes such as alkylene carbonate are other factors expected to hamper growth of the global propylene oxide market over forecast period.

Nonetheless, increased investments by major players in developing environmentally friendly techniques to manufacture propylene oxide is expected to be a potential opportunity for the growth of the global propylene oxide market.

The global propylene oxide market report has been segmented on the basis of application, process, end-use industry, and region. On the basis of region, global propylene oxide market is segmented in to North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, And Middle East & Africa.
