North America Polyurethane Processing Machinery Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (Dosing Systems, Mixing Heads), By Pressure (High Pressure, Low Pressure), By End-use, By Country, And Segment Forecasts, 2023 - 2030

Report Overview

的North America polyurethane processing machinery market size was estimated at USD 550.9 million in 2022 and is expected to expand at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.4% from 2023 to 2030. The growing application of polyurethane in the medical field and related new developments are expected to facilitate the growth. The COVID-19 outbreak had a severe effect on the market globally. Construction, automotive, manufacturing, and other sectors remain closed for the majority of months in the year 2020 as a result of supply chain disruption and constraints. As a result, demand for the polyurethane processing unit decreased, impacting industry expansion.

存在明显的老年人口, advanced healthcare infrastructures, and high discretionary income of patients in the country act as drivers for the growth of the healthcare sector in the U.S. Some of the reasons driving the development of thepolyurethane processing machinery marketin the country include increasing demand for medical equipment and growing healthcare expenditure in the U.S.

A few major pharmaceutical companies, including Johnson & Johnson, 3M Health Care Business, Abbott Laboratories, and Pfizer Inc., have their presence in the U.S. Moreover, the rapid growth of the U.S. pharmaceutical industry is expected to augment the demand for medical devices in the country. Ongoing advancements in the field of surgeries in the country in the form of method standardization and technological progressions are anticipated to lead to the flourishing healthcare sector in the U.S.

This, in turn, contributes to the surged usage of polyurethane processing technology for developing medical components in the region. For instance, Hennecke Inc. set up its new North American headquarters in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, U.S., which has a research and development laboratory, a modern parts warehouse, and areas for machinery repair and mixed rebuilding services.

的U.S. polyurethane processing machinery market’s growth is anticipated to be driven by increasing polyurethane foam production operations for use in mattresses, carpets, andfurniture. For instance, the Returning American Manufacturing Potential Act, which was launched in August 2022, is anticipated to support domestic small and medium-sized manufacturing companies and accelerate the processing of polyurethane, increasing demand for machinery.

In addition, it is predicted that new residential and commercial construction will increase demand for polyurethane processing. A common insulating material for cavity walls, roofs, floors, and around pipes in structures is polyurethane. Demand for new building construction and ancient building repair is being driven by population growth and urbanization. For instance, the growing need for developing green buildings also plays a significant role in fostering low-carbon economic growth and guaranteeing a clean energy transition as more firms and governments try to reach carbon neutrality by 2050. Therefore, the growing importance of green buildings is expected to fuel the demand.

Product Insights

的mixing heads product segment accounted for more than 30.0% of the revenue share in 2022. Mixing heads are responsible for the mixing of the chemicals supplied by the previous system and later distribute the mixture or blend through various methods such as spraying and closed or open pouring. Various types of mixing heads used in polyurethane processing machinery include straight-style mix heads, L-Style mix heads, and spray-style mix heads

的dosing systems product segment accounted for 20.3% of the revenue share in 2022. Dosing systems are the equipment used for the injection and spraying of PU elastomers and foams in closed and open molds. These systems are also used as protective coatings to reinforce, insulate, seal, and protect the surface. Dosing parts are required for any chemical reaction and are designed to match the process parameters and properties of the chemicals.

武器装备的发泡pment segment is likely to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% over the forecast period. Polyurethane foaming equipment is used to foam integral skin, rebound elastic material, and hard materials such as panels, shoe soles, rotationally molded products, hollow structures, and transfer pumps. PU foaming equipment is majorly used for manufacturing molded components, non-continuous rigid foam, self-skinning foam, and cold-curing foam. The applications of different types of foams include decoration, furniture, refrigerators, insulation materials, and various components of automobiles.

Metering units can be either low or high-pressure. Regardless of classification, the units are required to maintain and deliver a high level of precision, often within ±1%. Low-pressure machines can handle as many individual components as needed to meet formulation requirements, whereas high-pressure devices are normally limited to two or three components. For applications such as pour-in-place gaskets, output capabilities range from a few ounces or milliliters per second to 1000 lb/min or more

Pressure Insights

的high-pressure segment accounted for more than 67.5% of the revenue share in 2022. High-pressure polyurethane processing machinery includes precision metering pumps and high-pressure mix heads used for producing PU flexible foams, rigid foams, and PU skin foams. High-pressure machines provide high-quality foam with uniform cell structure and superior insulation performance. The high-polyurethane processing machinery market is projected to grow significantly over the forecast period as the product offers wide mixing ratios, stable laminar flow, short cycle times, short lead time, accurate injection time, easy maintenance, and excellent control options.

的low-pressure segment is likely to grow at a CAGR of 3.9% during the forecast period. Several applications that require higher viscosities, smaller quantities, or different levels of viscosity among the various chemicals used in a mixture are supported by low-pressure PU processing machines. Many industries use low-pressure PU processing equipment, especially those that need polyurethane coatings, sealants, elastomers, and adhesives. For instance, in the automobile sector, these devices are used to produce gloss and guarantee color retention in vehicle coatings, protecting the vehicle from corrosion and scratches.

End-use Insights

的other end-use segment which includes insulation equipment, turntable systems, overhead track systems, and floor track systems dominated the market in 2022 with a share of 31.5%. PU insulation equipment is used in domestic and professional refrigeration such as in the production of the thermos, ice machines, and vending machines, as well as refrigerated cells, cabinets, and doors

的stringent regulations about green buildings in the U.S. are expected to augment the demand for polyurethane as an insulation material. The ability of the material to reduce heat loss in buildings during cold weather and keep buildings cool in hot temperatures aids its penetration as an insulating material in cavity walls, roofs, pipes & boilers, and floors.

的automotive end-use segment is likely to grow at a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period. Polyurethane is used in the automotive industry owing to its ability to provide protection and comfort.Polyurethane foamsare used in various interior components such as headrests, armrests, and seats owing to their cushioning property, which aids in reducing the stress and fatigue associated with driving. Furthermore, polyurethane is used for providing insulation against the noise and heat of the engine.
