Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) Market Size to Reach USD 5.9 Billion by 2034; Environmental Benefits Provided by Thermoplastic Polyurethane is Skyrocketing the Market Growth

Published Date: March 2025

Thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) are a type of plastic produced through polyaddition reactions of diisocyanates with diols. They are soft and pliable on heating and harden on cooling, allowing multiple reprocessing without loss of structural integrity. The thermoplastic polyurethane market is growing due to its use in many industries, its environmental benefits, and its beneficial properties. In addition to this, TPU is durable, flexible, and resistant to abrasion, chemicals, and other elements, further contributing in the market expansion.
