According to Future Market Insights, the Soft Touch Polyurethane Coatings Market size is expected to reach US$ 7,361.85 million by 2023 and US$ 17,429 million by 2033, growing at a 9% CAGR. Polyurethane coatings are used extensively in coating interior components in automobiles and aircraft such as armrests, front control panels, door trims, and door surrounds to protect them from constant wear and tear. In the upcoming years, soft-touch polyurethane coatings will become increasingly popular as ABS plastics are used to make automotive interiors.
Mobile phones and laptops also benefit from their scratch resistance and improved appearance. Due to characteristics such as aging resistance, scratch resistance, and abrasion resistance, soft-touch polyurethane coatings are becoming more popular with high-quality covers. A combination of increased electronics production in various countries and strict regulations targeting VOC emissions has pushed up emissions. Luxury and rich interiors are becoming increasingly popular among car enthusiasts which will further create a market for soft touch polyurethane coating in the market.
SAMR (State Administration for Market Regulation) and the Standardization Administration of the People’s Republic of China have developed new standards to limit the use of VOCs and a wide range of chemicals in adhesive manufacturing. ICEA estimated that there will be 829 million smartphone users in India by 2022. Hence, smartphones would be better protected, resulting in increased demand for cases and covers, thereby driving demand for soft touch polyurethane coatings.
