      (EMAILWIRE.COM, January 27, 2022 ) Bio Polyols market size is forecast to reach US$7.8 billion by 2026, after growing at a CAGR of 10.2% during 2021-2026. The increasing awareness about the environment and the rising prices of petroleum are the reasons for soaring demand of bio polyols. Bio polyols, also known as natural oil polyols, are polyols derived from vegetable oils. A polyol is an organic compound containing multiple hydroxyl groups. Bio polyols are extracted from natural oils like castor oil, soybean oil, canola oil, coconut oil and others. Out of these oils only castor oil is the only commercially available bio polyol that is produced directly from a plant source while the others require chemical modifications. The two types of bio polyols are polyether polyols and polyester polyols. The primary use of polyols is in the production of polyurethanes. Traditional polyols are petroleum based but growing environmental concerns and sustainability have led to the development of natural oil polyols from renewable resources. The eco-friendly and sustainable nature of bio polyols, supply of bio-based feedstock and fluctuations of crude oil prices are driving the global bio polyols market.

      COVID-19 Impact

      Owing to the pandemic, the core industries such as automotive and construction industry are impacted. Lockdowns and social distancing have caused many manufacturing plants to shut down. The construction industry has been majorly hit due to labor shortages and the lockdown imposed by governments during COVID-19, which is aggravated by the resulting supply chain issues and financing pressures due to the non-adherence to the completion times. According to a report by European Construction Industry Federation (FIEC), the total investment in construction declined by 5.8% in 2020 and amounted to $13.48 trillion, which equals 10.7% of EU GDP, the decrease was particularly dramatic in Spain, France, Italy, Czech Republic and Poland. This in turn has impacted the bio polyols market in 2020.
