    Driven by adoption of ultra violet (UV) curable polyurethane (PU) dispersion coatings and growing preference for water based formulations, the soft touch polyurethane coatings market is forecast to reach valuation of US$ 6430 million by the end of 2021.

    As per newly released data by Future Market Insights (FMI), global sales of overall soft touch polyurethane coatings market enjoyed year-on-year (YoY) growth of 3.50% in 2021 to total 313 kilotons. The sales are expected to grow 1.97X and reach 617 kilotons by the end of 2031, says Future Market Insights.

    Soft touch polyurethane coatings are all-rounder in terms of application as they are extensively used in coating automotive and aircraft interior components like arm rest, door trims and front control panels to protect them from constant wear and tear. Increasing adoption of ABS plastics in making automotive interiors will accelerate the demand for soft touch polyurethane coatings in upcoming years.

    They also play an integral role in improving overall look and design of consumer electronic devices like mobiles and laptops while simultaneously protecting them from scratches. The cover and body of consumer electronics are required to have organoleptic properties. Increased demand for high quality covers has led to an increase in demand for soft touch polyurethane coatings for its properties like resistance to yellowing, scratching, and abrasion.

    Soft touch polyurethane coatings are highly effective in protecting wooden items from decaying and pest infestation. 

    Stringent government regulations imposed to reduce the emission of volatile organic content (VOC) is prompting the market players to develop environment friendly coatings. In 2019, Environment Protection Agency New England has mandated manufacturing facilities to reduce its VOC emission by making process changes and installing air pollution control equipments. This is expected to bode well with the market growth in upcoming years.

    Many market players are switching from solvent based coating to producing water based coating as solvent based coatings has high VOC content.  Increasing research and development for sustainable water based coating production while eliminating side reactions will boost the market growth over the forecast period.
