Polyurethane foams foams are widely used in producing mattresses, sofas, chairs, and other upholstered furniture due to their exceptional comfort and durability. Polyurethane foam offers superior cushioning properties, providing support and resilience for extended periods and enhancing furniture products’ overall comfort and longevity.

Additionally, according to the European Commission, the Italian government is considering extending the measure until 2023. EU funding for energy-efficient housing investment and social housing promotion are EUR 18.5 billion and EUR 2.8 billion, respectively. Additionally, households have steadily grown since 2010, reaching 26.1 million in 2020 (+5.7%). Therefore, the expansion of the global construction industry is driving the market’s growth.

However, Polyurethane production relies heavily on petrochemical-based raw materials such as polyols and isocyanates. Fluctuations in crude oil prices, which serve as the primary feedstock for petrochemicals, directly impact the cost of raw materials for its manufacturers. Any disruptions in the global oil supply, geopolitical tensions, or changes in oil production quotas by major oil-producing nations can lead to rapid and unpredictable changes in raw material prices. Thus, volatility in raw material prices is hampering the market’s growth.
