2026 India Polyurethane Market: Demand for Monobutyltin Oxide (MBTO) Continues to Rise
Release time:
2026-11-01
In 2026, India’s demand for polyurethane raw materials is projected to reach 925,000 tonnes, as the market supply chain undergoes a profound restructuring. Monobutyltin oxide (MBTO), as a key catalytic material, is playing a pivotal role in this round of market expansion, driven by the following core factors:
Demand Growth and Catalytic Advantages: The coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers (CASE), and thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU) segments are expanding rapidly, driving increased demand for the high‑efficiency catalyst MBTO. MBTO effectively enhances reaction system performance, aligning with downstream production‑efficiency needs.
Supply Structure: While the Indian market is expanding its domestic production capacity, it remains reliant on high-purity imports from the region, resulting in a supply landscape characterized by coexisting domestic production and import‑driven replenishment.
