1. PRICE AND PRODUCTION TRENDS AND BUSINESS Forecast Report Associative polyurethane thickeners Production and Price Trend 01

2. Associative polyurethane thickeners Production and Price Overview Historical Growth Rates and Past Performance By mid-2025, global associative polyurethane thickeners production stood at 101,000 metric tons, supported by stable demand in industrial and decorative coatings. Between 2021 and 2024, associative polyurethane thickeners production grew by an average of 4.5% annually, driven by rising exports and improved synthesis efficiency. Asia-Pacific remained the largest hub for associative polyurethane thickeners production, followed by North America. The associative polyurethane thickeners price remained steady at $2,430 per metric ton in 2025, slightly lower than the previous year's peak due to reduced shipping costs. Despite minor input cost fluctuations, the associative polyurethane thickeners price held within a narrow range. The market saw minimal disruption in raw material supply, allowing consistent production cycles. Associative polyurethane thickeners production capacity expanded in India and Malaysia, helping stabilize the global associative polyurethane thickeners price. The associative polyurethane thickeners price, which had spiked during the pandemic recovery, now shows strong signs of normalization. 02 Request a sample at - https://datavagyanik.com/reports/global-nonionic-synthetic-associative-thickeners-market-size-production-sales-average-product- price-market-share-import-vs-export-united-states-europe-apac-latin-america-middle-east/

3. Key Factors Impacting Associative polyurethane thickeners Prices in 2025 The associative polyurethane thickeners price in 2025 was primarily shaped by three main factors: raw material cost, production consistency, and end-user demand shifts. Raw material prices, especially polyols and isocyanates, remained stable during Q1 and Q2 of 2025. This stability was crucial in preventing any major surge in the associative polyurethane thickeners price. Production facilities in Asia and Europe reported steady output, with minimal disruptions, which ensured the associative polyurethane thickeners price did not face upward pressure due to supply shortages. Additionally, global demand remained firm, especially from the paints and adhesives industries. The growing trend toward water-based and low-VOC coatings in countries like China and the U.S. also sustained the associative polyurethane thickeners price at a favorable level. Exchange rates between the dollar and euro further contributed to minor fluctuations, although these were not large enough to cause significant changes in the associative polyurethane thickeners price. The overall market outlook remains stable, with associative polyurethane thickeners price trends showing limited volatility due to the convergence of strong demand and optimized supply chain operations. 03

4. MARKET SEGMENTATION Segmentation by Geography Associative polyurethane thickeners are used in a wide range of applications, and the market is segmented accordingly by usage, industry vertical, and geographic presence. Key application areas include paints and coatings, adhesives, printing inks, personal care formulations, and textile processing. The coatings segment holds the dominant share, particularly water-based paints where rheology control is essential. In terms of end-use sectors, construction remains the largest consumer due to its heavy reliance on paints and adhesives. The manufacturing sector, especially electronics and packaging, is also a fast-growing segment. Personal care is a niche but emerging sector where associative polyurethane thickeners are used in lotions and creams for texture modification. Regionally, the Asia-Pacific region leads the market both in volume and production capacity, supported by low-cost raw materials and robust infrastructure. Europe, with its strong regulatory framework favoring eco-friendly products, has also maintained significant demand. North America is seeing growth in niche segments like sustainable coatings and green adhesives. Emerging trends are influencing the segmentation further. For example, demand for zero-VOC coatings is reshaping product development, while consumer preference for environmentally conscious products is driving innovation in the personal care segment. Manufacturers are increasingly focusing on specialty formulations with tailored rheological properties, allowing for product differentiation. 04
