Methodology
Information provided in this volume has been obtained from existing in-house data and an extensive programme of interviews with leading product manufacturers, trade associations, raw materials producers and systems houses across EMEA. Published data and statistics have also been reviewed in order to produce as accurate figures as possible for the consumption of raw materials in the production of polyurethane products.
Forecasts for the production of PU products and consumption of raw materials have been calculated for the year 2028, based upon industry and economic forecasts as well as upon other relevant commercial and technical issues likely to affect individual market sectors and products. Detailed market analyses of all product sectors are presented in the relevant volumes.
Slight discrepancies in the totals may occur, due to rounding.
