Casuals is the largest footwear segment in the overall PU sole (footwear polyurethane) market.

The casuals segment is projected to be the largest footwear in the overall PU sole (footwear polyurethane) market. The large market size for this segment is attributed to consumer preference for casuals in the developing economies because casual footwear offers a wide range of performance for outdoor activities. Loafers, sneakers and flats are some of the types of casual footwear available in the market.

Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI), is the fastest-growing raw material for PU sole (footwear polyurethane).

Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) is a raw material for PU sole (footwear polyurethane). MDI is the most widely-used aromatic diisocyanate in footwear polyurethane, which primarily exists in three isomers, namely 2,2- MDI, 2,4-MDI, and 4,4-MDI. 4,4’-MDI isomer is used in shoe sole formulation. In order to make polyurethane for footwear, MDI is reacted with polyols in the presence of other additives. MDI-based polyurethanes have applications in compact outsoles and unit soles. The properties of methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI), such as high degree of stiffness and resilience is expected to drive the market for this segment.

The PU sole (footwear polyurethane) market size is estimated to be USD 4.2 billion in 2019 and projected to reach USD 5.9 billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 7.6%. Polyurethane is used in footwear soles to provide the perfect combination of ergonomics, microclimate, and comfort. The superior properties of polyurethane as shoe sole material, growth in footwear sales, and increasing production in the growing economies are expected to drive the PU sole (footwear polyurethane) market.

Polyurethane used as footwear soles is more durable than any other sole material. Polyurethane provides comfort, durability, good fit, and affordability, which are the properties expected in good footwear. Polyurethane soles have excellent mechanical properties and provide good resistance to abrasion. It also helps in keeping water out to some extent. The moldability and ease of processing also make it easy for designers to produce it on a large scale.
