| Résumé : |
In the midterm, a worldwide increase in PU consumption of 4 to 5 % per year is to be expected. Growth drivers are the sound economic performance in the major industrialized nations so far, and in particular the increasing prosperity in China and emerging markets. In future, the PU business will be strongly influenced by digitalization and the development of closed material life cycles. |
