Map depicting regional share of revenues for organized segment

in Indian PU Industry

Expectations for future

Per capita PU consumption in India – 440 gm vs world - 1800 gm.

Cumulative growth expected in next 3 years between 40% to 60%.

Mandatory building code will be a great opportunities for growth in

Insulation area.

Usages of PU Foam in automotive industry can be easily doubled.

Government reforms and increase in pay likely to be give a boost

consumption. Hope that oil & currency are temporary blips.

GST, mother of all reforms. This is also expected to improve

compliance and growth in organized sector.
