Global HDI Biuret Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global HDI Biuret market size is predicted to grow from US$ 746 million in 2025 to US$ 1,169 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2026 to 2032.

In 2025, global HDI biuret production reached approximately 133 k tons, with an average global market price of around US$5,740 per ton. HDI biuret is a polyisocyanate based on the widely used aliphatic hexamethylene-1,6-diisocyanate (HDI). These are primarily used for high performance coatings applications to improve weatherability and UV/chemical resistance.

The global market for HDI Biuret is characterized by high supply concentration and technological intensity, with core capacities primarily held by a few large-scale fine chemical manufacturers such as Covestro, Wanhua Chemical, and BASF. Companies are optimizing their presence in key regions like Asia-Pacific and North America through strategic acquisitions—such as Covestro's integration of former Vencorex sites—and targeted capacity expansions. Currently, as a critical curing agent for high-performance polyurethane coatings, HDI Biuret is widely utilized in aerospace, automotive refinish, and industrial anti-corrosion sectors that demand extreme weatherability and chemical resistance. Regarding trends, corporate annual reports increasingly emphasize the transition toward a circular economy, with R&D focusing on low-viscosity, low-monomer-residual, and bio-based alternatives to minimize environmental footprints. Market opportunities are driven by rapid infrastructure development in emerging economies and the rising demand for high-performance coatings in the electric vehicle sector. However, the industry faces barriers such as volatile raw material prices and tightening environmental regulations. Stricter occupational exposure limits for isocyanates set by agencies like OSHA and EPA, alongside rigorous oversight of phosgenation processes, have significantly increased compliance costs and technical barriers to entry. Overall, the market is shifting from volume-driven growth toward sustainability and high-value specialization.
