Strong Demand for PU Boards in Israel

In recent years, Israel's construction industry has maintained robust growth. Whether in residential development, commercial building construction, or functional projects like industrial cold storage, these projects are driving demand for high-performance building materials. Polyurethane (PU) boards, with their excellent thermal insulation and weather resistance, have become a sought-after material in the market.

According to Coherent Market Insights, the global PU insulation board market is projected to reach approximately US$39.25 billion in 2025, with the construction sector accounting for nearly 39%. As a relatively economically developed country in the Middle East, Israel, driven by its energy-saving building policies, has a strong demand for imported high-quality PU boards, in line with global trends.

In fact, PU foam insulation boards have been used in Israel for over 30 years, and many local engineering firms and architects consider them one of the best insulation materials. They are widely used not only in residential buildings but also in industrial refrigeration, cold storage, and food processing plants. Especially during Israel's hot summers, improving building insulation performance directly impacts energy consumption and user experience.

Policy Drivers Behind Market Demand

In recent years, the Israeli government has continuously strengthened building energy-saving regulations, encouraging the use of high-efficiency insulation materials to reduce air conditioning and heating energy consumption. With the growing popularity of green building concepts, market demand for PU panels has further increased. For Chinese building material exporters, this represents not only a growing market but also a promising opportunity with high technical barriers and quality standards.

However, delivering PU panels to Israel stably and efficiently is no easy task. Besides securing shipping and air freight space, Israel also faces stringent customs clearance standards and certification processes. For example, SII (Standards Institute of Israel) certification is a mandatory requirement for many imported building materials. Failure to adequately prepare can easily lead to cargo being stranded at ports, increasing costs and time losses.

They accept general cargo, sensitive goods, and pure electric products, with a minimum weight of 100 grams and a delivery time of 6–8 business days, making them ideal for cross-border sellers conducting small trial orders or last-minute shipments.

U-Speed also operates its own overseas warehouse in Israel, providing not only one-stop services for the initial haul, but also handling returns, label changes, and resale services. The warehouse system utilizes a proprietary WMS management system, synchronizing order data in real time. Operated by a Chinese team and following strict SOP procedures, communication is seamless. For AliExpress merchants, as a platform ecosystem warehouse partner, U-Speed offers additional advantages such as "X-Day Delivery" with no review required and traffic support.

One-Stop Process Reduces Export Risk

U-Speed offers Chinese PU board exporters a comprehensive service chain, from domestic factories to Israeli customers:

Domestic cargo collection → International air/sea freight → Local customs clearance (including SII certification) → Overseas warehouse warehousing or direct delivery → Nationwide DDU delivery.

Fully transparent and traceable, this process eliminates the complex coordination of multiple parties and reduces delays and extra costs caused by miscommunication.

Market Opportunity + Stable Logistics = Success

Demand for PU boards, a building material, is steadily increasing in Israel, and green building and energy-saving regulations will continue to drive this trend. For Chinese exporters, choosing a logistics partner with market familiarity, a local team, and stable shipping capacity is key to seizing market opportunities.

U-Speed has helped numerous exporters successfully enter the Israeli market through its in-house customs clearance, flexible transportation options, overseas warehouse support, and platform resources. The next step is to seize the opportunity for those who act first.
