Sealants, commonly known as sealing agents in the construction industry, are used to block heat, sound, dust, and fluid through apertures at joints in building structures. They hold various properties and are particularly effective in the waterproofing processes to provide a barrier for moisture in the built structures, temperature & chemical stability, weather resistance, flexibility, and others. Sealants can also be used to provide acoustic and thermal insulation and fire barriers.
Construction Sealants Market Dynamics
The global Construction Sealants Market is primarily driven by heavy investments in the infrastructure in developing nations like China and India. These countries are the two most populated countries in the world and have been witnessing rapid urbanization. Construction in these countries is at an all-time high because the majority of the population moving to urban areas. This shift will require more residential and commercial building construction, therefore, fueling growth in the construction sealants market in the region. Moreover, high durability & strength, high flexibility, high-temperature resistance, and other advantages of construction sealants have also attracted attention for their usage in the construction industry.
In the Middle East and Africa, there are lots of big construction projects whether residential or commercial are being developed in the region. In 2018, the total value of the Saudi Arabian capital projects is estimated to be approximately $1 trillion. At the same time, the U.A.E. comes second with capital projects of ~$700 billion, while Egypt and Kuwait are the following two with ~$570 billion and ~$200 billion respectively. Therefore, fueling growth in the market.
However, the strict environmental regulations in various countries will hamper the growth of Construction Sealants.
Construction Sealants Market Segmentation and Shares
By Resins type, the global Construction Sealants Market is segmented into Silicone, Polyurethane, Polysulfide, and others. Silicone sealants have the dominant position in the Construction composite market due to their properties such as high strength, flexibility, excellent durability, UV and moisture resistance along with rising consumer awareness about environmental issues and shifting trends towards green construction materials and are expected to retain its dominance in the forecasted period. However, polyurethane sealants will also be expected to grow their share in the forecast period due to the strong application scope in flooring and joining for bridges, tunnels, and bridges. It is expected that Silicone Sealants will grow at a CAGR of ~XX% during the forecast period.
By application, the global Construction Sealants Market is segmented into Industrial, Commercial, and Residential. Construction sealant materials have higher dominance in the industrial application followed by residential application of construction sealants and its share is to increase due to the population growth leading to the demand for dwelling places for the population, while Commercial application is also expected to grow in the forecasted period. And heavy investment in China for building up the industries has also shown significant growth in the industrial market as well.
Construction Sealants Market Geographical Share
By geography, the global Construction Sealants Market is segmented into North America, Asia-Pacific (APAC), Europe, South America, and the Middle East and Africa (MEA).
APAC holds the largest market share in Construction Sealants Market due to economic rise and rising activity in infrastructure and industrial development in developing nations like China and India has high demands for construction sealants and has made APAC hold most of the market share. However, North America is after APAC in terms of market share of the Construction Sealants Market, due to large investments in infrastructure development and also due to an increase in the urban population, increasing the demand for residential construction.
