Building & Construction Sealants Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Material Type (Latex acrylics, Butyl sealants, Polysulfides, Polyurethane, Silyl Modified Polymers, Silicones, Others), By Sealant Types (One-Component Sealants, Two-Component Sealants, Sealant Tapes), By Application (Flooring, Sanitary & Kitchen, Glazing, Acoustics (limit sound transmission), Roofing (Waterproofing & gap filling), Others) Others and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Sealants are widely used to seal assemblies & joints. Sealant materials need to have excellent adhesion along with resistance to environmental conditions to ensure prolong durability and performance. Sealants fall under either high strength adhesives or very low strength caulks & putties. Caulks & putties serve only a single function i.e. fill up space & voids. Whereas, sealants play multiple roles like moisture retention & prevention, sealing, thermal and acoustical insulation, etc.

On the basis of material type, building & construction sealants market is segmented into latex acrylics, butyl sealants, polysulfides, polyurethane, silyl modified polymers (SMP), silicones and others. On the basis of sealant type, Building & Construction Sealants market is segmented into one-component sealants, two-component sealants, and sealants tapes. On the basis of application, building & construction sealants market is segmented into flooring, sanitary & kitchen, glazing, acoustics (limit sound transmission), roofing (waterproofing & gap filling), and others.

From a geographical standpoint, the market is categorised into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa.

Key market Drivers- Asia Pacific & Latin America regions are witnessing healthy growths in the building & construction industry on the back of developing economies in the region. Furthermore, the rising disposable income is also boosting the construction industry in the region that in-turn is propelling the sealants market growth. With the advent of new sealant materials like silyl modified polymers (SMP), that are low in VOC constituent and isocyanates, the building & construction industry is getting shaped in new way and moving towards greener technology.         

Key market restraints- Regulatory changes around the world and emerging substitutes such as bio-based sealants for conventional sealant materials is hampering the market growth. The lawmakers around the world are promoting the use of greener technology that has hampered the market in the recent years.
