Market Overview

The global construction sealants market is undergoing a significant flux with advancements that have already taken place and those that are currently invading the market space. Additionally, the developments in the construction sector with the emergence of smart and energy-efficient buildings have increased the demand for the construction sealants globally to a significant level.

Among the various construction sealants, the silicone sealants are estimated to dominate the construction sealants market during the forecast period 2020-2024. This can be attributed to their high usage in the exteriors of buildings and residential dwellings due to their durability and good weatherproofing characteristics. These find major application in the glazing and room insulation purposes, due to which these have been in great demand across the globe as the glazing applications increasing help in stepping toward the energy-efficient buildings. This will ultimately help in the reduction of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across the globe.

In terms of growth rates, the market for the modified silicone sealants is expected to be growing at the fastest rate during the forecast period 2020-2024 which can be attributed mostly to their high performance and economical behavior.

Apart from growing demand for the construction sealants, there are some factors which are likely to hinder the market growth. The major factors hindering the market growth are the stringent norms and standards to be met toward the reduction of harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released by the construction sealants.

The global construction sealants market accounted for $8,286.8 million in 2018 and is expected to reach $10,409.6 million by 2024. The market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 3.86% during the forecast period 2020-2024. The market growth is attributed to the conduction of new construction and renovation projects in the buildings sector (residential and non-residential) along with the various regulations and norms imposed toward the reduction in the global energy consumption, fire-safety and need for acoustic insulations.

Competitive Landscape
