Key Growth Drivers, Major Companies and Segments Covered

Growth Drivers: Rising demand for high-performance, weather-resistant materials, expanding automotive and transportation production, and government-backed infrastructure development in emerging economies are the primary forces behind the market’s expansion, alongside growing demand for eco-friendly, low-VOC sealants. Technological advances in production are also improving quality while lowering manufacturing costs. Recovery from the COVID-19 slowdown added momentum, with hospital construction and electric vehicle manufacturing lifting demand while the crisis sharpened interest in sustainable, bio-based products. Volatile raw material prices, notably toluene diisocyanate, remain the main restraint. In January 2024, Sika AG inaugurated a new U.S. production facility dedicated to polyurethane sealants to serve rising North American construction and automotive demand.

Major Companies Covered: The Dow Chemical Company, Pidilite Industries Limited, BASF SE, Asian Paints Limited, Sika AG, H.B. Fuller, Arkema S.A., Mapei S.P.A., ITW Polymer Sealants North America, Inc., Soudal N.V., 3M Company, and Henkel AG & Company, KGaA.

Segments Covered: By Type (One Component Polyurethane Sealant, Two Component Polyurethane Sealant), By Application (Building & Construction, Automotive, Aerospace, General Industrial, Marine, Others), and By Region. One-component sealants are widely favored in construction because they need no mixing and resist weathering, UV radiation, and chemicals, while two-component products are valued for vehicle interiors, windows, doors, and industrial cable sealing. Building and construction held the largest application share in 2022 and is expected to keep growing, as polyurethane sealants bond concrete, metal, wood, and plastic while offering strong adhesion, flexibility, and long-term durability.
