Sealants Market Drivers and Opportunities

Growing Demand in the Automotive Industry Favors Market Growth

The automotive industry is experiencing robust growth owing to technological advancements and an upsurge in preference for SUVs, crossovers, and other light trucks. As per the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) report published in January 2023, car production in North America has increased by 10.3%, reaching 10.4 million units in 2022 compared to 2021. Companies operating in the automotive sector invest heavily in automobile manufacturing to increase production and sales. According to the International Energy Agency's annual Global Electric Vehicle Outlook, over 10 million electric cars were sold worldwide in 2022, and the sale is projected to grow by 35% in 2023 to reach 14 million.

Sealants are used in different automobile components and induction systems and aid in sealing moisture, dust, and contaminants. In exterior automotive applications, sealants are used for structural bonding, lamp assembly, and glass bonding. Sealants are utilized in the sealing of vehicle body joints and seams, stationary vehicle glass such as windshields, and quarter glass. The sealant applications across the automotive industry include aluminum vehicle doors, hydrogen cars, vehicle sensors, vehicle lighting systems, and powertrains. Thus, the rising demand from the automotive industry drives the sealant market growth.

Rising Number of Product Launches by Market Players to Create Significant Opportunities

Key manufacturers operating in the sealants market invest significantly in strategic development initiatives such as product innovation, business expansion, and research and development to enhance their market position and attract a wide customer base. In March 2023, Dow expanded its product portfolio with silicone sealant products to offer photovoltaic (PV) module assembly materials, supporting the global movement toward renewable energy. The DOWSIL PV product line contains six silicone-based sealant and adhesive solutions that offer durability and performance for rail bonding, junction box bonding and potting, frame sealing, and building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) installation materials.

In 2022, Bostik launched a comprehensive range of sealants developed for construction applications. The Bostik Pro Sealants range features high and low modulus formulations, and it offers high performance, made available in post-consumer recycled cartridges, reducing the net effect of plastic on the environment. In 2022, Evonik launched the sustainable liquid polybutadienes with POLYVEST eCO, used as a raw material for the production of adhesives and sealants for application in end-use industries such as automotive, electronics, construction, and others. Thus, rising product innovations are expected to create lucrative opportunities in the sealants market during the forecast period.
