Increasing building & construction sector to drive the global elastomeric sealant market during the review period

Pune, India, April, 2018 /press release/- Market Research Future Published a Half Cooked Research Report on Global Elastomeric Sealants Market Research Report.

Market Overview

Elastomeric sealants are elastic and flexible bonding materials used for sealing, finishing, and surface protection. They offer excellent durability, flexibility, adhesions, and heat resistance which are essential in various applications such as, roof building, cladding, and marble work, among others.

The global elastomeric sealants market is driven by the increasing demand from various end-use industries such as building & construction, automotive & transportation, electronics, and woodworking among others. Among the aforementioned end-use industries, the building & construction segment accounts for the major market share and is expected to retain its dominance due to the growing infrastructural projects across the globe. The market is also segmented on the basis of type as silicone, polysulfide, polyurethanes, silane modified polymers, and others. Among these, the silane-modified polymers (SMP) is leading segment of the market due to its properties such as elasticity, paint compatibility, UV resistance, and adhesion to wet surface among others. Although, the silane-modified polymers offers excellent properties, it is very expensive. This may hamper the market growth over the forecast period. Nevertheless, the silicone type is gaining traction in the market owing to the ease of availability and low cost. The polyurethanes elastomer sealant are widely consumed in sealing industrial equipment due to their properties such as high elasticity, abrasion resistance, tear strength, chemical resistance, and wide temperature compatibility which may further propel the market growth over the assessment period. However, the increasing use of foam tapes in construction activities and several regulations regarding the VOC content of elastomeric sealant might constrain the market growth.
