Building & Construction Sealants Market To Reach $20,797.49 Million By 2033

Building & Construction Sealants Market Growth & Trends

The global building & construction sealants market size is expected to reach USD 20,797.49 million by 2033, registering a CAGR of 10.0% from 2025 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing construction spending in emerging economies like China and India is the significant factor driving market growth. Furthermore, the rising recovery of infrastructure in developed markets like U.S. and Germany is expected to boost the demand.

Water based sealant emerged as the leading technology worldwide in 2017 owing to its Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) free characteristics and low cost. These products minimize slipping while adhering to vertical surfaces and reduce the need for joint support during curing. Moreover, they are highly heat resistant and therefore the bond caused by them integrity when exposed to sunlight.

The silicone resin based sealants led the market in 2017 due to its characteristics such as thermal stability, adhesion, aesthetic appeal, and weather resistance. Furthermore, these products were significantly adopted for structural glazing and weatherproofing applications.

The bonding segment of the product captured the largest market share in 2017. For the purpose of bonding, construction sealants are always preferred over mechanical fasteners due to high strength bonding characteristics and better environment-friendliness. Also, they facilitate faster development of construction projects and are more economical than mechanical fasteners.

Asia Pacific is predicted to be the fastest growing region in the global building & construction sealants market, during the forecast period. Increasing demand for housing infrastructure coupled with rising per capita income is estimated to propel the construction sector in emerging economies like China, India, Vietnam, and Thailand. Moreover, there is an increasing demand for sustainable products, which is expected to support the growth of bio-based sealants.

The market is dominated by a few players who hold a significant market share. Major players are focusing on product differentiation and innovation to sustain the demand for eco-friendly products. Merger and acquisition is a significant strategy adopted by the industry players to gain a competitive advantage and expand their geographical presence.
