Adhesives and Sealants Market to Benefit from Growing Construction Industry in Developing Countries

Adhesives and sealants have been in use since ancient times, but at present these items have become essential in vital industries such as construction, automotive, and packaging, among many others. In the modern world, global adhesives and sealants market are prepared from chemicals. At present, there is increasing focus on bio-based adhesives and sealants due to measures taken by governments to minimize damage done to the environment.

Construction Industry to Account for Maximum Demand from Adhesives and Sealants Market

Adhesives bind two items together and can be made from natural or manmade synthetic sources. Sealants are used to prevent leakage and create a barrier. Sealants differ from adhesives in terms of lower strength and higher elasticity and are highly useful for sealing assemblies and joints. Adhesives can be neoprene or starch-based and are used in several industries.

Classification of adhesives is based on their chemical composition, such as polyamides, polyurethane, and epoxy. Different adhesives have different physical properties and are available in a variety of forms such as tapes, pellets, liquid, and pastes. Pressure-sensitive and structural adhesives are among the types of adhesives available in the market.

Sealants are flexible and help provide protection from various substances such as air and water, and are also available in various forms. Polyurethane, acrylic, and silicone sealants are among the types of sealants in the market. Sealants are usually corrosion-resistant, insoluble in many solvents, and adhesive, though not to the extent of adhesive products.

The main application areas of adhesives and sealants are construction, automobiles, and packaging. Construction has increased in BRIC countries and will result in the growth in sealants market, though environment-conservation measures and resultant regulations against the use of chemical-based products can check the predicted market growth for sealants. The outcome of this factor will be a shift towards bio-based adhesives and sealants. The construction industry accounted for 27% of total sealants use in 2011 and the packaging and automotive industries accounted for a collective 34%.
