Silicone Adhesives and Sealants Market: Overview

Silicone adhesives and sealants are adhesives with silicon and oxygen atoms that are used to seal or attach substrates in an assembly. Its chemical makeup differs from that of other organic polymer-based adhesives. Other chemicals, moisture, and weathering are all resistant to silicone sealants. Silicone sealants are frequently used to join surfaces including plastic, metal, and glass. Silicone adhesives, which are based on electrometric technology, provide unrivaled flexibility and exceptional heat resistance, making them superlative for several applications in the electronic, electrical, aerospace, automotive, and construction sectors.

COVID-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected the global silicone adhesives and sealants market growth. The automobile industry has faced several issues as a result of COVID-19. The United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, South Korea, and Japan are among the main industrialized economies that have been negatively affected. Sales in Europe and the United States are not expected to recover to pre-COVID levels until 2023 at the earliest. The construction industry has faced several obstacles as a result of COVID-19. The United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, South Korea, Spain, and Japan are among the nations most badly hit by the epidemic. Due to supply chain delays and manpower shortages, building operations in most nations have been halted due to social distancing measures, supply chain interruptions, and labor dispersion.

Silicone Adhesives and Sealants Market: Growth Drivers

Increased demand from the building and construction sector may boost the market growth

The residential building sector is being driven by population growth and urbanization in emerging nations such as India, China, Indonesia, Brazil, Vietnam, and Mexico. In these nations, there is a mounting want for lasting housing, which is fueling the requirement for silicone adhesives and sealants. Silicone sealants and adhesives are used in a variety of building applications, including carpet, wallpapers, tiling, and external insulation systems. Insulated glass modules and curtain wall panels are also held in place with adhesives and sealants.

Silicone Adhesives and Sealants Market: Restraints

Stringent regulations on the use of adhesives and sealants may hamper the market growth

The manufacture of chemical and crude oil-based goods is heavily regulated in North America and Europe by environmental legislation. The manufacture of solvent-based goods in these regions is regulated by organizations such as the Epoxy Resin Committee and the European Commission. Due to such regulations manufacturers in Europe and North America are suffering. Further, these environmental laws are forcing manufacturers to work on developing environmentally friendly adhesives which may also affect the market growth.

Silicone Adhesives and Sealants Market: Opportunities

Increasing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly adhesives is likely to offer better growth opportunities for market growth

The United States Environmental Protection Agency, Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals in Europe, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design in the United States, and other regional regulatory bodies have forced manufacturers of adhesives and sealants to create sustainable and environmentally friendly products with no or low VOC levels. However, manufacturers have benefited greatly from the trend toward more environmentally friendly products. Henkel, a leading adhesives and sealants firm, provides solvent-free solutions including H4710, H4500, H4720, and H3151 that comply with environmental requirements. Sustainable and green adhesive solutions created from recycled, renewable, biodegradable, or remanufactured materials are becoming more popular as the demand for ecologically friendly or green buildings grows. All of these factors are projected to drive opportunities for the global silicone adhesives and sealants market in the coming period.

Silicone Adhesives and Sealants Market: Challenges

A shift in standards and rules poses a major challenge to the market expansion

In terms of norms and rules, the silicone adhesives and sealants sector is always changing. The Construction Products Regulation (CPR) imposed new regulations for the advertising of construction products in the EU, such as regulation (EU) No 305/2011. Manufacturers must carry an additional burden in terms of labeling and documentation, as well as additional external testing expenses, to verify conformity under the new standards. Additional material warnings concentrating on biocides and waste packaging are issued on a regular basis, causing regulatory requirements to shift. To market, their products, adhesives, and sealants producers must follow the norms and changing requirements. Manufacturers are facing hurdles as a result of this.
