AbstractThis Frost & Sullivan research service on the North American Construction Caulks and Sealants Market provides an overview of the sealants market revenues and forecasts, along with a complete analysis of key market drivers, restraints, and trends that are impacting manufacturers and consumers. In this research, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine the following applications: residential and do-it-yourself, and commercial construction. These are further segmented into silicone, polyurethane, acrylic, butyl, hybrid, and all other sealant types.This research service is available through our Chemicals & Materials Growth Partnership Service program. With this program, clients receive industry-leading market research such as this, along with technical and econometric data and many interactive features including Analyst Inquiry Time and Client Councils. Market Sectors Expert Frost & Sullivan analysts thoroughly examine the following market sectors in this research: By Application: The following technologies are covered in this research: End Users’ Eagerness to Evaluate New Technologies to Reduce Energy Expenses Increases Demand for Sealants For the past few years, energy prices have been increasing in North America, affecting consumers’ margins. Hence, end users are more enthusiastic to look for new or different technologies and products that can help them alleviate the rising energy expenses. "This is essentially driving the demand for sealants and new sealant technologies, particularly silyl-terminated polyurethanes that fit the energy efficiency trends of the public," remarks the analyst of this research service. Many companies have expanded their R&D efforts to introduce to the market sealants that will further help reduce energy spending in each household. Moreover, end users’ increasing eagerness to undertake home projects on their own and to spend time searching for new products and their usage is driving the demand for sealants in the do-it-yourself (DIY) construction sector, especially polyurethane and acrylic sealants. Manufacturers and Associations Must Help Consumers Make Educated Choices to Increase Sales Due to technological developments, more niche applications for sealants are being discovered that meet consumer’s demand, market trends, and open up new doors to increase the penetration rate of sealants in new applications. "However, the ample number of products available in the market makes it complicated for end users to identify the appropriate sealant for their applications," explains the analyst. "To offset this challenge, manufacturers should focus their efforts on educating end users through workshops, seminars, and user-friendly Web sites and develop sealants that will allow for reworks if they are not chosen correctly for the specific application." A few manufacturers and organizations are stepping up to this challenge. For instance, Dow Corning Corporation has tried to offer help by displaying technical information on its corporate Web site, enabling end users to understand the need for sealants and their applications. Henkel Corporation has introduced an Adhesives Technology Workshop that is targeted to help construction caulks and sealants consumers increase their productivity. The Adhesive and Sealant Council (ASC) is planning to conduct a short course on polyurethanes in October 2007 to help educate end users. Get Full Details About This Report >> |
