material costs and varying petroleum prices make it difficult for sealant manufacturers to maintain current prices, the overall rise in production costs rules out further price reduction. In addition, end users want stable prices despite the cost increases. As a result, sealant manufacturers are challenged to maintain low prices while upgrading technologies to meet regulation standards and refined specifications. With cost competition, the diversity of substrates, changing standards, and lack of product definition pushing down profit margins, continuous R&D efforts can help identify a solution that meets manufacturers' requirements and provides a quality product. This research service analyzes the North American market for sealants. The study covers silicone, polyurethane, acrylic, butyl, bitumen-based, polyvinyl chloride plastisol, and all other types of sealants, which are used in the construction, automotive, industrial, do-it-yourself, aerospace, and marine industries. Advances in Technology Continue to Create Demand for Sealants Technological advancements are boosting demand for sealants in the mature North American market. "Shorter cure time, improved performance benefits such as high-performing seals, better adhesion to a variety of substrates, resistance to chemicals and gas, combined with a host of other innovations are reviving the market," says the author. The most notable innovations include the developments in silyl-terminated systems and reactive hot-melt urethanes for window applications. The use of acrylic roofing systems combined with bitumen-based sealant membranes is also on the rise. In addition, advances in design and packaging are driving consumer demand for more convenient application systems. Success Lies in Identifying Key Opportunities Primary end-user verticals for sealants - construction, industrial, automotive, aerospace, marine, and do-it-yourself - have been through several upheavals and manufacturers are hard-pressed to identify opportunities in such an environment. While manufacturers are looking for ways to reduce manufacturing costs, provide quality products, and understand changing customer requirements, end users mainly want cost-effective solutions. Satisfying all these criteria involves a periodic transfer of information from both quarters and gaining clarity in terms of definition and application. For now, the anticipated increase in renovations/construction, rising end-user awareness in the do-it-yourself segment and the focus on speedier manufacturing of products are expected to spur sealant demand. There is also growing interest in new sealant technology for high end-applications such as aerospace and marine.
