Key Trends in the Market

Adhesives are non-metallic liquid substances that are used to bind construction materials through forces of cohesion and adhesion. They are useful in carpet laying, countertop lamination, and fixing of roofing systems, among others. On the other hand, sealants are used to block the gap between two irregular surfaces to prevent pest infestation, entry of air and moisture, and block dust. These two substances are critical to the construction of any building and constitute an important raw material for the construction industry.

• The increasing residential construction and a surge in home renovation spending are some of the key factors driving the United States construction adhesives and sealants market growth. Sealants can improve the energy efficiency of buildings by preventing air leakage and maintaining a consistent indoor temperature, which can also help reduce electricity costs of occupants.
• One of the key United States construction adhesives and sealants market trends is the increasing demand for waterproof sealants to prevent the migration or rise of moisture in building structures to increase their longevity and improve durability. Companies offer a range of products for interior and exterior waterproofing applications, from groundworks and roofing to tunnels. These waterproofing solutions are based on technologies like cementitious sealant, bitumen sealant, and epoxy sealant, among others.
• Prefabrication of buildings in the construction industry is expected to boost the demand for adhesives and sealants for assemblage of different building parts on site. Prefabrication helps in minimising waste, dealing with labour shortage, improving occupational safety of workers, and completing project on time.
• Interior design companies are innovating newer styles and launching different wallpaper patterns, including chinoiserie design, animal print, and damask wallpaper. This is making the customisation of homes and renovation simpler, depending upon the residents’ choice. The growing popularity of wallpapers is expected to favour the United States  construction adhesives and sealants market demand over the forecast period.
