Growing Building & Construction Industry Fuels North America Sealants Market
Silicone sealants are used in the expansion, construction, connection, and movement of joints to ensure the stability of structural materials. Sealants add flexibility to building structures, allowing materials to absorb stress and movement caused by uncertain climatic conditions. They also offer energy efficiency to the buildings and provide a barrier against air, dust, and sound. Structural sealants are used for several applications such as roofing, glass bonding, fire barriers, crack repair, and deck coatings.
As per the US Census Bureau, during the first five months of 2023, the total construction spending in the US was US$ 740.8 billion.

Such investments increase construction activities, generating demand for construction services, chemicals, and materials. Government infrastructure projects such as road construction, bridges, railways, and urban development initiatives also create demand for construction materials. Thus, the growth of the building & construction industry fuels the North America sealants market growth.
North America Sealants Market Overview
In the US, the aviation sector is significantly growing due to the presence of established aircraft manufacturers, such as the Boeing Company and Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation. Sealants such as silicon, polyurethane, and polysulfide are used in the aerospace industry. They are used inside and outside aircraft parts for fixtures, fittings, and other mechanical and structural applications. The construction industry is one of the largest contributors to the US economy and creates US$ 1.4 trillion worth of structures each year. According to the Global Construction 2030 study by PwC, the global construction output value would grow by 85% to US$ 15.5 trillion by 2030, dominated by the US, China, and India. A 2022 report by the USAFacts Institute states that the federal government of the US passed the Infrastructure Investments and Jobs Act in 2021, with plans to allocate US$ 550 billion in new federal infrastructure, including the repair or rebuilding of bridges, roads, rail, and airports, over the span of 5 years. Thus, the flourishing construction sector nationwide boosts the demand for sealants. The US is witnessing a significant rise in the demand for electric vehicles. According to a 2022 report by the International Energy Agency, the sales of electric cars in the country doubled in 2021 from the previous year; the share of electric vehicle sales rose by 4.5% in 2021, with 6.6 million units sold in that year. Therefore, the strong growth of the construction, aerospace, and automotive sectors is boosting the demand for sealants in the US.
