Policies support the development of green buildings, and the construction sealant market has good development prospects

Construction sealant refers to a sealing material that deforms with the shape of the sealing surface, is not easy to flow, and has a certain degree of adhesion. Most of it is a synthetic adhesive. Construction sealants basically have functions such as leakage prevention, waterproofing, vibration prevention, sound insulation, heat insulation, fire prevention, and decoration. The market demand for construction sealants is closely related to the development of key industries such as real estate and transportation. In recent years, with the acceleration of urbanization, and The demand for infrastructure construction has been released, and the scale of the construction sealant market has gradually expanded.

According to the “2021-2025 China Construction Sealant Industry Application Market Demand and Development Opportunities Research Report released by the Industrial Research Center, After years of development and accumulation, my country has become a major producer and consumer of sealants in the world. In the entire sealant market, the construction sealant market accounts for about 40%. In 2020, the output value of my country’s construction sealant industry will be about 18 billion yuan. Construction sealants are mainly used in insulating glass, doors, windows, curtain walls and other fields. Doors and windows are the main application scenarios of construction sealants, accounting for more than 40%.

In the international market, the main suppliers of construction sealants include Dow Chemical of the United States, Elkem ASA of Norway, Momentive Group of the United States, Wacker Chemical of Germany, Shin-Etsu Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. of Japan, etc. In the domestic market, the main suppliers of construction sealants There are Guangzhou Baiyun Chemical Industry, Guangzhou Jitai Chemical Co., Ltd., Hangzhou Zhijiang Silicone Chemical, Chengdu Silicon Bao Technology, etc.

There are many types of construction sealants, including construction silicone sealants, construction polyurethane sealants, construction polysulfide sealants, construction MS sealants, etc. There are structural contradictions in my country’s construction sealant industry. Among them, the market for ordinary construction sealants and low-quality construction sealants is oversupplied and the market competition is fierce, while high-quality, high-performance, and environmentally friendly construction sealants are in short supply. From this point of view, the structure of the construction sealant industry needs to be further optimized.

The construction industry is one of the main battlefields for my country to achieve its “double carbon” goal. Under the guidance of relevant policies, industries such as green buildings, prefabricated buildings, green building materials, and photovoltaic building integration will usher in a period of explosive growth, which will in turn drive the development of building sealants. Market demand continues to be released, and the construction sealant market has great development potential. At the same time, with the high-end development of construction, the market’s requirements for the performance, quality, elasticity, and paintability of construction sealants continue to increase, which will promote the construction sealant industry to upgrade to high-end, multi-functional, environmentally friendly, and diversified directions. .

Industry analysts said that my country is a major producer of construction sealants, but due to technical limitations, the structure of the construction sealant industry is unreasonable. There is overcapacity in low-end construction sealants. Under the strategic goals of carbon neutrality and carbon peaking, prefabricated buildings and photovoltaic building integration will usher in a period of explosive growth. The construction sealant market has broad development space. In the future market development, related companies will expand production capacity while It is still necessary to increase investment in product and technology research and development and seize more market share by relying on advantages such as quality, scale, and brand.
