The United Kingdom sealants market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.20% between 2025 and 2034.
The automotive industry's demand for sealing solutions drives United Kingdom sealants market growth. Sealants are integral in automotive assembly for applications such as bonding, noise reduction, and ensuring vehicle integrity. Also, the surge in construction and infrastructure development projects in United Kingdom increases the demand for sealants. Sealants play a crucial role in sealing joints and providing weather-resistant solutions in building construction, contributing to market growth.
An emerging trend in market is introduction of bio-based sealant, which are derived from renewable biomass such as vegetable oils or natural resins, making them more environmentally friendly than traditional petroleum-based products. Merbenatur e is an example of a bio-based sealant that is gaining popularity in the UK. It can be used for sealing movement and element joints in building construction, as well as for bricking, plaster, wood, various metals, and plastics in indoor and outdoor areas.
Additionally, the increasing use of sealants in electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing is further contributing to United Kingdom sealants market development as sealants ensure effective sealing of battery compartments, reduce noise, and enhance overall vehicle performance. The number of electric cars registered in 2023 reached nearly 315,000, which contributed to market growth as well.
The silicone-based resins are expected to dominate the market as they offer excellent durability, flexibility, and resistance to extreme temperatures. This makes them preferable in many industrial applications, such as building and construction of houses and offices. The demand for silicone sealants is further driven by other end-user industries, including the healthcare, electronics, locomotive, marine, and do-it-yourself (DIY) sectors.
The automotive end user segment command a significant United Kingdom sealants market share as sealants are vital for automotive manufacturers. Automotive manufacturers of UK, such as Bostik, Hylomar Ltd, and Antala utilise sealants for various applications, such as for bonding interior components (dashboards, electronic systems), sealing exteriors, and enhancing e-motor and battery applications. Sealants contribute to vehicle quality and reliability.
