South Africa Sealants Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the South Africa Sealants Market according to our research experts:
Building and Construction is the largest segment by End User Industry.
- The construction industry dominates the South African sealants market due to diverse applications of sealants in building and construction activities, such as waterproofing, weather-sealing, cracks-sealing, and joint sealing. Construction sealants are designed for longevity and ease of application on different substrates. The construction industry plays a vital role in the country’s economy. However, construction activities decreased by 36.6% in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic-related restrictions and scarcity of raw materials.
- The other end-user industries segment comprises electronics and electrical components, locomotive and marine, and DIY, of which the electronics industry holds the largest share due to the diverse applications of sealants in the electronics and electrical equipment manufacturing industry for potting and protecting materials. They are used for sealing sensors and cables, etc. Moreover, the rapid growth of information technology, along with the strong market positioning of the consumer electronics segment, is expected to propel the electronics industry and gradually boost the South African sealants market.
- Sealants have numerous applications in the healthcare and automotive industries, and South Africa has registered significant growth in these sectors over the last few years. Sealants are used in healthcare primarily for assembling and sealing medical device parts. The automotive industry also exhibits significant applicability of sealants to various substrates such as glass, metal, plastic, and painted surfaces. Rapidly growing domestic demand for better healthcare facilities and increasing investments in these sectors are expected to influence the demand for sealants over the forecast period.
