The growing automotive production in the region is surging the demand for sealants and adhesives for assembling body panels, attaching interior components, sealing windows, and ensuring weatherproofing and soundproofing. In 2022, 10.9 million passenger cars were manufactured in the European Union. As the automotive sector increasingly adopts lightweight materials such as carbon fibre and aluminium to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions, the demand for advanced sealants and adhesives to offer strong bonding properties is rising.
The booming e-commerce sector in the region is increasing the demand for effective packaging materials, including sealants and adhesives, for use in boxes, cartons, and other product packaging. Reportedly, the e-commerce sector in South Africa reached ZAR 71 billion in sales volume in 2023, representing 29% growth from ZAR 55 billion in 2022. With the expansion of the e-commerce sector and the increasing demand for customised packaging solutions, the demand for speciality adhesives and sealants that meet specific needs, such as high-performance bonding for electronics or temperature-sensitive items, is rising.
The surging home renovation activities, buoyed by rapid urbanisation, growing income levels, and the rising shift towards personalised living spaces, are revolutionising the EMEA sealants and adhesives market landscape. Sealants and adhesives are crucial for flooring, wall cladding, tile installation, and weatherproofing in renovation activities. Reportedly, in 2023, London accounted for 14% of all granted renovation planning applications in the UK, followed by Surrey and Greater Manchester at 4% each. This rise in renovation activities is prompting key players to expand their manufacturing capacities and distribution channels.

Germany and France are the major regional markets in Europe. The robustly growing silicones industry in the two countries is aiding the market in the region. Germany is also a major manufacturing hub for automobiles, which is a major end-use sector for both sealants and adhesives. The country is not just a leading automotive market in Europe but is also a significant global market. The industry in the country saw a growth of nearly 3% in 2018, as compared to the previous year. It is estimated to see further healthy growth in 2020. The automobiles market in Germany is also being propelled forward by the rising demand from its neighbouring country, Poland. The sealants and adhesives industry in Europe is used to build lighter vehicles with an aim of reducing the overall emissions. The growth of the e-vehicles sector on the continent is also aiding the market growth.
Saudi Arabia is the leading market for sealants and adhesives in the Middle East and Africa. The industry in the country is being aided by the increasing investments into the country’s construction sector as the kingdom attempts to move away from its dependency on petrodollars. Saudi Arabia is currently seeking USD 425 billion in investments into its infrastructure industry as part of Crown Prince HRH Mohammed Bin Salman’s Vision 2030 programme. These expected investments are projected to drive the growth of the sealants and adhesives industry in the coming five years. The United Arab Emirates is also a major market for sealants and adhesives, and together with Saudi Arabia, accounts for over 45% of the industry in the Middle East.
Robust growth of the construction sector; rising demand for eco-friendly materials; increasing use of adhesives and sealants in 3D printing; and development of smart sealants and adhesives are favouring the EMEA sealants and adhesives market expansion.
The robust growth of the construction sector, buoyed by favourable government initiatives and rapid urbanisation, is creating lucrative EMEA sealants and adhesives market opportunities. High-performance sealants and adhesives are used for sealing and bonding joints and gaps in building materials, improving insulation, reducing leaks, and creating airtight and energy-efficient structures.
The growing focus on sustainability and the introduction of stringent environmental regulations by governments in the EMEA to reduce VOC emissions are boosting the popularity of bio-based and recyclable adhesives and sealants. Manufacturers are also exploring the use of eco-friendly sources such as soy, plant-based polymers, and starch as alternatives to petrochemical ingredients to manufacture sealants and adhesives.
With the growing popularity of 3D printing technology, the demand for specialised sealants and adhesives that are compatible with diverse materials such as composites, metals, ceramics, and plastics is increasing. In addition, advancements in 3D printing technology are boosting the development of customised adhesive formulations designed to provide optimal bonding for 3D-printed parts.
Key players are developing smart sealants and adhesives with self-healing properties and enhanced bonding strength to enhance the durability of bonded structures, reduce maintenance and replacement requirements, and provide superior adhesion to different surfaces, including composites, metals, glass, and plastics, among others. In the forecast period, the integration of IoT technologies in adhesives and sealants to provide real-time monitoring capabilities and facilitate predictive maintenance is anticipated to fuel the market.
Sealants seal the gaps between the surfaces and the joints in a structure to prevent it from damage from factors such as rain, water, dust, chemicals, or dirt. They are flexible and have low shrinkage abilities. Their paste-like consistency helps them fill the gaps between substrates and the joints.
