The polyurethane sealants market comprises two sealants includes one-component and two-component polyurethane sealant. The one-component sealant is widely used in construction activities due to its elasticity, durability, and excellent waterproofing properties. However, the market growth is restrained by fluctuating prices of raw materials, such as toluene diisocyanate. Despite this, major players' growing interest in polyurethane sealants is expected to drive market growth in the forecast period.

The market for polyurethane sealants is experiencing rapid growth and involves manufacturing and selling sealant products made from polyurethane. These sealants are utilized for bonding and sealing various materials such as wood, metal, concrete, plastic, and more. Polyurethane sealants provide superior strength for bonding, flexibility, durability, and protection against chemicals, water, and UV radiation.

Furthermore, the market is expected to see growth opportunities in the forecast period due to the rising demand for green, sustainable sealants with low VOC. Additionally, the market will likely benefit from the high growth rate and increased government expenditure on infrastructure development. These factors will provide growth opportunities for the polyurethane sealants market.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused a decline in the polyurethane sealant market due to the temporary shutdown of manufacturing and construction activities and disruption in the supply chain. However, as restrictions eased, the market started to recover, with increased demand in the healthcare sector to construct hospitals and in the automotive and transportation industries to produce electric vehicles. Furthermore, the pandemic highlighted the importance of eco-friendly and sustainable materials, increasing demand for bio-based polyurethane sealants.
