Insulated Glass Adhesives and Sealants Market Dynamics
The growing adoption of high-performance adhesives and sealants across various end-user industries is driving the market growth. However, the excess use of insulated glass adhesives and sealants impacts health and restrains the market growth.
Increased consumption of insulated glass adhesives and sealants in the construction industry drives the market growth
Polyurethane is a versatile polymer used in various industrial and consumer products. In the insulated glass market, polyurethane is used as an adhesive and sealant to bond the multiple layers of glass and other materials together in insulated glass units (IGUs). Polyurethane adhesives and sealants offer several benefits for IGUs, including high strength, excellent weather resistance, and good thermal insulation properties. These properties make polyurethane an ideal material for IGUs, commonly used in buildings to improve energy efficiency and reduce heating and cooling costs. The increasing demand for energy-efficient buildings is driving the insulated glass market's growth; as a result, the demand for polyurethane adhesives and sealants is also increasing.
The high costs of raw materials may limit market growth in the global insulated glass adhesives and sealants market
The high cost of raw materials used to produce polyurethane adhesives and sealants is a significant factor that may restrain the growth of the global insulated glass adhesives and sealants market. The major raw materials used in producing polyurethane adhesives and sealants are isocyanates and polyalcohols. The materials are relatively expensive, which can increase the cost of producing insulated glass units and make them less competitive with other forms of glazing. The high cost of raw materials can also make it difficult for manufacturers to produce insulated glass units at a competitive price, limiting their ability to expand into new markets and increase their market share. It can also make it difficult for manufacturers to compete with low-cost imports, further limiting the market growth. Furthermore, the high cost of raw materials can also lead to a decrease in the profit margins for manufacturers, making it difficult for them to invest in research and development, marketing and other activities that are essential for the market's growth.
COVID-19 impact analysis on Insulated Glass Adhesives & Sealants Market
The COVID-19 pandemic unevenly impacted the global insulated glass adhesives and sealants market. Insulated glass adhesives and sealants market growth was affected due to the outbreak of COVID-19 in three different ways: demand, production, supply chain and market disruption. The restrictions in manufacturing units are some factors that decrease the adhesives and sealants market.
The trade restriction, breaking supply chains, government restrictions on manufacturing products and worldwide lockdowns can affect adhesives and sealants demand. Therefore, the production processing factories and packaging were closed. The demand for global insulated glass adhesives and sealants decreased internationally. Therefore, companies were increasingly closed for services. Further, with the government movement restrictions and lockdowns, the development of new products was slowed considerably. It also hampered the ability of chemical companies to respond to supply chains giving much more challenging.
The pandemic will not impact the long-term growth prospects of the global insulated glass adhesives and sealants market since growing automotive and transportation will raise in the coming years. The demand for glass adhesives and sealants remains strong and is expected to grow gradually in the coming years.
Insulated Glass Adhesives and Sealants Market Segmentation
The global insulated glass adhesives and sealants market is segmented into resin, end-user and region.
The building and construction industry drives demand for insulated glass adhesives and sealants in the market
Due to the increasing demand for energy-efficient buildings, the building and construction end-user segment dominates the global insulated glass adhesive and sealants market. Insulated glass units (IGUs) are used in buildings to improve thermal insulation and reduce energy consumption. Adhesive and sealants are used to seal the edges of IGUs, preventing the entry of air and moisture and improving the overall energy efficiency of the building.
Population growth, urbanization and the increasing focus on energy-efficient buildings drive the building and construction industry. Governments worldwide are implementing policies and regulations to promote energy-efficient building materials, further driving the demand for insulated glass adhesives and sealants.
Additionally, the increasing use of glazed curtain walls, skylights and other fenestration products in commercial and residential buildings is also driving the demand for insulated glass adhesive and sealants. Furthermore, the rise in renovation and retrofitting activities in existing buildings contributes to the market's growth.

Product Portfolio
- DOWSIL 3363 Insulating Glass Sealant: A two-part silicone sealant with high strength designed with high-strength applications in mind, where conventional sealants with lower strength would result in larger joints. In extremely demanding insulating glass applications, such as high wind in tall structures, hurricane loads, cold-bent glass, or high-impact loads like a bomb blast, it permits affordable joint sizes. Smaller joint dimensions may be filled more quickly, which increases production. Its benefit includes low water absorption, non-corrosive cure, fast curing time, excellent extrudability and high design strength.
Key Developments:
- In June 2022, Insulating glass was given an aesthetic and functional enhancement by Dow. Dow is now providing designers and specifiers with the potential to realize an attractive "one-color-edge" for insulating glass, a crucial design component in modern glass facades. The DOWSIL Primary and Secondary Sealants, part of this color-matched edge sealant system, provide exceptional performance in gas-filled insulating glass for a consistent appearance and enhanced aesthetics at the glass edge.
