With new construction and renovation of old buildings demand for sealants will rise
- The Italian sealants market is majorly driven by the construction industry, followed by the other end-user industries segment due to the diverse applications of sealants in building and construction activities, such as waterproofing, weather-sealing, cracks-sealing, and joint-sealing. The Italian construction industry accounted for nearly 8% of the country's GDP. In 2018, Italy registered more than 490,000 companies in construction and related works. Due to the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Italian construction industry's growth declined by 10.1% in 2020.
- A variety of sealants are widely used in electronics and electrical equipment manufacturing for potting and protecting applications. The Italian electronics market registered significant growth mostly due to the high demand for large household appliances, consumer electronics, and telephony. This is expected to foster the demand for sealants from the other end-user industries segment. A range of applications of sealants in the locomotive and DIY industries is expected to boost the demand for sealants by 2028.
- Sealants have diverse applications in the healthcare industry, and Italy has achieved significant development in the manufacturing of medical equipment over the decades. Sealants are used for healthcare applications such as assembling and sealing medical device parts. The country counted nearly 4,323 companies in the medical device and technology market. The Italian government also announced plans to invest EUR 1.18 billion to upgrade 3,133 devices at the end of 2024. Thus, such a trend is expected to augment the demand for medical-grade sealants over the coming years.
Italy Sealants Market Trends
Increasing government policies and investments in the infrastructure sector to propel the construction industry
- In Italy, the Budget Law 2017 was introduced to boost public and private investments in the public infrastructure sectors. A budget of USD 53 billion was also allotted for the development of government infrastructure in the country for the period 2017-2032. In 2019, the Municipality of Florence also approved land to develop a new stadium as part of the larger urban redevelopment plan. The stadium is likely to hold a capacity of 40,000 seats; it is expected to be completed by 2023.
- However, in 2020, the Italian construction market contracted by 23%, as Italy was one of the worst-hit nations during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, the Italian construction market registered the highest growth rate of 16.59%. According to the European Commission, the Italian government announced several initiatives to promote the residential/housing market. Under its 2021 Budget Law, Italy extended the timeline for the super bonus, 110% deduction up to June 30, 2022. The Italian government has been promoting construction subsidies to invest a minimum of USD 20,000 per house in some cities to promote the population of the city by providing sponsorship for stay. This is expected to boost house construction in the future, as construction in Italy is significantly cheaper than in many other parts of Europe, especially for vacation homes.
- The Italian construction market is expected to register a CAGR of 3.2% during the forecast period (2022-2028). As the government focuses on improving commercial infrastructure and other civil engineering activities across the country, changes in government policies for foreign direct investments and tax deductions are expected to drive the construction industry in the country, which, in turn, is expected to drive the market.
Rising electric vehicles demand is likely to boost automotive production
- Italy is one of the major automotive manufacturers in Europe. Compared to 2017, automotive vehicle production in the country contracted by 9.26% in 2018 and 22.2% in 2019, as in 2018 and 2019, factors like the fallout from Brexit, the implementation of more complex environmental regulations, and the tensions between the United States and China negatively affected the market for automotive vehicles in Italy.
- The automotive vehicle production volume contracted by 20% in 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in disruptions in car manufacturing and had a negative impact on the whole supply chain. Many suppliers additionally suffer from increased raw material costs (e.g., for steel, plastics, and resin) and higher energy prices, affecting the automotive market in the country.
- In 2020, the country's electric vehicle growth further increased. Registrations for pure EVs in the first six months of 2020 were up by 86% compared to 2019. Almost 31,000 pure EVs were sold in 2020 till the end of June. Total sales of all plug-in vehicles rose to 50,500 units. The average pure-electric market share also increased significantly, driving the market for adhesives and sealants in the country.
- Similarly, the year 2021 witnessed continued growth in the Italian EV market. In recent years, electric vehicle sales increased by six-fold in just three years. Similarly, the market share of electric vehicles increased to 4.6% in 2021. Thus, it is expected to improve the market for adhesives and sealants in the country.

Keyword | Definition |
---|---|
Hot-melt Adhesive | Hot melt adhesives are generally 100% solid formulations, based on thermoplastic polymers. They are solid at room temperature and are activated upon heating above their softening point, at which stage they are liquid, and hence, can be processed. |
Reactive Adhesive | A reactive adhesive is made up of monomers that react in the adhesive curing process and do not evaporate from the film during use. Instead, these volatile components become chemically incorporated into the adhesive. |
Solvent-borne Adhesive | Solvent-borne adhesives are mixtures of solvents and thermoplastic, or slightly cross-linked polymers, such as polychloroprene, polyurethane, acrylic, silicone, and natural and synthetic rubbers (elastomers). |
Water-borne Adhesive | Water-borne adhesives use water as a carrier or diluting medium to disperse a resin. They are set by allowing the water to evaporate or be absorbed by the substrate. These adhesives are compounded with water as a diluent, rather than a volatile organic solvent. |
UV Cured Adhesive | UV curing adhesives induce curing and create a permanent bond without heating by using ultraviolet (UV) light or other radiation sources. An aggregation of monomers and oligomers is cured or polymerized by ultraviolet (UV) or visible light in a UV adhesive. Because UV is a radiating energy source, UV adhesives are often referred to as radiation curing or rad-cure adhesives. |
Heat-resistant Adhesive | Heat-resistant Adhesives refer to those that do not break down under high temperatures. One aspect of a complicated system of circumstances is the adhesive's capacity to withstand disintegration brought on by high temperatures. As the temperature rises, adhesives may liquefy. They can withstand stresses resulting from differing coefficients of expansion and contraction, which might be an additional advantage. |
Reshoring | Reshoring is the practice of moving commodity production and manufacturing back to the nation where the business was founded. Onshoring, inshoring, and back shoring are further terms used. Offshoring, the practice of producing items abroad to lower labor and manufacturing costs, is the opposite of this. |
Oleochemicals | Oleochemicals are compounds produced from biological oils or fats. They resemble petrochemicals, which are substances made from petroleum. The oleochemical business is built on the hydrolysis of oils or fats. |
Nonporous Materials | Nonporous materials are substances that do not permit the passage of liquid or air. Nonporous materials are those that are not porous, such as glass, plastic, metal, and varnished wood. Since no air can get through, less airflow is required to raise these materials, negating the requirement for high airflow. |
EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement | A trade agreement and an investment protection agreement were concluded between the European Union and Vietnam on June 30, 2019. |
VOC content | Compounds with limited solubility in water and high vapor pressure are known as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Many VOCs are human-made chemicals that are used and produced in the manufacture of paints, pharmaceuticals, and refrigerants. |
Emulsion Polymerization | Emulsion polymerization is a method of producing polymers or connected groups of smaller chemical chains known as monomers, in a water solution. The method is often used to make water-based paints, adhesives, and varnishes, in which the water stays with the polymer and is marketed as a liquid product. |
2025 National Packaging Targets | In 2018, the Australian Environment Ministry set the following 2025 National Packaging Targets: 100% of the packaging must be reusable, recyclable, or compostable by 2025, 70% of plastic packaging must be recycled or composted by 2025, 50% of average recycled content must be included in packaging by 2025, and problematic and unnecessary single-use plastic packaging must be phased out by 2025. |
Russian Government’s Import Substitution Policy | The Western sanctions suspended the distribution of several high-tech items to Russia, including those required by the raw material export sectors and the military-industrial complex. In response, the government launched an "import substitution" scheme, appointing a special commission to oversee its implementation in early 2015. |
Paper Substrate | Paper substrates are paper sheets, reels, or boards with a base weight of up to 400 g/m2 that has not been converted, printed or otherwise altered. |
Insulation Material | A material that inhibits or blocks heat, sound, or electrical transmission is known as Insulation Material. The variety of insulation materials includes thick fibers like fiberglass, rock and slag wool, cellulose, and natural fibers as well as stiff foam boards and sleek foils. |
Thermal Shock | A temperature change known as thermal shock generates stress in a material. It commonly results in material breakdown and is especially prevalent in brittle materials like ceramics. When there is a quick temperature change, either from hot to cold or vice versa, this process occurs abruptly. It occurs more frequently in materials with poor heat conductivity and insufficient structural integrity. |
