Global Seal Coat Market 2023
Description
A seal coat is a surface treatment aimed at preserving and prolonging the lifespan of streets by safeguarding aging pavement surfaces and sealing small cracks to prevent water infiltration. The Global Seal Coat Market, valued at USD 1.34 billion in 2022, is anticipated to reach USD 1.66 billion by 2029, exhibiting a steady compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.0% from 2023 to 2029. Seal coating, also known as pavement sealing, acts as a protective barrier for asphalt-based pavements, shielding them from water, oil, and UV damage.
The market faced significant challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, including shortages of raw materials, labor, and disruptions in the supply chain. However, as construction activities rebound, the demand for seal coats is expected to rise. The market's growth is primarily driven by factors such as commercial construction, pavement construction, industrialization, and urbanization.
Stringent environmental regulations and health concerns related to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are known to cause cancer, have resulted in the prohibition of coal tar-based seal coats in certain regions, thereby limiting market expansion. Nevertheless, the increasing focus on refurbishment and repair activities presents new avenues for growth.

Asphalt-based seal coats dominate the market due to their fast drying, non-irritating, and odorless properties. They offer flexibility without check cracking and avoid staining surfaces like coal tar seal coats. The demand for seal coats is driven by pavement applications, with a projected CAGR of 3.3% from 2023 to 2029. Seal coats provide slip-resistant surfaces and enhance the appearance of parking lots and driveways. They extend the lifespan of asphalt binders and materials, acting as a protective barrier against water, oils, and UV damage. By resisting chemicals and water, seal coats prevent asphalt weakening, reducing the need for frequent repairs and extending the lifespan of driveways and parking lots.
The prevalence of driveways and parking lots in various types of buildings, including residential units, high-rise structures, commercial centers, schools, hospitals, and airports, drives the demand for seal coats in North America and Europe. The construction industry in Germany has grown, with increasing orders and permits for new buildings. Europe is experiencing retail sector expansion, leading to the construction of new malls and increased demand for seal coats. The US is a leading market for seal coats, with over 90% of parking areas and a vast network of roads surfaced with asphalt. The FAA has allocated funding for airport improvements, and the USCB reports ongoing commercial construction projects requiring new driveways and parking lots. The expenditure on asphalt pavement is significant in the residential and non-residential construction segments, driven by the rise of nuclear families and high-rise buildings. This contributes to the growth of the seal coat industry in North America.
Competitive Landscape
The seal coat market is fragmented, with key players including Asphalt Coatings Engineering, Inc., Crafco, Inc., Fahrner Asphalt Sealers, LLC, GemSeal, Inc., Go Green Industrial (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., Goldstar Asphalt Products Incorporated, GuardTop, LLC, Neyra Industries, Inc., Raynguard Protective Materials, Inc., Sealmaster, Inc., Star Seal Inc., Vance Brothers, Inc., Western Colloid S.C. Inc., Wolf Paving, LLC, among others.
Recent Industry Developments
November 2022: Solvay introduced Reactsurf 2490, a polymerizable surfactant for acrylic, vinyl-acrylic, and styrene-acrylic latex systems. It improves emulsion performance in exterior coatings and pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) compared to conventional surfactants, even at high temperatures. Reactsurf 2490 is also used in paint binders, adhesives & sealants, textile & nonwoven binders, paper coatings, and building & construction applications.
