Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and UAE Silicone Sealants Market Insights, By Product Type - Neutral Cure Silicone Sealants Segment Dominates the Market due to Versatility and Compatibility

Neutral cure silicone sealants segment is expected to hold 30.6% of the market share in 2025, driven by their broad applicability, superior performance characteristics, and compatibility with a wide range of substrates. These sealants cure without releasing acetic acid or other corrosive substances, making them ideal for use on sensitive materials such as concrete, metal, and painted surfaces often found in these regions’ construction and industrial sectors.

One of the major growth drivers for neutral cure sealants is their resistance to corrosion, which is particularly crucial in the Gulf’s challenging climatic conditions characterized by high temperatures, humidity, and saline environments. These harsh conditions necessitate sealants that do not degrade substrates or themselves under prolonged exposure.

Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and UAE Silicone Sealants Market Insights, By Technology - Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV) Technology Segment Dominates the Market due to Ease of Use and Broad Industrial Applicability

Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV) segment is projected to hold 54.5% of the Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and UAE silicone sealants market share in 2025, due to their flexibility in operations and the ease of the curing process, and their relevance in a wide area of application. The silicone sealants of RTV are cured at ambient temperatures by a reaction with moisture and thus no special equipment or high-temperature conditions are required and this is especially beneficial to the diverse industrial environment of the Gulf region.

The application of the RTV technology in the construction field as well as the industrial assembly industry where fast and efficient sealing and bonding is required is one of the key growth enablers of the technology. It’s on site application in mass infrastructure projects such as skyscrapers, airports, tunnels and residential complexes, which are common in these countries, is made possible by its curing at room temperature.

Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and UAE Silicone Sealants Market Insights, By End-use Industry - Building & Construction Segment Dominates the Market Fueled by Expanding Infrastructure and Urbanization

The building & construction segment holds an estimated 57.8% market share in 2025, which is driven by increasing urbanization, modernization of infrastructural development and a greater interest on architectural development. The high rates of population increase and government programs to make non-oil investments in their economies have increased considerable investment in residential, commercial, and municipal infrastructure projects that need resilient sealing solutions to make them long-lasting and energy-saving.

The key to success in this industry is silicone sealants, as a result of their high flexibility, great ability to withstand weather conditions and high adhesion to most popular substances or materials as glass, aluminum, concrete, and wood. Considering the Gulfs climate where the sun is very violent, the weather is hot and sandstorms occur intermittently, sealants should ensure integrity to ensure that facades, glazing and structural joints are not subjected to thermal expansion and environmental degradation. This characteristic underlies the popularity of silicones in building envelopes, curtain walls, and window installations, where it is needed to enable movement of these structures and also to retain their seals.

Macro and Micro-Economic Factors Impacting Market Growth

• GDP Growth & Infrastructure Spending: GDP growth in Saudi Arabia and UAE is robust, supported by oil revenue surpluses which are driving spending on mega-projects, urban development and housing which are expanding demand directly on high performance sealants.
• Geopolitical Stability in the Region: The enhanced diplomatic relationship in the GCC will minimize the trade barriers across borders, enhancing the logistics of raw materials and finished sealants imported into the region.
• Contractor & End User Preferences: Demand of high-end or specialty sealants is influenced by a high level of contractor loyalty to familiar brands and product performance specifications.
• Maturity of the Distribution Channels: Multinationals and local brands have extensive coverage through well-established trade distribution channels in UAE and Saudi, but B2C scale is inhibited by fragmented retail in Kuwait.

This acquisition strengthens the company’s presence in the Middle East and provides opportunity for expansion in the region, enhancing its capabilities in the construction chemicals sector.
• In December 2024, Wacker Chemie AG opened a new consumer Lab at its Dubai Technical Centre to support testing, application, and product development across a wide range of consumer products including silicones and sealants for the Gulf region.

Top Strategies Followed by Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and UAE Silicone Sealants Market Players

• The well-established market leaders have a high investment in their research and development (R&D) efforts to keep on innovating and releasing high- performance silicone sealant products that are of high quality which satisfy the demands of the region and international standards. This eagerness towards innovation helps them meet the challenges of the applications in the construction, automotive, and industrial sectors. Another strategic aspect that is key is global expansion whereby such companies expand their distribution channels and reach out to new markets in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region and others so that they can seize the growing trends of construction and infrastructure development.
  • For example, Dow Inc. which has heavily invested in R & D to come up with sealant that can be applied in a vast application in a wide array of applications, including the construction, automotive and industrial segments.

• The middle-level players in the Kuwaiti, Saudi Arabian, and the UAE silicone sealants markets have a different strategy, which is mainly to provide cost effective silicone sealants that offer a compromise between quality and cost. Having identified a large portion of price-sensitive customers, these firms differentiate their products to suit their budgets without affecting the performance of their products. The mid-tier manufacturers are also keen on cooperating with the technology providers and bigger companies in order to advance their production processes and formulations of their products to gain additional competitive advantage.
  • For example, Momentive Performance Materials has, to take an example, collaborated with regional manufacturers in an effort to enhance its silicone sealant formulations, especially in the construction industry to help in providing better adhesion and long life at a relatively lower cost.

• Smaller market actors in the silicone sealants industry cut a niche based on the product characteristics of the product or providing a new solution to make an impact in a saturated market. To support the changing regulations and consumer preferences, they often embrace innovative technologies, like environmentally friendly formulations or high-tech curing systems.
  • For example, Al Harithy Company has launched silicone sealants with environmentally friendly compositions that reduce the effects on the environment as per regional sustainability trends. Further, these small players are embracing new innovative technologies, including UV-curing silicone, to enhance their operations in the high-performance industries, including automotive and building.
