Construction elastomers, synthetic polymers with elastic properties, play a crucial role in the building industry. These rubbery materials, composed of lengthy chainlike molecules or polymers, can be stretched over considerable distances and still return to their original shape. Combining the advantages of plastics and rubber, construction elastomers find applications in various construction scenarios. Their robust impact and tear resistance make them valuable in roofing sheets, window profiles, building insulation, adhesives, gaskets, and door handle seals.
The primary types of construction elastomers are thermoset and thermoplastic. Thermosets consist of elastomeric materials that do not melt when heated. In the building and construction sector, thermoset elastomers are utilized in applications such as adhesives and sealants, thermal insulation, roofing, flooring, piping, bridge structures, cementing, and the repair and rehabilitation of civil structures. Various types of chemistry, including styrene block copolymers (SBC), thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU), styrene-butadiene (SBR), ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), natural rubber, acrylic elastomers (ACM), butyl elastomers (IIR), and others, cater to different applications in residential, non-residential, and civil engineering contexts.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs are influencing the construction elastomers market by increasing costs of imported polymers, chemical feedstocks, processing additives, and specialty compounds. Construction markets in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported raw materials, while Asia-Pacific faces higher costs for export-oriented elastomer production. These tariffs are raising material prices and impacting construction budgets. However, they are also encouraging domestic polymer production, regional supply chain development, and innovation in alternative elastomer formulations.

This construction elastomers market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The construction elastomers market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.72 billion in 2025 to $7.35 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of commercial and residential construction, increasing use of elastomers in insulation systems, rising infrastructure maintenance activities, availability of advanced polymer technologies, expansion of urban development projects.
The construction elastomers market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.37 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing focus on sustainable construction materials, rising adoption of high-durability elastomers, expansion of climate-resilient infrastructure, growing demand for lightweight construction components, increasing investments in smart buildings. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing use of elastomers in energy-efficient buildings, rising adoption of high-performance roofing materials, growing demand for flexible sealing solutions, expansion of infrastructure rehabilitation projects, enhanced focus on weather-resistant construction materials.
The increase in demand for sustainable buildings is expected to propel the growth of the construction elastomer market going forward. Sustainable buildings refer to structures designed and constructed to minimize environmental impact by efficiently using energy, water, and materials while promoting occupant health and long-term resource conservation. An increase in demand for sustainable buildings is primarily due to growing environmental concerns, as people and governments seek construction practices that reduce energy use, lower carbon emissions, and minimize environmental impact. Sustainable construction supports sustainable buildings by using eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient methods, and low-impact practices that reduce environmental harm throughout a building's lifecycle. For instance, in July 2024, according to the U.S. Green Building Council, a US-based non-profit organization, in 2024, they contributed to more than 46,000 residential projects certified under the LEED green building rating system, following a nearly 5% increase in new LEED residential project registrations in 2023. Therefore, the growing focus on sustainable construction is driving the demand for construction elastomers.
Major companies operating in the construction elastomer market are focusing on developing innovative products such as high-performance waterproofing systems to enhance strength, flexibility, and longevity. High-performance waterproofing systems are advanced materials or coatings designed to prevent water penetration and protect structures from leaks, moisture damage, and corrosion over long periods. For instance, in March 2023, Pearl Polyurethane Systems LLC, a UAE-based chemical systems company, launched the DuraPearl Elastomer System, a next-generation polyurea-based spray coating designed to address limitations of traditional epoxy and membrane coatings. DuraPearl Elastomer System offers up to four times greater strength and approximately 98% higher flexibility than epoxy, along with curing times up to six times faster, ensuring faster project completion. It provides strong adhesion to diverse substrates such as concrete, steel, wood, and asphalt, high chemical and temperature resistance, low VOC emissions, and first-coat full coverage, making it ideal for waterproofing, flooring, pipeline coatings, tank linings, and other demanding spray-coating applications.
In August 2023, Ravago Group, a Belgium-based polymer and chemical distribution company, acquired a controlling interest in M. Holland Company for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Ravago Group aims to enhance global thermoplastic resin distribution capabilities and accelerate the expansion of innovative material solutions for industrial applications. M. Holland Company LLC is a US-based company that provides construction elastomers, specifically thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) and thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs).
