MS polymer, also known as modified silicone, represents a category of adhesive and sealant technology utilizing a silyl-functionalized polymer as its primary component. These polymers possess a distinctive molecular structure enabling them to crosslink with moisture present in the air. This interaction results in the formation of a robust and long-lasting bond with diverse substrates.
The main types of MS polymers are SMP (Silyl Modified polyether) and SPUR (Silyl Terminated Polyurethanes), which are used for several applications, including adhesives, sealants, and coatings. These are used in several end-use industries, including building, construction, automotive, transportation, industrial assembly, and electronics.
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 have impacted the MS polymers market by increasing costs of imported silane raw materials and specialty additives. These effects have been most visible in construction, automotive, and industrial assembly applications across Europe and Asia Pacific. Higher material costs have influenced pricing and margins for manufacturers. At the same time, tariffs have encouraged local production of modified polymers. This has strengthened regional supply chains and reduced import dependence.
The ms polymers market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides ms polymers market statistics, including ms polymers industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a ms polymers market share, detailed ms polymers market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the ms polymers industry. This ms polymers 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 ms polymers market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.43 billion in 2025 to $5.87 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to construction sector growth, demand for flexible sealants, silicone adhesive limitations, industrial assembly needs, moisture curing technology adoption.
The ms polymers market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.87 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to green building regulations, electric vehicle production growth, lightweight material bonding demand, urban infrastructure expansion, advanced polymer development. Major trends in the forecast period include rising replacement of traditional sealants, growing demand for low voc adhesives, expansion in construction and infrastructure, increasing use in automotive assembly, growth of hybrid adhesive technologies.
The growth in electric vehicle manufacturing is anticipated to drive the expansion of the MS polymers market in the future. Electric vehicles (EVs) are powered by electric motors that draw energy from rechargeable batteries or fuel cells, rather than traditional combustion engines. Several factors contribute to the rise in EV manufacturing, including government regulations, consumer savings on fuel costs, and heightened environmental concerns. MS polymers are used for bonding and sealing various components, such as battery enclosures, body panels, and interior parts, ensuring structural integrity and protection against moisture and contaminants. For example, in January 2024, a report from Kelley Blue Book, a US-based Cox Automotive company, indicated that in 2023, a record 1.2 million car buyers in the United States opted for electric vehicles, representing 7.6% of the total U.S. vehicle market, an increase from 5.9% in 2022. Thus, the rise in electric vehicle manufacturing is driving demand in the MS polymer market.
Companies are focusing on novel product development, exemplified by innovations like two-part MS polymer adhesives. In June 2023, SABA Adhesives & Sealants introduced Sabatack 950 Boost, a single-sausage adhesive eliminating separate mixing. This time-saving adhesive with precise mixing ratios boasts resistance to moisture, UV rays, and chemicals, ensuring durable bonding across diverse materials like wood, concrete, metal, and plastics.
In October 2025, Henkel Adhesive Technologies, an India-based manufacturer of MS polymer-based adhesives, partnered with Dow Inc. to advance decarbonization across its adhesive manufacturing technologies. Through this collaboration, Henkel will incorporate low-carbon feedstocks and renewable electricity into its hot-melt adhesive production processes, targeting a 20-40% reduction in product carbon footprints, depending on the specific product line. Dow Inc. is a US-based chemicals company.
