Abstract
US demand to grow 2.8% annually through 2012
US demand for sealants and caulks is projected to grow 2.8 percent annually
through 2012 from a relatively weak 2007 base. Gains will be derived from a
recovery in certain key construction markets, particularly new residential
construction and nonbuilding markets. In addition, demand in motor vehicle
markets is expected to benefit from greater vehicle production and increasing
use of sealants and caulks on a per vehicle basis.
