Weatherstrip Seal Market Report Overview

The global weatherstrip seal market size was valued at USD 9.46 billion in 2023 and is projected to touch USD 12.65 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 3.3% during the forecast period. Asia-Pacific holds leading position in weatherstrip seal market share in 2023.

The process of sealing openings of windows, trunks, and doors from above water is called a weatherstrip seal. The term can be used for the material used for carrying out such sealing processes. This process is done to prevent the water and rain from entering partially or entirely and accomplishes it by rerouting or returning the water. Another goal of it is to keep the interior air intact and save energy on air conditioning and heating. It is used in automobiles and can be easily found in the interior compartment, which should be sealed from the external environment.

The weatherstrip seal functions the same way in vehicles, even when at full speed or parked. It is compatible with enduring extreme temperatures of cold and hot, accommodating motion vibration, resisting more prolonged sun exposure, and resisting automotive liquids such as gasoline, windshield washer fluid, or oil. It also plays a significant role in maintaining the quality of the ride in the vehicle as it is partially responsible for sealing the noise out of the compartment. It is used in automobiles to avoid water getting inside the vehicle while going over bumps.

COVID-19 Impact: Supply Chain disruption backed by lockdown retarded growth

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with Rochelle salt experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The auto beauty industry was extraordinary during the pandemic epidemic, which rarely benefits any markets. Market expansion was limited by the unanticipated pandemic outbreak. The suspension of transportation and the market caused a major decline in the automotive sector. The market closure had an impact on the automotive industry’s anticipated sales growth. Because people were forbidden from going outside, fewer people travelled by car, which decreased the need for automotive beauty products. Since the production sectors were shut down due to the pandemic, there was a decrease in both the demand for the product and its supply.
