One of the major growth drivers for Silanes is the booming construction and infrastructure market, especially in emerging economies. The demand for paints, coatings, adhesives, sealants and composites rises in tandem with urbanisation and industrialisation. 
Silanes enhance coatings by improving adhesion to challenging substrates, increasing moisture resistance and extending lifetime. As buildings, industrial plants and transport infrastructure require more durable finishes and lower maintenance, the role of silanes expands—driving both volume and specification demand in the silanes market.
