Mastics, fillers and surfacing preparations market in Denmark

Earlier Report Observations

The market for mastics, fillers and surfacing preparations in Denmark grew in volume to 69.9 thousand tons in 2020 from 60.7 thousand tons in 2018. This expansion was driven by increasing consumer demand for eco-labeled construction products like paint and putty, supported by a rise in domestic material use per capita indicating broader construction sector growth, and reinforced by a focus on sustainability and recycling in building materials.

In 2021, market volume fell to 58.9 thousand tons but value jumped to 136.5 million USD, largely due to an 11% increase in turnover for green goods and services where higher prices played a role. By 2022, both volume and value declined further to 52.5 thousand tons and 110.9 million USD respectively, even as overall material consumption in Danish construction remained high.

The contraction continued in 2023 with volume dropping to 47.6 thousand tons while value stabilized near 110.6 million USD. A modest recovery occurred in 2024 as volume rose to 49.5 thousand tons and value increased to 118.7 million USD.
