Water or any other type of solvent is not required for this application. In addition, prominent demand for automotive interior trim assembly, safety labels for power equipment, pressure sensitive tapes, and sound or vibration damping films anticipated to propel the growth of the segment.

Moreover, the automotive adhesives market predicted to register the highest growth over the forecast period. Recent technological advancements in adhesive and sealants have helped to reduce the frequency of spot welding by almost 50% that has helped notably in reducing the overall weight of vehicles. In addition, stringent regulations in the U.S. for improved fuel efficiency have prompted leading manufacturers in the automotive industry to reduce the weight of automobiles thus prospering the demand of automotive adhesives and sealants. Further, an escalating growth of the automobile industry particularly in the BRIC nations expected to foster the growth of the segment over the analysis period.

Regional Insights

Based on region, the Asia Pacific adhesives market anticipated to register the highest growth over the forthcoming years. Rapid industrialization, rise in manufacturing output, and strong GDP growth projected to boost the growth of the region. Besides this, supportive government policies predicted to propel the demand of adhesives in construction industry that in turn expected to support the product penetration in the region.

Moreover, the Asia Pacific region is also a front-runner in the sealants market in 2022 with India, china, and Japan as the prime countries that contribute towards the revenue growth. The flourishing manufacturing sector anticipated to fuel the sealants demand from industrial machinery, automotive, and electrical &electronics industries. In the recent past, India and China have witnessed a spike in automotive production because of technology transfer to the sector from western markets. This has enhanced the manufacturing capabilities of the sector leading to boost the overall sales of automobiles in the region.

On the other hand, Europe considered as a significant market for adhesives because of a hub of large number of automobile manufacturers in the region. Adhesives have large application in the automotive industry that include friction, metal/composites bonding, glass, headlight assembly, exterior trims, interiors, body sealing, electrical motors & components, and noise vibration harshness. In terms of sealants, North America examined as the largest market with a revenue share of nearly 23%. This is attributed to the significant presence of end-use industries along with increased spending in the construction sector.

Key Companies & Market Share Insights

The global adhesives and sealants industry is highly fragmented and competitive in nature with more than 65% of share occupied by small and medium enterprises. However, the market expected to enter into consolidation because of various strategic initiatives adopted by the market players such as acquisition to acquire the maximum regional markets. For instance, H.B.Fuller agrees to acquire a Brazilian adhesives and sealant company, Plexbond Quimica SA, to grow its business in South America.
