Increasing application scope in packaging, construction and automobile industries should drive adhesives and sealants market size. Technological development with extensive application of these products, should positively influence the industry growth.
 

Construction and automobile industries are major consumers of adhesives and sealants with majority of the demand witnessed from BRICS economies. In 2013, the construction spending in China and India was about USD 1.6 trillion and USD 425 billion respectively.  
 

Adhesives are applied in panels, partition and insulation whereas sealants are used in facades and fire protection applications. Strong trend towards growth in infrastructure spending due to increased population and rapid industrialization, should favor the growth of adhesives & sealants market size..
 

Positive outlook towards growth in vehicle sales with strong implementation of regulations to reduce automotive weight, should boost adhesives & sealants market size. They are used in panel laminating application in vehicle industry. In 2015, automotive production was over 90 million units and is estimated to surpass 110 million by 2022. Passenger car on an average use approximately of 15 to 18 kg of sealing products and glues used for replacing mechanical fasteners. Technology innovation has resulted to decrease spot welding process up to 50% which helps in reducing automobile weight.
 

Major raw materials used for manufacturing adhesives & sealants are derived from synthetic fibers, crude oil and resins. Stringent government norms to reduce carbon emission during production process may hinder product demand. This has resulted, the industry participants to invest in research to develop bio-based alternatives. Soybean polyols and vegetable oils are used as raw materials in production of biobased products.
 

Biobased adhesives market holds for about 2% overall demand and expects significant growth rate. Major industry players in biobased production includes, BASF, ADCO, Henkel, Dow, Evonik, Croda, Cargill and Dupont.

Adhesives and Sealants Industry Viewpoint


Adhesives and sealants are versatile products, which are used in most industrial sectors from non-rigid bonding in flexible packaging and textile to structural applications, where it is designed to offer high bonding strength. Sealants are thick, non-pourable materials and vary from adhesives in their primary role of filling gaps between surfaces in order to prevent passage of water, air and chemicals. In sealants industry, a larger proportion of manufacturers have backward integration, mainly in case of Dow Corning and Momentive in silicone sealants and polymer
