MARKET ANALYSIS

Adhesives are used to form a tight bond between two surfaces, whereas sealants are used to fill or seal gaps to restrict the movement of fluids. Adhesives and sealants have major applications in construction, automotive, aerospace, paper & packaging, woodwork, and electrical & electronics industries. Epoxy adhesives have high tensile strength and effectively bond with metals. Epoxy and acrylic adhesives also find application in glass surface adhesion but do not offer good aesthetics. Sealants are available in several types according to the specific application, of which silicone sealant, urethane sealant, and acrylic sealant are widely used.

GROWTH DRIVERS AND CHALLENGES

Strong growth of construction and automotive industries, and increasing demand for adhesives and sealants from the paper and packaging industry are the factors driving the adhesives and sealants market. Infrastructure advancement comprises projects related to roads, ports, railways, airports, and industrial infrastructure. Rising construction activities in many countries, including the US, China, India, and Saudi Arabia, create lucrative opportunities for the adhesives and sealants market during the forecast period. As per a report published by the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association, motor vehicle production rose by 1.3% globally from 2020 to 2021; a total of 79.1 million motor vehicles, including 61.6 million passenger cars, were produced globally in 2021. According to a report by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, China is one of the dominant markets for producing passenger cars and commercial vehicles. In the automotive industry, adhesives and sealants provide solutions for bonding interior or exterior car components. Hence, the strong growth of the automotive industry in various countries across the world bolsters the demand for adhesives and sealants. Rising consumer preference for packaged food products is creating demand for high-quality food packaging products that can keep food fresh for a longer period. Further, online retail has been growing consistently in recent years. The e-commerce industry has been growing in many countries, which is positively impacting the demand for different packaging products. Volatility in prices of raw materials used in adhesives and sealants manufacturing pose a challenge to the adhesives and sealants market.  The rise in crude oil prices due to fluctuating global economic conditions is further boosting the price of petroleum resins. In 2022, DIC Corporation reported revised sales prices of epoxy resins and epoxy resin curing agents due to an increase in raw material prices and supply–demand gap. The rise in raw material prices leads to a strain on product profitability and margins. Thus, fluctuation in the prices of raw materials restrains the adhesives and sealants market growth.
