Driving Factors

Developing countries are experiencing an increase in disposable income and urbanization, which drives demand for automobile ownership. To enhance fuel efficiency, major automakers globally are working to lower vehicle weight. To do this, they are using automotive adhesives and sealants instead of heavier metal frames and joinery components, such as weld joints. Furthermore, the growing demand for autonomous EVs has created exciting market growth opportunities. Automated electric vehicles are both driverless and robotic. It comes with self-driving capabilities that are useful in smart cities. Many nations are locating the use of self-driving automobiles. These vehicles are regarded as being the most dependable and cost-effective modes of transportation. Automated electric vehicles' advanced driver assistance systems provide numerous functions. Modern radar, cameras, and sensors are among the vehicle's most important components. The current adoption rate for these vehicles is 20%. However, the acceptance rate is expected to increase dramatically in the next few years. Automated vehicles require a variety of adhesives.

 

Restraining Factors

Conflict over politics in raw material-supplying nations is expected to cause significant fluctuation in raw material pricing over the next years, limiting automotive adhesive shipments. However, the enforcement of tight VOC emission standards and laws governing the use of harmful compounds is projected to face long-term obstacles to global automotive adhesive market expansion.  

 

Market Segmentation

The global automotive adhesive market share is classified into adhesive type, technology, and application.

 

  • The structural segment is expected to grow at the fastest pace in the global automotive adhesive market during the forecast period.  

Based on adhesive type, the global automotive adhesive market is divided into threadlocks & retainers, structural, tapes & films, and liquid gaskets. Among these, the structural segment is expected to grow at the fastest pace in the global automotive adhesive market during the forecast period. The increasing usage of carbon fiber to construct the core structural body of automobiles is also expected to boost the sale of structural car adhesives and auto body glue over the forecast period. Furthermore, the increasing use of plastics and composite materials in car manufacture to reduce weight and deal with tight emission standards globally is expected to boost demand for auto adhesives in the future.  

 

  • The hot-melt segment is expected to grow at the fastest pace in the global automotive adhesive market during the forecast period.   

Based on the technology, the global automotive adhesive market is divided into solvent-based, hot-melt, and water-based. Among these, the hot-melt segment is expected to grow at the fastest pace in the global automotive adhesive market during the forecast period. Hot-melt adhesives' (HMAs) growing popularity is driving market growth because it offers a long shelf life, which reduces storage and maintenance costs. Hot melts settle quickly and, when cooled, convert into beads. HMAs are a broad range of thermoplastic adhesives that are adaptable in binding to substrates and are used in a variety of automotive applications. They are used for automobile bonding of many substrate types such as metal, leather, glass, plastics, foam, and rubber.

 

  • The body-in-white segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global automotive adhesive market during the forecast period.  

Based on application, the global automotive adhesive market is divided into powertrain, paint shop, body-in-white, assembly, and others. Among these, the body-in-white segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global automotive adhesive market during the forecast period. Automotive adhesives outperform traditional welding procedures in terms of anti-corrosion properties, structural strength, and lightweight. Furthermore, employing adhesives in Body-in-White applications increases productivity and reduces expenses. As aconsequence, the need for Body-in-White adhesives is expected to increase significantly over the forecast period.
