According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “World Adhesives & Sealants Market: Opportunities and Forecasts, 2015–2022,” the adhesives & sealants market is expected to reach $66,876 million by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 3.7% from 2016 to 2022. Water-based adhesives segment held about 40% share of the global adhesives market in 2015, owing to its viability as an alternative choice to conventional solvent-based adhesive products.
Factors driving the overall adhesives & sealants market are increasing automobile production and surging demand for packaging material. The automotive industry is gradually replacing welding activities of engine parts assembly with adhesives & sealants products to reduce the vehicle weight, which in turn increases fuel efficiency. Strong growth in infrastructure activity is also expected to drive the growth of adhesives & sealants market. Rapid urbanization and population growth in developing countries combined with rebounding construction activities in developed markets of Europe and the U.S. is fueling the demand for adhesives & sealants products. Stringent regulations on volatile organic chemical (VOC) emission is likely to restrain the market, as solvent-based adhesives (vinyl acetate, resins, rubber and others) have the tendency to react with nitrogen oxides present in the atmosphere to form ozone, which poses a health threat by causing respiratory problems. The increasing popularity of environment-friendly adhesives over traditional solvent-based and water-based adhesives acts as an opportunity for the market growth.
Water-based adhesives segment is expected to continue its lead throughout the analysis period. This is owing to inkling of major end-user industries namely packaging and construction toward water-based adhesive products; as solvent-based adhesive products are highly prone to volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. Other factors attributing to its growth are its user-friendly nature and safety in the working environment. Water-based adhesives are free of toxic elements and hazardous organic elements, thus fulfilling the regulations. In the year 2015, the silicone-based sealants segment occupied more than 40% of the world Sealants market revenue due to compatibility, strength, stability, and durability. Compatibility of silicone sealants in construction applications has made it the most commendable type in the market.
