There is a shift in the manufacturing processes in the aircraft and automotive industry as heavy materials are replaced by plastics, leading to a growth in the adhesive market. The switch from traditional materials to plastics helps in the reduction of vibration damping and weight, and improves the surface appearance, which further boosts the growth of specialty adhesives. Styrene butadiene rubber adhesives and latex sealants are the fastest growing types of adhesives and sealants. Adhesives and sealants are widely used in industrial and commercial applications.
There was a decline in the global growth rate of adhesives and sealants during the economic slowdown of 2008-2009, but the market witnessed a gradual increase from 2010 in terms of volume and value of sales. The key end-use industries are automotive, electronics, packaging, footwear, and construction. Some of the end-use industries which are driving the adhesive and sealant market are packaging, construction, and transportation. About 80% of market share is dominated by adhesives and the remaining by sealants in terms of volume, value of sales, and product innovation.
Some of the key driving forces for specialty adhesives and sealants market are product differentiation and new applications.
