Increasing Demand From Manufacturing Industries and Rising Applications for Industrial Activities Are Driving the Engineering Adhesives Market Growth.

Engineering adhesives market size is forecast to reach US$16.5 billion by 2027, after growing at a CAGR of 5.3% during 2022-2027. Engineering adhesives mostly comprises of acrylics, urethanes, and epoxy resin. Engineering adhesives as a substitution for traditional joining methods such as fasteners and welding are used to join materials, with the help of adhesion promoters, such as steel, engineering plastics, elastomeric material, composites, and aluminum. Factors such as exceptional bonding strength, durability, and high-temperature resistance, make engineering adhesives suitable for construction and automotive applications. Non-metal substrates are widely used in the construction industry due to their lightweight and low cost and are expected to drive the engineering adhesives market in the forecast period. Also, increasing demand from manufacturing industries and rising applications for industrial activities are driving the engineering adhesives market growth.

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 outbreak widely affected the engineering adhesives market over the year 2020. Owing to the nationwide lockdown, the production process of various goods in the end-use industry declined due to the non-functioning of the manufacturing plants. The domestic sales and export of different raw materials have also witnessed a halt during the COVID-19 outbreak. Economies of each sector got affected and resulted in stagnation of activities across the industries that uses engineering adhesives. For instance, according to Eurostat, In April 2021, construction production decreased by 1.6% in the E.U. compared with March 2021; in the euro area, the decrease amounted to 2.2%. Additionally, after an unprecedented decline in March and April (-25.4%), construction in the E.U. region increased dynamically in May 2020 (21.6%) but has since stagnated. Thus, once the building and construction, and transportation activities get back on track and start functioning with total capacity, the market for engineering adhesives is estimated to incline in the upcoming years.

Engineering Adhesives Market Segment Analysis – By Type

Epoxy held the largest share in the engineering adhesives market in 2021. Epoxy is the major type of engineering adhesive used in various applications such as metal, glass, and plastics. Epoxy resin can be forged as a flexible, high optical transparent, and fast or slow setting. Also, it has a high-performance bonding strength. As compared to other adhesives, epoxy resin provides better heat and chemical resistance properties. Generally, epoxy resin cured with heat will be more heat- and chemical-resistant in comparison to other common adhesives, cured at room temperature. Some epoxies are also known to be cured by exposure to UV light. Since these coatings provide extra-ordinary resistance to heat, corrosive chemicals, and UV light, as compared to polyurethane, it is widely being preferred by industrial finishers as epoxy surface coatings. Thus, increasing demand for epoxy over other engineering adhesives types due to its alluring properties would drive the market growth in the forecast period.

Engineering Adhesives Market Segment Analysis – By Substrate

Concrete substrate held the largest share in the engineering adhesives market in 2021. Engineering adhesives such as epoxy resin, silicone, polyurethane, and others are used over concrete substrates as floor coatings, due to their impact resistance, hardness, and durable properties. An epoxy floor coatings adhere to the concrete floors by adhesion promoter, better than any conventional enamel, oil-based, or water paint. Industrial facilities, logistic centers, warehouses, and other areas coming under applications of heavy-duty make use of commercial epoxy coatings due to their ideal properties. Since the building and construction activities are booming rapidly with industrial flooring as the major application in it, the demand for engineering adhesives on the concrete substrate is also set to rise. For instance, according to Invest India, by 2025, the building and construction industry is expected to reach US$ 1.4 trillion. Also, the Indian construction industry increased its growth by 5.6% during 2016-20, compared to 2.9% during 2011-15. Thus, increased usage of engineering adhesives on the concrete substrate will drive the growth of the market in the forecast period.

Engineering Adhesives Market Drivers

Increasing Demand for Engineering Adhesives in Transportation Industry

Engineering adhesives in the transportation industry provide great advantages in preventing rust and corrosion on vehicle body parts. It is also used for assembling vehicle components and adhesive products, replacing fasteners. It involves applying a primer to metal parts that are anti-corrosive and are made up of a thin epoxy-based coating. Additionally, engineering adhesive bonding reduces steps in the manufacturing processes, and hence, resulting in reduced cost. The rising production of automotive in recent years have uplifted the growth of the industry. For instance, according to Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d’Automobiles (OICA), in Austria, motor vehicle production increased from 1,64,900 units in 2018 to 1,79,400 units in the year 2019. Similarly, in Vietnam, the production of motor vehicles increased from 2,37,000 units in 2018 to 2,50,000 units in the year 2019. Furthermore, with formulations availability, concrete, and steel marine structures are protected by engineering adhesives, to adhere to wet substrates with the use of adhesion promoters, such as coating water tanks, outfall structures, fish ladders, and dams. Engineering adhesives in the marine industry is suitable for application in shipbuilding, maintenance, and repair. The increasing investments in the marine industry projects by the government will also drive the market for engineering adhesives. For instance, according to the Indian Brand Equity Foundation, in Maritime India Summit 2021, the Ministry of Ports, Shipping, and Waterways identified a total of 400 projects worth Rs. 2.25 lakh crore (US$ 31 billion) investment. With the increasing production of automobiles and increasing investments in the marine industry projects by the government, it is estimated that in the upcoming years the requirement for engineering adhesives in the transportation industry will rise and eventually boos the market growth.

Rising Demand for Bio-Based Adhesives Will Drive the Market Growth

Due to environmental awareness, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emissions in adhesives have become a subject of concern. Regulatory authorities, such as EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals), are giving a push to limit the use of solvent-borne adhesives to decline the impact on the environment. The industry has thus, shifted its focus towards the expansion of bio-based adhesives to engineer eco-friendly adhesives, based on organic starch, vegetable oils, water, and soya, manufacturers are increasingly investing in manufacturing and product development programs. For instance, in 2020, Toyochem Co., Ltd. developed a new series of biodegradable pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs). The newly developed product is suitable for materials used in packaging, building, agriculture, and other industries where biodegradable or recoverable materials are preferred. Therefore, the rising demand for bio-based adhesives is expected to drive the growth of the engineering adhesives market.
