Expansion of Automotive Adhesive Market
Adhesives have been utilized for bonding metal sheets in vehicles for over 40 years. Increasing trend of aerodynamic bodies and flatter designs to create minimal wind resistance have led to the usage of adhesives, as opposed to conventional spot welding. Decline in the number of welding points and increased use of adhesives in structural bonding are likely to boost the global automotive adhesive market during the forecast period.
Vehicles manufactured with adhesives are more cost-effective and safe as compared to their welded counterparts. Welding, bolting, or riveting impact the rigidity of assembled parts, the use of adhesive acts as a buffer and absorbs high energy. Increased demand for safer vehicles among consumers and competition among automakers to achieve higher safety rating are driving the global automotive adhesive market.
Based on adhesive type, the structural segment held a leading share of the global automotive adhesive market in 2019. Adhesives have been widely adopted for gluing structural components and panels to lower the vehicle weight and improve stability and safety. The threadlocks & retainers segment is anticipated to expand at a high growth rate during the forecast period, as they are cost-effective and prevent corrosion, leakage, and loosening of fasteners/bolts/screws.
In terms of vehicle type, the passenger vehicle segment held a leading share of the global automotive adhesive market, owing to the higher production volume of cars and high usage of adhesives in cars to achieve interior esthetics, lightweighting, and to lower vehicle noise and vibrations.
