Asia-Pacific Adhesives and Sealants Market - Segmented by Product Type, End-User Industry and Geography - Trends and Forecasts (2017 - 2021)

The Asia-Pacific adhesives market is expected to be valued at USD XX million in 2016 and is likely to reach USD XX million by 2021, at an estimated CAGR of XX% during the forecast period, 2016-2021. The Asia-Pacific sealants market is expected to be valued at USD XX million in 2016 and is likely to reach USD XX million by 2021, growing at an estimated CAGR of XX%, during the forecast period, 2016-2021.

Adhesives and sealants are often grouped together, as they both are applied to the surfaces of materials to adhere and seal them together. They are available in liquid form, which is viscous in nature, with no or little flow characteristics. Adhesives are majorly chosen for their bonding and holding power and have high tensile and shear strength. Adhesives are two varieties - structural adhesives (strength is vital for the success of the assembly) and non-structural adhesives (have low strength and are used to bond weak substrates and for temporary fastening). However, sealants are mostly selected for their ability to resist relative movement of the substrates, fill gaps, and contain or exclude another material. They have less strength compared to adhesives, however, are more flexible in nature.

Market Dynamics

The market is driven by many factors, such as the accelerating demand from the automotive and packaging industries. However, this market faces certain drawbacks, such as the stringent environmental regulations regarding VOC emissions. These factors may act as a roadblock to the growth of the studied market.
