Market Trends of asia-pacific epoxy adhesive Industry
Increasing adoption of electric vehicles to drive the industry
- The Asia-Pacific automotive industry is one of the leading industries in the market, as the sales of automotive vehicles are largely increasing. Among all the countries, China is the largest automotive producer, accounting for about 57% of the regional production, followed by Japan with 17%, India with 10%, and South Korea with 8%.
- Vehicle sales in the region have majorly declined along with production, owing to which the utilization of adhesives has been impacted. While the Y-o-Y variation in 2017-18 was -1.8%, it fell further by -6.4% in 2018-19. In 2019-20, regional production was again impacted negatively and recorded a -10.2% decline from the previous year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The shutdown of manufacturing facilities and the shortage of vehicle components due to disruptions in the supply chain constrained the production level. However, in 2021, the demand for automobiles rose again and is expected to continue, thereby increasing the utilization of adhesives across the region over the forecast period.
- The EV market in Asia-Pacific offers another opportunity for the adhesives market to grow. The rising production and adoption of EVs and hybrid vehicles are boosting the usage of adhesives for electronic component assembly in vehicles. China is the largest producer of EVs globally as well as across the region. From 2016 to 2021, the volume of commercial electric vehicles increased from 562,603 to 1,116,382 units, recording a growth rate of about 98%. These factors are expected to increase the demand for adhesives and result in the higher market growth over the forecast period.

Raising investment to expand infrastructural activities will augment the industry size
- Asia-Pacific is driven by the world's major economies, such as China, Japan, and India. China is promoting and undergoing a process of continuous urbanization, with a target rate of 70% for 2030. The increased living spaces required in the urban areas resulting from increasing urbanization and the desire of middle-income urban residents to improve their living conditions may impact the housing market and, thereby, increase the residential constructions in the country.
- Non-residential infrastructure is likely to expand significantly. The Chinese government approved 26 infrastructure projects worth approximately USD 142 billion in 2019, with completion due in 2023. The country has the largest construction market globally, accounting for 20% of all worldwide construction investments. By 2030, the government plans to spend over USD 13 trillion on construction. Thus, the construction market is expected to register a 4.48% CAGR during the forecast period (2022-2028).
- The construction industry is one of the largest industries in Asia-Pacific and recorded promising growth in 2019. The industry continues to grow as the region constitutes many developing countries such as Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and other South Asian countries. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the construction sector witnessed a significant decline owing to lockdowns by governments across the region, which severely affected developing countries, including India, China, Japan, and ASEAN countries.
- The Asia-Pacific region is also witnessing significant interest from international investors in the construction space. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the construction development sector is increasing as developing countries provide better returns and opportunities for investors.
