Key Market Trends
Building and Construction Segment Dominates the Market
- Among end-user industries, building and construction segment dominates the consumption of PU adhesives in the region.
- PU adhesives have rapid curing and low strength properties, making it an excellent choice for woodworking and other construction applications. They provide high strength required to hold construction materials together.
- Besides, this material is versatile, when it comes to product assembly adhesives. It suits plastics, glass, PVFs, aluminum, stainless steel, and other metals, regardless of the toughness of bond substrates.
- Hot-melt technology excels, when it comes to window sealants, gaskets, fabrics, and light metal applications. The ease of use and quick curing time of PU hot-melt adhesives have led to increased application for flooring, counter tops, and shower walls.
- In Asia-Pacific, countries, such as China, India, Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand have been registering robust growth in construction activities, and this trend is likely to continue in the near future, which is likely to propel the consumption of PU adhesives in the region.
