Adoption of sustainability in the automotive industry to create upswings for the market growth

  • In the North American automotive adhesives and sealants market, polyurethane resins cover the largest share. The usage of polyurethane adhesive in North America is higher than other resins. The main reason behind this factor is that the region includes production facilities to a large extent. From 2017 to 2019, the consumption growth rate reduced steadily and recorded about -3%, and this is due to the reduction in automotive production. After the pandemic, consumption leads to a growth of 3%. Polyurethane adhesives are registering a CAGR of 3.1% between 2022 to 2028.
  • On the other hand, epoxy and acrylic adhesives also show their great presence in the automotive adhesives market. However, for epoxy, the upcoming year could be a great challenge as the raw materials used to produce epoxy adhesives are hazardous in nature and, thus, are getting regulated by the US government. Epoxy adhesive is the second largest consumed material, with a CAGR of about 3.14% from 2022 to 2028. Epoxy adhesives are followed by acrylic adhesives, which register a CAGR of about 3.01% between 2022 to 2028.
  • Adhesives, such as cyanoacrylate and silicone sealants, are on a booming trend. The adoption of sustainability in the automotive industry is getting increased widely, and EV production is increasing to a large extent. Owing to this, the usage of these adhesives for electronic component assembly is increasing, which, as a result, may lead to increased demand in the coming years. Cyanoacrylate and silicone adhesives recorded a CAGR of above 2.5% in terms of volume during the forecast period (2022-2028).
North America Automotive Adhesives & Sealants Market

Growing trend of 'bonding instead of welding' to significantly contribute to the demand for automotive adhesives

  • The North American automotive adhesives and sealants market is dominated by the United States due to the huge automotive production capacity of the country. The United States ranks 2nd globally in automotive production, with 9.17 million produced in 2021, whereas Mexico produced 3.1 million units and Canada produced 1.1 million units.
  • The growing trend of 'bonding instead of welding' has significantly contributed to the demand generated for automotive adhesives and sealants in the region. As automakers are always innovating to make vehicles lighter to save fuel and reduce CO2 emissions, usage of adhesives for plastic roofs, bumpers, or crash-relevant parts - bonded joints became an effective alternative to traditional joining procedures, such as screws, rivets, or welding.
  • Polyurethane-based adhesives and sealants are most commonly used in the automotive industry in the North American region occupying a share of 26.3% in 2021 due to their flexibility, like wide operating temperature range, heat cured and moisture cured, and paintability. Epoxy adhesives and sealants are the second most commonly used among other resin types, with a share of 21.5% in 2021 because of the stronger metal-to-metal bonding property.
  • In 2028, the share of acrylic adhesives in the North American region is expected to grow up to 20% from 16% in 2021 due to their ability to bind to plastic and composite materials to lighten the weight of vehicles and applicability in battery assembly operations.

North America Automotive Adhesives & Sealants Market Trends

Government initiatives for electric vehicles to support the automotive production

  • North American automotive is one of the prominent sectors which helps to generate above 3% of its economy. Among all the 3 countries, the United States is the largest automotive producer, covering more than 65% of shares, followed by Mexico with 23% of shares and Canada with 8% of shares.  
  • Vehicle sales in the region have majorly declined its overall production, owing to which the utilization of adhesives is impacted. In 2017-18 and 2018-19, the variation change has been recorded from -0.2% to -3.7%. Moreover, in 2019-20, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, regional production has been largely impacted. The shutdown of manufacturing facilities and the shortage of vehicle components due to disruption in the supply chain tend to constrain the production level. In terms of variation, the region has recorded about a 20% decline. However, in 2021, the demand for automotive is rising, which, on the other hand, may increase the utilization of adhesives across the region.
  • The EV market in North America is another opportunity for adhesives to grow. The rising production and adoption of EVs and Hybrid vehicles tend to raise the usage of adhesives for electronic component assembly in the vehicles. The United States is one of the largest producers of EVs globally as well as across the region. The federal government's goal in the United States is for EVs to account for 50% of new passenger vehicles and light truck sales by 2030. Simultaneously, a number of particular states have announced more aggressive targets. These factors tend to increase the demand for adhesives and will result in better growth in the forecast period.

Keyword Definition
Hot-melt Adhesive Hot melt adhesives are generally 100% solid formulations, based on thermoplastic polymers. They are solid at room temperature and are activated upon heating above their softening point, at which stage they are liquid, and hence, can be processed.
Reactive Adhesive A reactive adhesive is made up of monomers that react in the adhesive curing process and do not evaporate from the film during use. Instead, these volatile components become chemically incorporated into the adhesive.
Solvent-borne Adhesive Solvent-borne adhesives are mixtures of solvents and thermoplastic, or slightly cross-linked polymers, such as polychloroprene, polyurethane, acrylic, silicone, and natural and synthetic rubbers (elastomers).
Water-borne Adhesive Water-borne adhesives use water as a carrier or diluting medium to disperse a resin. They are set by allowing the water to evaporate or be absorbed by the substrate. These adhesives are compounded with water as a diluent, rather than a volatile organic solvent.
UV Cured Adhesive UV curing adhesives induce curing and create a permanent bond without heating by using ultraviolet (UV) light or other radiation sources. An aggregation of monomers and oligomers is cured or polymerized by ultraviolet (UV) or visible light in a UV adhesive. Because UV is a radiating energy source, UV adhesives are often referred to as radiation curing or rad-cure adhesives.
Heat-resistant Adhesive Heat-resistant Adhesives refer to those that do not break down under high temperatures. One aspect of a complicated system of circumstances is the adhesive's capacity to withstand disintegration brought on by high temperatures. As the temperature rises, adhesives may liquefy. They can withstand stresses resulting from differing coefficients of expansion and contraction, which might be an additional advantage.
Reshoring Reshoring is the practice of moving commodity production and manufacturing back to the nation where the business was founded. Onshoring, inshoring, and back shoring are further terms used. Offshoring, the practice of producing items abroad to lower labor and manufacturing costs, is the opposite of this.
Oleochemicals Oleochemicals are compounds produced from biological oils or fats. They resemble petrochemicals, which are substances made from petroleum. The oleochemical business is built on the hydrolysis of oils or fats.
Nonporous Materials Nonporous materials are substances that do not permit the passage of liquid or air. Nonporous materials are those that are not porous, such as glass, plastic, metal, and varnished wood. Since no air can get through, less airflow is required to raise these materials, negating the requirement for high airflow.
EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement A trade agreement and an investment protection agreement were concluded between the European Union and Vietnam on June 30, 2019.
VOC content Compounds with limited solubility in water and high vapor pressure are known as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Many VOCs are human-made chemicals that are used and produced in the manufacture of paints, pharmaceuticals, and refrigerants.
Emulsion Polymerization Emulsion polymerization is a method of producing polymers or connected groups of smaller chemical chains known as monomers, in a water solution. The method is often used to make water-based paints, adhesives, and varnishes, in which the water stays with the polymer and is marketed as a liquid product.
2025 National Packaging Targets In 2018, the Australian Environment Ministry set the following 2025 National Packaging Targets: 100% of the packaging must be reusable, recyclable, or compostable by 2025, 70% of plastic packaging must be recycled or composted by 2025, 50% of average recycled content must be included in packaging by 2025, and problematic and unnecessary single-use plastic packaging must be phased out by 2025.
Russian Government’s Import Substitution Policy The Western sanctions suspended the distribution of several high-tech items to Russia, including those required by the raw material export sectors and the military-industrial complex. In response, the government launched an "import substitution" scheme, appointing a special commission to oversee its implementation in early 2015.
Paper Substrate Paper substrates are paper sheets, reels, or boards with a base weight of up to 400 g/m2 that has not been converted, printed or otherwise altered.
Insulation Material A material that inhibits or blocks heat, sound, or electrical transmission is known as Insulation Material. The variety of insulation materials includes thick fibers like fiberglass, rock and slag wool, cellulose, and natural fibers as well as stiff foam boards and sleek foils.
Thermal Shock A temperature change known as thermal shock generates stress in a material. It commonly results in material breakdown and is especially prevalent in brittle materials like ceramics. When there is a quick temperature change, either from hot to cold or vice versa, this process occurs abruptly. It occurs more frequently in materials with poor heat conductivity and insufficient structural integrity.
