Market Driver

The medical sector's increasing reliance on adhesives and sealants is fueling market growth. In this field, adhesives frequently surpass the functionality of traditional fasteners. New adhesive technologies are being developed at an accelerated pace for the reusable medical device market. Devices such as disposable ECG electrodes, grounding plates, and others are manufactured using engineering resins like polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polyolefins, and metals, including aluminum, titanium, nickel, and stainless steel. Medical adhesives consist of epoxy, silicones, polysulfides, and polyurethanes, among others. For instance, Structalit 701 from Panacol-Elosol GmbH is a medical-grade adhesive for bonding surgical instruments. Similarly, Loctite 4011 from Henkel AG and Co. KGaA is a medical device instant adhesive designed for bonding challenging materials that require uniform stress distribution and shear strength. The expanding utilization of adhesives and sealants in medical devices and applications, such as medical wearables and medical electronic devices, is projected to boost the global adhesive and sealants market during the forecast period. 

The Adhesives and Sealants market is experiencing significant growth in various industries. In the Automotive sector, there is a trend towards lightweight vehicles, leading to increased demand for high-performance adhesives like Epoxy and Acrylic. In Building and Construction, materials like Drywalls, Tilling, and Molding are seeing increased usage with Water-Based Adhesives and Emulsion gaining popularity due to environmental legislation against Volatile Organic Compounds. The Paper and Packaging industry relies heavily on Adhesives for assembly, with Acrylic and Hot-Melt Adhesives dominating. In the Consumer and DIY segment, there is a shift towards DIY projects for Bathroom floor coverings and Ceiling applications, driving demand for Silicone sealants. Reactive and other technologies, including Polyurethanes and Polysulfide, are popular in industries like Aerospace and defense and Electronics. Raw material prices and manufacturing output are key factors affecting market growth. Wacker, a leading player, dominates the Silicone sealants market. The Hot-melt segment is also growing due to its ease of use and cost-effectiveness. Discount retailers and the Grocery retail sector are major consumers, with packaging segments driving demand.

 Market Challenges

• Adhesives and sealants are essential industrial products manufactured using polymeric materials. Key raw materials for their production include acrylic, silicone, polyurethane, EVA, and others. These materials are often downstream products of crude oil. The price of crude oil significantly influences the cost of adhesives and sealants production. For instance, the Middle East's polyol prices in September 2020 due to the constant rise in polyol prices and the scarcity of cargoes, leading to a decrease in demand for toluene diisocyanate. The US Energy Information Administration anticipates an average Brent crude oil price of USD64 per barrel in Q2 2021, falling below USD60 per barrel by the end of 2022. High crude oil prices in March and April 2021 are primarily due to low crude oil production from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and partners. These price fluctuations impact the cost of adhesives and sealants production, potentially hindering market growth.
• The Adhesives and Sealants market faces various challenges in different industries. In Hot-Melt Adhesives, the main hurdle is the competition from Reactive and Others. In Paper and Packaging, the focus is on reducing costs for discount retailers and the grocery sector, impacting the demand for Adhesives and Sealants. In Building and Construction, manufacturing output fluctuations and the need for lightweight solutions pose challenges. In Woodworking, Automotive and Transportation, and Consumer and DIY sectors, the demand for Adhesives and Sealants remains strong. However, raw material prices, especially for Polyurethanes, Silicone, Plastisol, Emulsion, Polysulfide, Butyl, and Polyvinyl acetate, pose a significant challenge. Industries like Electronics, Medical, and Aerospace and Defense require high-performance Adhesives and Sealants, driving innovation in Polyurethanes, Silicones, and Epoxy-based products. Flexible packaging and Healthcare spending are key growth areas for Sealants, particularly Silicones. The Lightweight Revolution in the Automotive industry is leading to increased demand for automotive vehicles, dashboards, and Acrylic product segment. Wacker's Silicone sealants and Reactive technology in Hot-melt segment continue to dominate the market.
