Automotive Adhesives & Sealants Market by Type (Polyurethane, Acrylics, Epoxy, Silicone, Polyamide), by Vehicle Type (Passenger Cars, LCV, H/MCV), by Application (Body-in-Weight, Powertrains, Drivetrains, Embedded System), and by Region - Forecast till 2030

Automotive Adhesives and Sealants Market Overview 

Automotive Adhesives & Sealants Market is projected to be worth USD 11,645.8 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.11% during the forecast period (2022 - 2030). Adhesives, often known as glue, cement, mucilage, or paste, are any organic or inorganic chemical compound that is applied to one or both of the surfaces to be brought together. Adhesives can be found in nature or synthesized artificially. Over binding procedures such as thermal bonding, mechanical fastening, sewing, and others, the application or usage of adhesives confers various advantages to the finished product. Apart from that, some of the most important qualities of these adhesives include their capacity to effectively distribute stress throughout the joint, bind diverse types of materials together, and improve the end product's design flexibility. Unlike adhesives, sealants are a material that is used to prevent liquids from passing through joints or gaps in the structure. Depending on the type, they can be permanent or temporary, weak or robust, flexible or rigid. Some sealants, referred to as structural sealants or adhesive-sealants, have adhesive properties. Automotive adhesives and sealants are rapidly being used in a variety of applications, including interior, exterior, under-the-hood parts, and embedded systems, among others.
