The automotive adhesives market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.49 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to global population growth and urbanization, rapid growth in ecommerce, favorable government initiatives and focus on electric vehicles (Evs). Major trends in the forecast period include focusing on eco-friendly automotive adhesives, focusing on water-based automotive adhesives, leveraging aluminum adhesive technologies, implementing 3d vision systems and leveraging new technologies for dispensing and preactivation.

Global Automotive Adhesives Market Key Driver

The surge in demand for lightweight, low-carbon-emitting vehicles is anticipated to drive the growth of the automotive adhesives market. Stricter emissions regulations, stemming from increased exhaust emissions, have prompted automobile manufacturers to prioritize the production of lightweight vehicles to mitigate CO2 emissions. Automotive adhesives play a crucial role in replacing traditional fastening methods, such as nuts, bolts, rivets, and welding, making vehicles both lighter and sturdier. This not only enhances fuel efficiency but also reduces emissions. For example, Trading Economics reported that around 12.8 million autos and light trucks were sold in the USA in November 2021. Consequently, the escalating demand for lightweight and low-carbon-emitting vehicles is poised to propel the automotive adhesives market. As of 2023, this market aligns with the described trends, reflecting the sales figures mentioned.

Automotive Adhesives Market Overview

Automotive adhesives are used as binding substances by automotive equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to bond different substrates of metal, eliminating the need for welding and mechanical bolts, welds, and rivets. Adhesives are lightweight components that are used to join metals, composites, plastics, and other materials together. In the automotive sector, adhesives are used to join various automobile components, such as closures and structural modules. Adhesives in automobile assembly successfully and safely solve important applications that have previously relied on mechanical fasteners (e.g., rivets, welds, screws, and clinches) while giving modern automobiles more design freedom and thus improving the aesthetic appeal of automobiles. Automotive adhesives are frequently utilized in sealing, holding, and structural applications in both the manufacturing and aftermarket of automobiles.
