Engineering Adhesives Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2023-2028
Market Report I 2023-11-02 I 144 Pages I IMARC Group
The global engineering adhesives market size reached US$ 19.7 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 27.7 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8% during 2022-2028. The growing employment for potting and masking purposes in consumer electronics, increasing adoption in the manufacturing of helicopter blades, and rising demand for efficient adhesives represent some of the key factors driving the market.
Engineering adhesives are strong joining substances applied to various surfaces for binding them together. They comprise a liquid formulation that is necessary for easily spreading the adhesives over a surface and making intimate molecular contacts with the substrates. They are monomers when applied on substances and later polymerize to become a high molecular weight polymeric adhesive. Engineering adhesives are used to join a wide variety of materials, such as metals, plastics, rubber, fiber composites, wood, and paper products. These adhesives are capable of joining dissimilar materials to create lightweight yet strong and stiff structures. They offer an improved stress distribution in the joints and impart better dynamic fatigue resistance to the bonded components. They also provide design flexibility, which enables designers to implement novel design concepts by using numerous types of materials. They improve the appearance of the joined structure and offer a blemish-free and smooth texture. They also provide improved corrosion resistance compared to spot welding methods. Furthermore, as they possess high optical transparency or opacity and fast-setting capabilities, the demand for engineering adhesives is increasing around the world.
Engineering Adhesives Market Trends:
At present, the rising demand for engineering adhesives, as they are easy to handle and heat and chemical resistant, represents one of the primary factors influencing the market positively. Besides this, the increasing adoption of engineering adhesives in the manufacturing of helicopter blades is propelling the growth of the market. In addition, the growing employment of engineering adhesives for potting and masking purposes in consumer electronics and other products with electrical properties is offering a favorable market outlook. Apart from this, the increasing utilization of engineering adhesives in the automotive industry to join various vehicular parts, improve vehicle dynamics, and stiffen the overall body structure of cars is contributing to the growth of the market. Additionally, the rising demand for efficient adhesives, such as polychloroprene rubber and urethane, in the manufacturing of commercial and military aircraft and maintaining elastomeric structures is supporting the market growth. Moreover, key market players are manufacturing various high-viscosity variants of engineering adhesives that are efficient in gasketing materials. Furthermore, the increasing demand for plywood for building and construction purposes and in furniture making is bolstering the market growth.
