Market Analysis
The film adhesives market is driven by increasing applications in aerospace, automotive, and electronics industries, where adhesives ensure durability and resistance to wear, heat, and environmental factors. The aerospace sector, with Airbus and Boeing delivering 565 and 411 aircraft respectively by November 2022, relies on film adhesives for bonding aircraft components. The automotive industry, particularly electric vehicles (EVs), boosts demand for adhesives to enhance vehicle performance. However, volatile crude oil prices, impacted by global crises like the Russia-Ukraine war and production cuts in Saudi Arabia, disrupt supply chains and increase production costs. Innovations in sustainable adhesives and growing electronics manufacturing, such as India’s projected US$ 400 billion electronics industry by 2025, are key growth catalysts.
Segment Analysis
The market is segmented by resin and end-use industry. Epoxy resin dominates due to its eco-friendly nature, high mechanical and chemical resistance, and use in vehicles, aircraft, and consumer goods. The electricals and electronics segment leads end-use applications, driven by demand for bonding components in smartphones, laptops, and smart home devices, offering protection against vibration and corrosion. The aerospace sector is significant, using adhesives for interior and exterior aircraft components, while the automotive sector grows rapidly, especially in EVs. East Asia holds a 25.7% market share in 2023, with strong growth in consumer electronics and automotive manufacturing.
Country-wise Insights
China, with a 7.0% CAGR, leads East Asia’s market, driven by its robust automotive and electronics sectors. India’s automotive market, projected to reach US$ 54.8 billion by 2027 with a 9.0% CAGR, fuels demand for film adhesives, supported by government initiatives for domestic manufacturing. Brazil’s growing EV market, with over 0.1 million vehicles including 50,000 electric buses, creates opportunities for adhesives to enhance vehicle durability. The U.S. and Germany also drive demand due to advanced aerospace and electronics industries, with the U.S. benefiting from high consumer electronics adoption and Germany from its automotive manufacturing strength.
