The usage of adhesives helps in reduction of weight of vehicles, which further boosts the fuel efficiency and overall performance of vehicles. This has resulted in rapid adoption of adhesives over mechanical fasteners in automotive industry. Also, they are increasingly being used in electric vehicles, which is anticipated to fuel the market growth further.

Adhesives including acrylic, polyurethane, epoxy, and rubber are widely used in body in white, exterior, and interior applications. Body in white is the raw framework of the vehicle, which utilizes a major quantity of adhesives. The product enhances the strength of the body frame while reducing the use of spot welding.

Polyurethane is the most widely used adhesive in the automotive industry, followed by acrylic and rubber. As compared to epoxy and acrylic, polyurethane adheres to a wider range of substrates. In terms of revenue, acrylic segment is anticipated to register a growth rate of 4.8% over the forecast period.

The product consumption is increasing extensively in developing economies with the growth in the production of heavy commercial vehicles. HCV & MCV segment is expected to register the fastest growth rate of 5.6%, in terms of revenue, over the forecast period owing to their increasing production in the Americas and Asia Pacific. Initiation toward adoption of electric vehicles, technological innovation, and developments in the manufacturing industry are further projected to boost the product demand. For instance, in February 2019, the Government of India approved the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid & Electric Vehicles (FAME)-II scheme for funds worth USD 1.39 billion from 2020 to 2022.

The automotive adhesives market is competitive owing to the presence of significant players such as 3M, Bostik, H.B. Fuller, Henkel, Sika AG, and Wacker Chemie AG, among other regional players. Mergers & acquisitions, development of new technologies, and capacity expansions are the various strategic initiatives adopted by industry players to maximize their growth.

For instance, in April 2019, PARKER HANNIFIN CORP entered into an agreement to acquire LORD Corporation for USD 3.68 billion. The acquisition was aimed at fulfilling the company's objective to invest in profitable and growing businesses such as engineered materials.
