Key Findings in the Adhesives & Sealants Study:

Water-Based Formulations to Remain the Largest Product Type Through 2022

Water-based adhesives and sealants are expected to remain the largest product type for adhesives and sealants, supported by their widespread use across a variety of applications. The ongoing shift to products with fewer volatile organic compounds will further support growth, as concerns regarding the environmental and health impact of potentially dangerous chemicals present.

Reactive Adhesives and Sealants Will Offer the Best Opportunities

Reactive formulations will provide robust opportunities through 2022, boosted by gains in construction markets, in particular nonbuilding construction, and the continued displacement of solvent-based adhesives and sealants to meet environmental regulations. Demand for natural adhesives and sealants is expected to stagnate, as manufacturers continue to demand better performance profiles than provided by natural products.

Manufacturing and Assembly Applications to Post the Largest Gains in Demand

The manufacturing and assembly market is forecast to post the fastest gains through 2022, with demand buoyed by the growing use of novel composite materials and plastics in the manufacture of motor vehicles and other transportation equipment that require higher-value adhesives and sealants. Increased spending on transportation infrastructure construction, maintenance, and repair will boost demand for adhesives and sealants in the construction market. Packaging applications will see below-average gains, with demand restrained by stagnant paper and paperboard packaging production.

Study Coverage

This study presents historical demand data (2007, 2012, and 2017) and forecasts for 2022 by product, including water-based, reactive, hot melt, solvent-based, natural, and other adhesives and sealants. The study also evaluates US adhesives and sealants by market (packaging, manufacturing and assembly, construction, tapes and labels, and consumer and other markets.
 

This study covers the US market for adhesives and sealants. Demand is analyzed by product class, including:

  • water-based – polyvinyl acetate, acrylics, vinyl acetate-ethylene, styrene-butadiene latex, polyvinyl alcohol, other water-based
  • reactive – silicones, polyurethanes, epoxies, polysulfides, other reactive
  • hot melt – ethylene vinyl acetate, polyethylene, styrene block copolymers, thermoplastic polyurethane, other hot melts
  • solvent-based – elastomers, polyvinyl acetate, vinyl chloride polymers, other solvent-based
  • natural – starch and dextrin, protein adhesives, cellulosics and other natural
  • other adhesives and sealants – bituminous, sodium silicates, polyvinyl butyral

 

In addition, adhesives and sealants demand is analyzed by market, including:

  • packaging – paper and paperboard packaging, plastic and other packaging
  • manufacturing and assembly – motor vehicles, aerospace and other transportation, furniture, machinery, electrical and electronic, nonwoven disposables, other manufacturing and assembly
  • construction – residential building, commercial building, nonbuilding construction
  • tape and labels
  • consumer and other
