DUBLIN—Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Automotive Adhesive and Sealant Market Size, Share, Development, Growth and Demand Forecast to 2020" report to their offering.
Automotive adhesives and sealants are the products, which help the automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) bond different substrate of metal, hence eliminating the need for welding and mechanical rivets. Adhesives and sealants are new in the automotive industry, with welding and mechanical riveting being the major technologies utilized currently. However, automotive adhesives and sealants are making strong inroads in the industry, as the OEMs identify the benefits of materials and related cost savings, which can be achieved by using the same. The current levels of usage of these materials range from 30 pounds to 40 pounds per vehicle (13.6 kg to 18.0 kg).
The automotive adhesive & sealant market is growing at a significant rate, due to the fuel economy regulations, vehicles safety standards and regulations, and increasing focus on the usage of lightweight materials. The use of lightweight materials within the automotive industry is a practice to improve fuel efficiency. Lightweight materials being used by the automotive industry include plastic, composites and aluminum, which are replacing the use of steel by automotive manufacturers. However, the focus on increasing fuel efficiency is not affecting the prime motive of automotive manufacturers i.e. safety. Research and development is going on to develop new technologies and tools, which can be used to design vehicles having better fuel efficiency and safety. Unlike steel or cast iron components, lightweight materials can't be welded or bolted to keep them together. In order to maintain the integrity of lightweight vehicles, the usage of adhesive and sealants is getting increased by automotive manufacturers across the globe. F150 truck by FORD is an example of lightweight vehicle. The increasing production of lightweight vehicles is anticipated to boost the growth of the global automotive adhesive and sealant market during the forecast period.
The key companies operating in the global automotive adhesive & sealants market include Dow Chemical Co., Henkel AG & Co. KGaA, 3M Company, Kommerling, PPG Industries, Inc., Permatex, Krayden, Inc., and Sika AG.
