Increasing usage of epoxy adhesives in the automotive applications to boost the market growth
- Epoxy adhesives are thermosetting resins that demonstrate high strength and low shrinkage during their curing time. These adhesives are tough and resistant to chemicals and environmental damage. Moreover, epoxy adhesives offer excellent adhesion to various substrates, superior resistance solvents, and good electrical insulation.
- The consumption of epoxy adhesives shrunk by 12% in 2020 compared to 2019, mainly due to the adverse impact of COVID-19 in many countries, including Germany, Italy, France, and the United Kingdom. Production was hampered in these countries owing to the lockdowns, supply chain disruptions, and economic slowdown, which resulted in a decline in the consumption of epoxy adhesives as well. Moreover, the economic recovery in the countries caused to rise in the production of epoxy adhesives in 2021 by registering a growth of 8% in terms of volume.
- Germany has accounted for the highest market share of nearly 21% for epoxy adhesives in the region, followed by France and Russia. The trend will likely continue in the upcoming years owing to the constant growth in demand from the automotive and construction industries. Automotive has witnessed the largest consumer industry of epoxy adhesives in the region owing to the rising electric vehicle production. Epoxy adhesive is mainly used in structural applications and gives the highest tensile strength, around 35-41 N/mm², among all other resin-based adhesives to bond metal, glass, and plastic. However, the other end-user industries will likely capture the major market share in terms of volume at the end of 2028 due to the rising applications in the major sectors such as electronics and electrical appliances, locomotive, and marine. Such a trend will drive the demand for epoxy adhesives in the coming years.

Increase in usage of epoxy adhesives in the automotive industry to boost the market growth
- Epoxy adhesive is one of the most widely used materials due to its remarkable adhesiveness, physical properties, and damage tolerance. The majority of epoxy resins are derived from petroleum chemicals such as bisphenol A glycidyl ether. Their essential constituents are non-renewable, and the final products are impossible to degrade and recycle under even the mildest conditions, resulting in severe waste contamination. Water and steam have less impact on epoxy adhesive compounds than other matrix materials, as they have higher corrosion resistance. Their main disadvantages are the comparatively high cost, the lengthy cure period, and the difficult handling. Recently, new research introduced the production of green epoxy adhesives, which are produced from soybean oil. These adhesives are expected to witness higher adoption due to their sustainable properties, which as a result, may upsurge their demand over the coming years.
- Olin Corporation, one of the largest producers of epoxy resins, announced the temporary curtailing of its integrated epoxy production at its Stade, Germany, facility. During Q2 2022, Olin experienced weaker epoxy resin demand in Europe than anticipated, exacerbated by uncertainties following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. This factor reduced the production of epoxy adhesives in the region and also limited their availability, which, as a result, has increased the price of epoxy adhesives across the region.
- Across all the end-use sectors, automotive is the leading consumer of epoxy globally, holding a share of about 27.4%, followed by building and construction, healthcare, aerospace, and woodworking, with shares of approximately 16.2%, 12.3%, 9.1%, and 9%, respectively.
Europe Epoxy Adhesive Market Trends
Supportive government initiatives to promote electric vehicles will raise the industry size
- Europe has a GDP of 34,230 USD per capita with a growth rate of 1.6% y-o-y in 2022. The automotive industry sector contributes a percentage of around 2% of the total GDP. The European vehicle production comprises 81% passenger vehicles, 17% commercial vehicles, and 2% other vehicles in 2021.
- In 2020, many European countries were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, including Germany, Italy, Spain, Russia, and the United Kingdom. The pandemic resulted in supply chain disruptions, lockdowns in the countries, and chip shortages which affected automotive production in Europe. The production of vehicles sharply declined by 22% compared to 2019.
- The United States imports 25.3% worth of cars from Europe and became one of the leading importers of the United States, where Germany accounted for 10.3% and the United Kingdom for 4.7% of total imports of vehicles in the country in 2021. At the beginning of 2022, the sale of the new vehicle dropped by 20.5% due to the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, which reflected in vehicle production as well. In the first quarter of 2022, the European automotive market was down by 10.6% compared to the same period last year.
- Vehicle production is likely to grow with a CAGR of 2.25% during the period (2022 to 2027) due to the new investments being made in electric vehicles by many European countries. For instance, Spain is going to invest USD 5.1 billion in electric vehicle production.

Rapid growth of new construction along with rising need for renovation activities will drive the industry
- The overall revenue of construction showed a steep decrement in 2020 because of the impact of the pandemic situation due to COVID-19, which led to an overall recovery slowdown and social distancing measures on work sites.
- The overall revenue of the construction sector in Europe grew tremendously, with the highest year-on-year growth in 2021 compared to that of 2020 because of the initiatives and measures taken by the EU Commission, such as the infusion of EUR 750 billion for all sectors under the COVID recovery plan named Next Generation EU. Under the Next Generation EU plan, the construction sector received the maximum investment because of the European objective of green and digital transition in buildings which led to growth in the annual renovation rate of existing buildings and structures.
- As per the EUROCONSTRUCT report, among the segments of the European Union based on political geography, Central and Eastern Europe are expected to register a CAGR of 6.4%, followed by Western Europe at a CAGR of 6.1% in 2022-2024.
- The policymakers at European Union and national level are prioritizing the construction of new buildings and conversion of existing buildings to be energy efficient through various policies including Energy Performance of Buildings Directive and others. These policies will lead to an increase in overall revenue for construction in the forecast period.

- Resin - Under the scope of the study, one component and two component based epoxies are considered
- Technology - For the purpose of this study, Water-borne, Solvent-borne, Reactive, and UV Cured adhesive technologies are taken into consideration.
| Keyword | Definition |
|---|---|
| Hot-melt Adhesive | Hot melt adhesives are generally 100% solid formulations, based on thermoplastic polymers. They are solid at room temperature and are activated upon heating above their softening point, at which stage they are liquid, and hence, can be processed. |
| Reactive Adhesive | A reactive adhesive is made up of monomers that react in the adhesive curing process and do not evaporate from the film during use. Instead, these volatile components become chemically incorporated into the adhesive. |
| Solvent-borne Adhesive | Solvent-borne adhesives are mixtures of solvents and thermoplastic, or slightly cross-linked polymers, such as polychloroprene, polyurethane, acrylic, silicone, and natural and synthetic rubbers (elastomers). |
| Water-borne Adhesive | Water-borne adhesives use water as a carrier or diluting medium to disperse a resin. They are set by allowing the water to evaporate or be absorbed by the substrate. These adhesives are compounded with water as a diluent, rather than a volatile organic solvent. |
| UV Cured Adhesive | UV curing adhesives induce curing and create a permanent bond without heating by using ultraviolet (UV) light or other radiation sources. An aggregation of monomers and oligomers is cured or polymerized by ultraviolet (UV) or visible light in a UV adhesive. Because UV is a radiating energy source, UV adhesives are often referred to as radiation curing or rad-cure adhesives. |
| Heat-resistant Adhesive | Heat-resistant Adhesives refer to those that do not break down under high temperatures. One aspect of a complicated system of circumstances is the adhesive's capacity to withstand disintegration brought on by high temperatures. As the temperature rises, adhesives may liquefy. They can withstand stresses resulting from differing coefficients of expansion and contraction, which might be an additional advantage. |
| Reshoring | Reshoring is the practice of moving commodity production and manufacturing back to the nation where the business was founded. Onshoring, inshoring, and back shoring are further terms used. Offshoring, the practice of producing items abroad to lower labor and manufacturing costs, is the opposite of this. |
| Oleochemicals | Oleochemicals are compounds produced from biological oils or fats. They resemble petrochemicals, which are substances made from petroleum. The oleochemical business is built on the hydrolysis of oils or fats. |
| Nonporous Materials | Nonporous materials are substances that do not permit the passage of liquid or air. Nonporous materials are those that are not porous, such as glass, plastic, metal, and varnished wood. Since no air can get through, less airflow is required to raise these materials, negating the requirement for high airflow. |
| EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement | A trade agreement and an investment protection agreement were concluded between the European Union and Vietnam on June 30, 2019. |
| VOC content | Compounds with limited solubility in water and high vapor pressure are known as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Many VOCs are human-made chemicals that are used and produced in the manufacture of paints, pharmaceuticals, and refrigerants. |
| Emulsion Polymerization | Emulsion polymerization is a method of producing polymers or connected groups of smaller chemical chains known as monomers, in a water solution. The method is often used to make water-based paints, adhesives, and varnishes, in which the water stays with the polymer and is marketed as a liquid product. |
| 2025 National Packaging Targets | In 2018, the Australian Environment Ministry set the following 2025 National Packaging Targets: 100% of the packaging must be reusable, recyclable, or compostable by 2025, 70% of plastic packaging must be recycled or composted by 2025, 50% of average recycled content must be included in packaging by 2025, and problematic and unnecessary single-use plastic packaging must be phased out by 2025. |
| Russian Government’s Import Substitution Policy | The Western sanctions suspended the distribution of several high-tech items to Russia, including those required by the raw material export sectors and the military-industrial complex. In response, the government launched an "import substitution" scheme, appointing a special commission to oversee its implementation in early 2015. |
| Paper Substrate | Paper substrates are paper sheets, reels, or boards with a base weight of up to 400 g/m2 that has not been converted, printed or otherwise altered. |
| Insulation Material | A material that inhibits or blocks heat, sound, or electrical transmission is known as Insulation Material. The variety of insulation materials includes thick fibers like fiberglass, rock and slag wool, cellulose, and natural fibers as well as stiff foam boards and sleek foils. |
| Thermal Shock | A temperature change known as thermal shock generates stress in a material. It commonly results in material breakdown and is especially prevalent in brittle materials like ceramics. When there is a quick temperature change, either from hot to cold or vice versa, this process occurs abruptly. It occurs more frequently in materials with poor heat conductivity and insufficient structural integrity. |
