Market Trends of europe epoxy adhesive Industry
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.
