Growing EV production in Germany to augment the use of sealants
- The German sealants market is driven by the construction industry, followed by other end-user industries due to the diverse application of sealants in building construction, such as waterproofing, weather-sealing, cracks-sealing, and joint-sealing. The German construction industry obtained nearly 5.9% of the country’s GDP, propelling the demand for sealants in the coming years. The increasing growth of residential construction projects due to the shortage in housing facilities and ongoing renovation works will augment the sealants demand in Germany during the forecast period.
- A variety of sealants are widely used in electronics and electrical equipment manufacturing for potting and protecting materials. They are used for sealing sensors and cables, etc. The German electronics market is the sixth largest in the world, generating 2.6% (2021) of revenue share, which is likely to grow in the upcoming years. This, in terms, will foster the demand for sealants in the other end-user segment.
- Germany has achieved significant development in the healthcare and automotive industries over the decades. Sealants are used in applications in healthcare, such as assembling and sealing medical device parts. The automotive industry exhibits significant applicability of sealants to various substrates, such as glass, metal, plastic, and painted surfaces. These are mostly used in engines and car gaskets. Germany has registered about 23% of the market share in terms of the production of premium cars in 2021. German automotive and OEMs focus on manufacturing electric vehicles to reduce carbon emissions and maintain vehicle weight to meet the industry standard. These factors will augment automotive and OEM production in the near future, which gradually influences demand.
Germany Sealants Market Trends
The government initiatives towards infrastructure including digital parks and hospitals to boost the construction industry
- Construction accounts for 11% of total industrial production output. The construction industry in the country is growing at a slow pace, majorly driven by increasing new residential construction activities. German construction companies are benefiting from soaring demand for real estate, increased investments in buildings, and higher state spending on infrastructure. The upswing in construction has been encouraged by the European Central Bank’s ultra-low interest rates, a growing urban population, and high immigration over the past five years. The sector is also helping to propel overall economic growth.
- In 2021, the construction market in the country registered a 1.99% growth rate compared to the previous year. The German government has initiated the construction of the Digital Park Fechenheim on 10.7 hectares of area, with a gross floor area of 100,000 m2 in Frankfurt-Fechenheim, Hesse, Germany, with an investment of USD 1,179 million. The construction work started in Q3 2021 and is expected to be completed in Q4 2028. In the third quarter of 2021, the country started the construction of the Central Hospital in Lörrach, Baden-Wuerttemberg, with an investment of USD 418 million, and it is expected to be completed by 2025. The project aims to build a center for mental health and a medical department store with a parking garage.
- The growth is likely to be supported by lower interest rates, increased real disposable incomes, and numerous investments by the European Union and the German government. Therefore, with the non-residential and commercial buildings in the country expected to witness significant growth prospects, the construction industry in the country is likely to increase during the forecast period.
Despite the government regulations on carmakers, electrical vehicles demand is likely to propel the automotive industry
- The automotive manufacturing industry is the most important industry in Germany, and 24% of the domestic industry revenue is generated from this industry. Automotive production in Germany declined by 9.4% in the third quarter of 2018, as the country experienced an economic slowdown in the second half of 2018, coupled with the problems in the implementation of the new Worldwide Harmonized Light-Duty Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP).
- Over 75% of the automotive units manufactured in Germany are destined for international markets, which are mainly the United States, China, and other EU countries. The trade conflicts between the United States and China sapped away the global demand in 2019. This, coupled with the new EU-28 standard of CO2 emissions, which mandates carmakers to achieve average CO2 emissions of 95 grams per kilometer across newly-sold vehicles, has briefly restricted automotive production in the country.
- In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic hit hard on the already declining automotive production. In 2020, automotive production fell by 24.5% Y-o-Y, and the supply chain constraints that quickly followed, coupled with the semiconductor chip shortage in 2021, have further declined automotive production by 10.8% compared to 2020 levels. The long-lasting effects of chip shortages and supply chain restrictions are expected to restrict automotive production in Germany in the forecast period. The German government's e-mobility plan aims to achieve 15 million EVs on the road by 2030. This is expected to drive up automotive production in the country. Due to all these factors, Germany's automotive production is expected to increase during the forecast period.

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. |
