Introduction and demand for electric vehicles in the region to create upswings for market growth
- The growth in the Middle East & African automotive industry has led to the growth of demand for automotive adhesives and sealants. There was an increase in automobile production in major countries of Africa, such as South Africa, which accounted for 0.58% of global vehicle production in 2020 and is expected to grow significantly because of the introduction and demand for electric vehicles in the forecast period 2022-2028. This trend is expected to boost the demand for adhesives and sealants required for automobile manufacture over the forecast period 2022-2028.
- The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 severely affected the automotive industry in the Middle East and Africa because of economic slowdowns and value chain disruptions. However, government support in the form of policies such as a 15% reduction in import duties in Saudi Arabia and lower fuel prices in Middle East countries led to a rapid recovery in demand for automobiles, which increased the demand for automotive adhesives and sealants in 2021.
- The majorly used resins in the automotive industry are epoxy-based, polyurethane-based, and acrylic-based because of their wide compatibility with different substrates such as ceramics, plastics, glass, metals, and composites, which comprise the overall structure of an automobile. Polyurethane resin is used as polyurethane reactive (PUR) adhesives in manufacturing automobiles.
- VAE/EVA adhesives are the fastest-growing technology in the Middle East & African automotive industry. It is expected that these adhesives will register a CAGR of 8.24% during the forecast period (2022-2028) due to the rising trend of hot-melt adhesives over solvent-borne adhesives.
Technological developments in automotive industry to replace bulky metallic frames to aid market growth
- The major automotive companies in the Middle East & Africa, such as Hyundai, are working on making the vehicles light in weight so as to improve fuel efficiency and as cost-cutting measures. To achieve this, automotive adhesives and sealants are used to replace bulkier metallic frames and joinery components such as welding joints, screws, and bolts. This technology development will lead to an increase in demand for automotive adhesives and sealants in mentioned period of 2022-2028.
- The abrupt reductions in revenue and demand for automotive adhesives and sealants in 2020 are due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused an overall economic slowdown and value chain disruptions. Passenger vehicle sales in Africa decreased from 850,000 vehicular units in 2019 to 650,000 vehicular units in 2020. This growth was recovered in 2021 because of government policies that were meant to support the automotive industry, as it covers the major portion of the GDP of a nation.
- The size of the market is determined by the per capita income and population of the region. So based on demographics, more than 75% is covered by countries in the sub-Sahara region, Northern Africa, and the rest of the Middle East countries, which is a larger number of vehicles in the region than that of the rest. The vehicle's count is directly proportional to the automotive adhesives and sealants required to manufacture the same.
- South Africa contains nearly one-fifth of the market share as it is the largest manufacturer of automobiles in the region, which comprise 0.58% of global automobile production.
Middle East & Africa Automotive Adhesives & Sealants Market Trends
Lower interest rates and fuel rates to aid the industry’s growth
- The share of passenger vehicles in a regional automotive market is an indicator of the per capita income in the region. The revenue in the automotive industry declined from 2017 to 2019 owing to a recession in the region. However, post-pandemic, the market recorded tremendous growth potential in 2021. Japanese automobile manufacturer Toyota sold the maximum number of passenger vehicles in the Middle East & Africa, accounting for 10.2% of the market share. The Middle East & African automotive industry is expected to grow in the forecast period 2022-2028 but at a slower pace.
- The crude oil-rich countries in the Middle East, such as UAE, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain, are trying to become production hubs for luxury cars as currently, they are importing the majority of them from European and Asian automotive manufacturers at significantly higher costs. The sales of automobiles in the Middle East were the highest in Saudi Arabia, amounting to 72,572 thousand units of vehicles in 2019. Car imports dropped by 18.4% in 2018 compared to 2017.
- The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the automotive industry, majorly in the African region. Toyota, the largest market share holder in the region, registered a dip in sales of passenger vehicles from 900 thousand units in 2019 to 620 thousand units in 2020. This led to a decrease in the revenue of the whole automotive market in the region. However, government initiatives such as lower auto interest rates and cheaper fuel rates in the Middle East region are expected to lead to the growth of the automotive sector in the forecast period 2022-2028.

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. |
