Epoxy Adhesives For Automotive Market Segment Analysis – By Type

The two-component segment held the largest share with 42% in the Epoxy adhesives for the automotive market in 2021 and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period 2022-2027. Two-component is widely preferred for structural adhesives due to its high strength property. They offer various advantages such as vibration & shock resistance, fast curing at ambient temperatures, long-term durability, strong adhesion to different substrates, and dimensional stability among others. These are some of the major properties driving the demand for a two-component type segment. According to the data published by Jerry a car insurance company, in 2020, electric car sales made up just 2% of new automotive sales in the U.S., compared to 10% in Europe and 6% in China. According to European Environment Agency, Electric car registrations in 2020 were close to 1,325,000 units, up from 550,000 units in 2019.

Epoxy Adhesives For Automotive Market Segment Analysis - By Engine Type

The ICE engine type segment held the largest share with 92% in the epoxy adhesives for the automotive market in 2021 and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period 2022-2027. Internal combustion engines (ICE) are the most common form of heat engines, as they are used in vehicles, boats, ships, airplanes, and trains. They are named as such because the fuel is ignited in order to do work inside the engine. Epoxy adhesives are used in different applications during car manufacturing they are used in chassis, glassworks, body in white among others, In the automotive industry adhesives are used for joining seats, spoilers tailgates, and side skirts, bumpers, headlights, and dashboards, among others. The electric engine segment is expected to grow at a high CAGR during the forecast period. Many car manufacturers are slowly replacing ICE engines with electric engines. According to the BMW organization, the company plans to invest 400 million euros ($475 million) for a manufacturing line for electric vehicles in place of those with conventional engines at its historic Munich factory.

Epoxy Adhesives For Automotive Market Segment Analysis – By Geography

Epoxy Adhesives For Automotive Market Driver

Growing Demand for Lightweight and Low Carbon-Emitting Vehicles

Epoxy Adhesives are generally used in the automotive industry for bonding different components. Modern lightweight design requires new bonding technologies in addition to new materials to decrease the weight of the vehicle. Automotive manufacturing companies have been involved in the use of multi-material joining with structural adhesives to lower vehicle weight, fuel consumption, and carbon dioxide emissions. Epoxy adhesives provide structural advantages for bonded components. Structural bonding adhesives offer stable bonding and increase the overall efficiency and effectiveness of a conventionally joined structure. Epoxy adhesives are used in joining non-weldable and/or heat-sensitive components and materials, joining various metallic and non-metallic substrates with regard to avoiding galvanic corrosion, and also reducing cycle times and costs by reducing spot welds. The major economies are majorly concentrating and reduction of on co2 emissions, so the automobile manufacturers are investing hugely in developing lightweight vehicles. According to the US Department of Energy (DOE), the total vehicle's weight is being reduced by 10% by manufacturers to increase fuel economy. According to Hedges Company review, the United States has around 17.55 million light vehicles registered in 2020. They also mentioned, Toyota company has registered around 2,112,940 units of light vehicle sales in the US during 2020-2021.

Increasing Demand for Non-Hazardous, and Sustainable Adhesives

Epoxy adhesive is an extremely strong adhesive, used for building automobiles, bicycles, boats, and other products that require high strength bond. Epoxy is safe for the user, and it doesn't emit toxic fumes. It may leach small quantities of hardeners and other toxic compounds through hydrolysis. Bio-based epoxies are a relatively new class of bio-sourced resins that are produced from renewable sources such as unsaturated vegetable oils, saccharides, tannins, and cardanols, among others. Hence growing demand for sustainable adhesives from the automobile industry is driving the market for epoxy adhesives.
