Solvent Borne Adhesives Market Segment Analysis – By Resin Type

Chloroprene rubber held the largest share in the global solvent-borne adhesives market in 2020. Chloroprene rubber can stand at low temperatures at the range of -12°C to -46 C° and at the range of high temperature Up to 121 C°, which makes it very useful for the automotive world. Chloroprene rubber is widely used in various constructional application such as window gaskets & seals, highways & bridges seals, deviator pads, and so on due to excellent abrasion resistance and tear resistance. Thus, owing to such properties the demand for solvent-borne adhesive resin types is anticipated to increase over the forecast period.

Solvent Borne Adhesives Market Segment Analysis – By End-Use Industry 

Building & construction sector held the largest share in the global solvent-borne adhesives market in 2020 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.6% during the forecast period 2021-2026. Solvent-borne adhesives or a mixture of crosslinking polymer used as decorative materials for wood panels, PVC tiles, and concrete which is further used in constructional applications. Also, polyacrylates are widely used in construction to provide a bond between decorative floor coverings and ceramic tiles adhesives. Thus, the rising consumption of adhesives from the construction sector is expected to drive market growth. According to the US Census Bureau, new housing unit construction was 11,471 thousand units in 2019 in the United States, which reached 3,642 units in 2020. Moreover, according to the Federal National Mortgage Association, housing starts were expected to jump with 1 million new homes in 2021. Additionally, according to the Indian Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the real estate market of India is expected to grow USD 1 trillion by 2030. Hence, with the rising use of polyacrylates owing to their alluring properties, the market is also anticipated to rise in the forecast period. 

Solvent Borne Adhesives Market Segment Analysis – By Geography 

Europe held the largest share with 30% in the global solvent-borne adhesive market in 2020. The demand for solvent-borne adhesive is driven mostly by the increasing production of automotive in economies, such as Germany, Italy, Spain, and others. These adhesives are used for joints of vehicle parts and gaskets. It helps to reduce the weight of automotive vehicles. Thus, the rising demand for lightweight vehicles is expected to increase the demand for solvent-borne adhesives during the forecast period. According to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA), automobile manufacturers operate some 226 vehicle assembly and production plants in the European Union. According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Production (OICA), automotive production in Spain (passenger cars and commercial vehicles) increased by 2822355 units in 2019 compared to 2819565 in 2018. Thus, the rising production of automotive is anticipated to grow the solvent-borne adhesives market. 

Solvent Borne Adhesives Market Drivers

Increasing Demand from Footwear Industry

Solvent-borne adhesives are used in the footwear industry due to various properties such as excellent bond strength and resistance to temperature. These are used for sports shoes and leather shoes, thus growing demand for more comfort, and trending lifestyle are accelerating the demand for footwear.
