A sealant is a semi-solid substance used to avoid leakage, whereas an adhesive is a chemical mixture used for the contact between two materials. For both adhesives and screening additives, the processes and formulations are identical and are used in a number of applications. Both are known to be part of an enterprise, but in specific applications their implementations are distinct. Owing to its high tensile and shear strength, the adhesives are used for applications pertaining to retaining and binding. The sealants have a higher resilience, but are smaller than the adhesive in terms of strength, and they are used for resistance to relative substrate changes and to fill holes.

The report provides analysis of global Adhesives & Sealants market for the period 2016-2027, wherein 2020 to 2027 is the forecast period and 2019 is considered as the base year.

Market Dynamics

Growing adoption of lightweight motor cars with higher fuel performance and lowered emissions has powered worldwide sales of high-quality sticks. These adhesives are used for various automobile applications both indoors and outdoors. By replacing nuts and bolts, they can decrease weight and therefore increasing the fuel consumption of cars. As a result, improved adhesives with superior bonding capacities will replace conventional welding and other mechanical bonding methods.

Regional Stance

Asia Pacific held significant market share in 2019 and projected to govern the market amid the projected time span. The emergence of developing markets and promoting policies in the region would make Asia Pacific one of the main contributors. For example, the government of India's Make in India campaign seeks to increase passenger car production throughout the world to 9.4 Mn by 2026. However, the market for adhesives and screening products in Asia-Pacific is projected to experience tremendous growth over the forecast period due to rapid economic growth and urbanization in India and China. Demand growth is also driven by growth in numerous national end-use industries. The demand for modern buildings and business complexes with glass exterior is rising, which in turn drives growth on the global market for adhesives and sealants market.
