Industry Insights

[195+ Pages Report] The global adhesion promoter market is set for rapid growth over the forecast period. In terms of revenue, the global adhesion promoter market accounted for USD 3,200 Million in 2019 and is anticipated to reach around USD 4,960 Million by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 6.4% through 2026.

Market Overview

Adhesion promoters also known as coupling agents are used to strengthen the bond between the substrate and the coating. They help to improve the affinity between the two surfaces during the process of adhesion. In case the compound is not fully compatible with a certain substrate, adhesion promoters also help to promote the chemical fastening action.

Industry Growth Factors

The increasing demand from the automotive industry and the rising use of adhesion promoters in composites are expected to drive the adhesives and sealants market. Due to emerging applications such as printed circuit boards, demand for adhesion promoters is expected to rise. This is enabling companies to increase their adhesion promoter output. Furthermore, the convenient supply of raw materials is expected to raise adhesion promoter demand in the near future. Technological advances are emerging in the global adhesion promoters industry. Companies are still looking for innovative and improved adhesion promoters. The adhesion promoters market is expected to be propelled by the development of new manufacturing processes and applications. Plastics and polymers have also seen a significant increase in automotive applications, as they help to decrease the weight of vehicles and thereby lead to energy conservation during transportation. In the near future, the global adhesion promoters market is anticipated to be driven by the demand for adhesion promoters from the automotive industry for adhesion of plastic and polymer components. However, environmental issues about certain adhesion promoters are likely to restrain the global adhesion promoters market.

COVID-19 Impact

COVID-19's outbreak in 2020 has had an impact on the global economy and market scenario in major industries around the world. The limitation in industrial operations, trade practices, supply-chain uncertainty, and other events in global lockdown has resulted from the pandemic scenario. During this situation, adhesion promoter markets main end-use sectors, such as automotive, construction, engineering, and packaging, were also impacted. The economy has been affected by a drop in oil prices and delays in new pipeline completion, lower demand from the automobile industry, and a partial freeze in construction activities across the globe for a few months in 2020. As a result of slow demand from end-use sectors, the high-growth adhesion promoter industry is projected to slow down in 2020. The economy, on the other hand, is improving, and businesses have resumed operations with limited capability and in accordance with government guidelines. From the beginning of 2021, all end-use industries are projected to be fully operational, resulting in strong demand for adhesion promoters. As a result, the demand is expected to grow at a rapid rate over the forecast period. Several applicants in the automotive, construction, packaging, and electronics sector have endorsed the usage of adhesion promoter products as it can ideally enhance the product offered by many. In increasing sales, making things more recognizable and appealing to a buyer plays a critical role. This also serves to show in the shop the range of items or product combinations available.

During COVID-19 lockdowns, the adhesion promoter industry faced both a supply and demand crunch. If COVID-19 infections spread across the workforce, plant capacity may be harmed unless appropriate preventative measures are taken. The lockdown slowed the manufacturing of the adhesion promoter. Due to the lockdown, the supply of finished goods and the procurement of raw materials were also hindered in the supply chain and logistics. Because the majority of the adhesion promoter industry's production workforce is employed in on-site jobs that cannot be performed remotely, the industry may be particularly vulnerable. Furthermore, given the nature of the industry, businesses may need to consider how to generate social distancing in workplaces where workers are often crowded. Trade limitations, market fluctuations, production chain disruption, unpredictable demand, and workforce shortages are estimated to affect the chemical industry as a whole.
