The global market for Automotive Adhesives & Sealants is accelerating as vehicle manufacturers prioritise lightweight design, multi-material assemblies, and improved safety. Adhesives and sealants are being used more extensively to bond metals, plastics, composites and glass—reducing reliance on mechanical fasteners, lowering vehicle weight, and enabling sleeker designs. This shift is particularly relevant for exterior body panels, structural bonding, and sealing joints against weather and vibration.

In parallel, the rise of electric vehicles (EVs) is creating new applications for automotive adhesives and sealants: battery enclosures, electric motor housings, and thermal management systems all require high-performance bonding and sealing solutions. The trend toward reduced emissions and stricter safety mandates further drives demand. As a result, the market for Automotive Adhesives & Sealants is positioning itself as a key enabler of modern automotive innovation.
