Adhesive Equipment Market Segment Analysis - By End Users

Construction is expected to witness a highest CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period, owing to the growing building construction activity and the production of durable goods such as furniture, machinery, appliances and more. Funds are anticipated to be focused on investments in transportation, water, energy and telecommunications. These programs would have a straight influence on the chemicals sector, predominantly the Adhesives divisions involved in the bonding layer for floor fixing between the existing floor and the substrate applications. According to The American Society of Civil Engineers estimates, $3.6 trillion investment will be needed through 2025 to fund airports, highways and other infrastructure in U.S. According to the office for National Statistics, monthly construction production in Great Britain increased by a record of 23.5 percent in June 2020, significantly higher than the previous record monthly growth of 7.6 percent in May 2020, here the adhesives are mixed with cements and used in joints.

Adhesive Equipment Market Segment Analysis - By Geography

Adhesive Equipment Market in Asia-Pacific region held a significant market share of 39.7% in 2020. Growth in the E-Commerce sector, Retail shops, technological advancements and boom in the construction sectors set to drive the Adhesive Equipment Market here. The main drivers are (1) the robust economic growth that improves people's ability to purchase a better home; (2) the government effort in pushing for home ownership; and (3) the belief that properties are one of the best investments that provide good returns. As a result, property demand remains strong, which helps to escalate the sales of Adhesives in the developing countries such as China, India and others. The residential construction market to remain the largest market over the forecast period and account for 67% of the total value in 2023, supported by the government’s plan to stabilize the housing market by building affordable public housing and increase the supply of rental public housing in the country. All these factors are analyzed to boost the market growth in the forecast period.

Adhesive Equipment Market Drivers

• Growth of Infrastructural Activities resulting in adoption of adhesives:

The growth of the infrastructural activities due to the modernization of the developing countries have resulted in significant growth of the adhesives. In Singapore, total construction demand is set to boost in the forecast period led by public sector building projects including public housing, as well as private sector projects such as the continued redevelopment of en bloc residential sites and berth facilities at Jurong Port and Tanjong Pagar Terminal. The construction sector accounts for about 4 per cent of Singapore's total gross domestic product. The government of New South Wales (NSW) has eased restrictions on construction sites, allowing work on weekends as well as on public holidays, and announced a first tranche of US$5.1 billion of shovel-ready construction projects, including the Snowy Hydro 2.0 project and construction of 4,441 new houses in the year 2019-2020, giving the boost to the Adhesive Equipment market.

• Growth of Automotive sector where adhesives are used:

The adhesives are highly resistant to chemical substances such as fuels, oils and hydraulic fuels where they are used to tighten and seal fasteners and gaskets along with electrical component in automotive sector. In North America, automotive consumption is a major component of Canada’s manufacturing sector, accounting for large shares of cross-border trade, manufacturing sales and manufacturing gross domestic product. Like manufacturing as a whole, production in Canada’s automotive sector fell sharply during the last recession, but has rebounded in the post-recession period, as consumer demand for new motor vehicle has increased since 2009 both in Canada and the United States. Moreover, automakers from all around the world are planning to set up auto spare parts manufacturing units in this country which will consequently propel the demand for Adhesives Equipment in the forecast period 2021-2026.

Adhesive Equipment Market Challenges:

• Higher Expenses, Slower Packaging and product damage challengers:

The packaging manufactures face many challenges related to the adhesives such as temperature extreme challenges, product damage challenges, slower packaging challenges and others as some of the adhesives perform better at extremely high temperatures and moisture levels, while others are better suited for cold temperatures and low humidity levels. These factors are supposed to hinder the growth of the market.
