Sealants and adhesives are extensively used in the packaging sector to securely bond materials such as cardboard, paper, and plastic and ensure product protection throughout the supply chain. Around 300 billion boxes are sealed using 500,000 tons of hot melt adhesive globally. As packaging volume increases globally due to the rapid growth of sectors such as consumer goods and e-commerce, the demand for sealants and adhesives is surging.
The increasing vehicle production is boosting the use of adhesives and sealants for weatherproofing, noise reduction, and bonding components such as interior panels, windshields, and automotive body parts. 85.4 million motor vehicles were manufactured globally in 2022, witnessing a y-o-y surge of 5.7%. As the automotive sector shifts towards fuel-efficient and lightweight vehicles amid rising environmental consciousness, the demand for adhesives to provide reliable and strong bonds as alternatives to traditional fasteners and welding is expected to surge.
The increasing interest in renewable energy amid the growing trend of sustainability is boosting the sealants and adhesives market revenue. Adhesives and sealants are crucial for assembling and manufacturing components of wind turbines and bonding photovoltaic cells, modules, and frames in solar panels. While power generation from solar PV surged by 270 TWh in 2022, wind electricity generation increased by 265 TWh. This growing renewable energy generation is driving the development of high-performance and advanced adhesives that can meet its rigorous performance standards.

Sealants are used to seal the gaps between substrates and joints to prevent environmental elements like water, dust or dirt from entering the structure. Adhesives are used to join together two surfaces by adhesion. Adhesives have higher strength than sealants while sealants have higher flexibility and lower shrinkage ability as compared to adhesives. Sealants are paste like in consistency which allows them to fill the gaps between surfaces and are usually made with an elastomer giving them improved flexibility and elongation properties. Adhesives, on the other hand, usually come in a liquid form, which solidifies upon application, and have superior durability and rigidity as compared to sealants.
Adhesives can be segmented into:
