2. New market research Report on “Adhesives and
Sealants” added to ReportsnReports.com
US demand for adhesives and sealants will rise 2.2 percent per year to 9.8 billion pounds
in 2017, valued at $11.9 billion. Natural adhesives and sealants will remain the largest
product segment, while reactive and hot melt types grow the fastest. Solvent-based
products will also do well based in part on reformulation efforts to lower VOC emissions.
This study analyzes the 8.8 billion pound US adhesives and sealants industry. It presents
historical demand data for the years 2002, 2007 and 2012, with forecasts for 2017 and
2022 by product (e.g., natural adhesives and sealants, emulsion and dispersion, hot melt,
reactive, solvent-based) and market (e.g., packaging, manufacturing and assembly,
construction, consumer).
The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates
company market share, and profiles 35 industry players such as Henkel, HB Fuller, and
RPM International.
US demand to rise 2.2% annually through 2017
US demand for adhesives and sealants will grow 2.2 percent per annum to 9.8 billion
pounds in 2017, valued at $11.8 billion. Gains will be driven by a better outlook for major
adhesives and sealants markets such as paper packaging, motor vehicles, and building
construction, following the recession-plagued 2007- 2012 period. Demand will also benefit
from trends toward increased usage of adhesive bonding compared to alternative joining
technologies, such as mechanical fasteners, in product assembly applications. However,
advances will be limited by trends toward high solids formulations and lower application
weights, as well as market maturity and sluggish growth in a number of leading
applications.

Reactive adhesives, sealants to exhibit fastest advances
Natural adhesives and sealants will remain the largest product type through 2017, accounting for nearly
40 percent of demand. However, natural products will also see the weakest gains going forward, as the
bulk of demand consists of low value starch adhesives used in corrugated cardboard production, a
highly mature and slow growing application. The most rapid advances are expected for reactive
adhesives and sealants, fueled by the rebounding manufacturing market, as well as product substitution
trends toward higher value materials. Hot melts will also see healthy gains, as their amenability to fast
processing speeds will promote opportunities in the packaging market, in addition to their lack of volatile
organic compound (VOC) emissions. Despite decades of losing share to alternative formulations,
solvent-based adhesives and sealants will see above average gains in demand, bolstered by a
turnaround in the construction sector and product reformulation efforts to lower VOC emissions.
Construction to be most rapidly growing market
Among adhesives and sealants markets, the fastest growth is forecast for construction, which will
rebound strongly from the sharp declines of the 2007-2012 period. Construction is a particularly
important outlet for sealants, which are widely used in both building and nonbuilding applications. The
large packaging market, which accounted for nearly 60 percent of adhesives and sealants demand in
2012, will exhibit the slowest gains, hampered by weakness in the dominant paper packaging segment.
In the manufacturing and assembly market, fastest growth is expected for tapes and labels, motor
vehicles, and machinery, while nonwoven disposables, furniture, and smaller volume outlets such as
bookbinding will rise at a subpar rate. Nearly all markets, however, will see an improvement in adhesives
and sealants demand from the performance of the 2007-2012 period.
