What are Elastic Adhesives & Sealants?

Elastic adhesives and sealants are versatile materials that exhibit flexibility and resilience upon curing. Composed of polymers such as polyurethane or silicone, these substances provide durable bonds and effective sealing in various applications. They maintain elasticity even after curing, accommodating movement and vibration in bonded surfaces. Elastic adhesives are widely used in construction, automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing industries for bonding and sealing joints, gaps, and substrates. Their ability to withstand dynamic stresses, temperature variations, and environmental exposure makes them essential for applications where flexibility and durability are crucial, contributing to the longevity and performance of assembled components.

Market Drivers

The growth in various end-use industries such as industrial, construction, and automotive & transportation bolstered the demand for elastic adhesives & sealants, which in turn, is likely to drive the market during the forecast period.

By Resin Type

The market is segmented into PU, silicone, Silane-modified polymers (SMP), and others. Polyurethane is expected to hold the largest share of the market during the forecast period. PU-based elastic adhesives and sealants provide high toughness, abrasion resistance, flexibility and strength, low cure temperature, excellent low-temperature resistance, high environmental resistance, and adhesion to various substrates. Depending on the structure of the thermoset or elastomer and curing techniques, PU adhesives can be elastic or rigid. They are moisture-sensitive and have relatively high shear and peel strength. Due to their high elongation properties and stronger bonding, PU adhesives are used in bonding windscreens and windows of passenger cars, trucks, tractors, and special vehicles. They also find applications in bonding fiberglass-reinforced plastic elements such as roof, side, and frontal panels.

By End-Use Industry and Application Type

The elastic adhesives & sealants market is segmented as construction, industrial, and automotive & transportation. Automotive & transportation is estimated to be the fastest-growing segment of the market during the forecast period. Elastic adhesives & sealants are used in places that require moderate adhesion but high elongation. The use of elastic adhesives with their multi-function properties decreases the number of separate processing stages, thus facilitating a more streamlined production operation for vehicle manufacturers. They are used for various applications in automobiles, such as front glass windshield, side glass, and car body. Further, with the use of lightweight and elastic bonded materials, the customer earns fuel savings. These factors are expected to drive the demand for elastic adhesives & sealants in the automotive & transportation segment.

Regional Analysis

In terms of regions, Asia-Pacific is estimated to be the fastest-growing elastic adhesives & sealants market during the forecast period, with China, Japan, India, and Indonesia being the major countries with lucrative growth opportunities. The increase in demand from various packaging industries and improving economic conditions are the major factors for the promising market of the Asia-Pacific region. Factors such as new product innovations, new research and development projects, and the increase in demand from different end-use industries have also significantly contributed to the increasing demand for elastic adhesives & sealants in the Asia-Pacific region. North America and Europe are also expected to offer substantial growth opportunities during the forecast period.
