The global composite adhesive market size is estimated to reach USD 5.08 billion by , registering a CAGR of 5.2% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc.. The incorporation of lightweight materials in the production/ manufacturing of automotives and aircraft is propelling the market growth exponentially. The adoption of composite adhesives is increasing in numerous end-use industries such as automotive, aerospace, and packaging over mechanical fasteners such as nuts & bolts. The use of adhesives instead of conventional equipment offers a reduction in the final product weight, which has become a vital point of interest in aerospace and automotive industries over recent years.
Further, the EV industry is an emerging key end-user of the market, where composite adhesives are finding applications in the production of battery as well as body components, along with other related applications. The rising population and increasing disposable incomes of consumers in these economies are significantly driving automobile production. In addition, a significant rise in the production of EVs is expected to provide a lucrative opportunity for the growth of the global composite adhesives market.
On the contrary, the adhesives market has always been under strict scrutiny from various regional and national level regulatory bodies across the globe. For instance, in the U.S., the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) mandates manufacturers and suppliers of adhesives to comply with the established VOC standards. Furthermore, Air Resources Board (ARB) issued a document for determining Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) to keep a check on pollution caused due to adhesive application. Such regulations and potential threats to the environment can hamper the growth of the global market.
