Adhesives & Sealants market size was valued at US$ 51,745.3 Mn in 2017, growing with a CAGR of 4.9% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2026. Adhesives hold at least two substrates together in a strong and permanent manner, whereas, sealants performs the same function but also fills the gap between two substrates to prevent the passage of air, water and/or chemicals. Adhesives and sealants are often made of similar materials and sometimes used in similar applications in end-use industries such as paperboard & packaging, automotive & transportation, building & construction, woodworking & joinery, etc.  Water-based adhesives is the largest segment because of their versatility and moderate price, followed by solvent-based adhesives. Consumption of solvent-based adhesives is declining in developed countries owing to strict VOC emission regulations. However, rise in shoe manufacturing industry particularly in China supporting the segment growth during the forecast period. Silicone dominated the Sealants market by resin type followed by polyurethane resin-based sealants. Polysulfide sealants are losing market share to polyurethane-based sealants.

Paperboard & Packaging holds the largest share of Adhesives & Sealants market by end-use industries during 2017-2018. In paperboard & packaging industry, adhesives & sealants find its application in the wide variety of paper bonding ranging from corrugated box construction and the lamination of printed sheets to packaging material used for all types of consumer products to the production of large industrial tubes and cores used by manufacturers of role goods and other materials.
