Market Dynamics

Global Structural Adhesives and Sealants for EV Batteries Market Drivers

  • Rise In Market Growth as A Result of Environmental Awareness

To help mitigate climate change, the automotive E-Vehicle industry is constantly striving to develop vehicles that are both lightweight and fuel efficient. Around the world, governments are enforcing strict limits on CO2 emissions of all types. CO2 emissions from electric vehicles can be reduced by using adhesives. Structural integrity is provided by the use of these adhesives in automobiles. Because of their versatility, they can adhere to a wide range of surfaces. Adhesives for Electric Vehicles are also more environmentally friendly, quieter, and safer than mechanical fasteners including soldering, bolting, and welding. Structural adhesives are recognized to transmit loads evenly across a surface, leading to improved efficiency than mechanical fastening, which causes local stress in parts linked. At this time, an automobile uses an average of about 15 kg of adhesives each vehicle. Over the next few years, this figure is anticipated to rise. This is a key driver for the market growth of the global Structural Adhesives and Sealants for EV Batteries Market.

  • Government Initiatives to Promote Electric Vehicles and Environmental Sustainability

The Clean Energy Ministerial founded the Electric Vehicles Initiative (EVI) in 2010 as a multi-government policy forum to promote the global acceptance and deployment of electric vehicles. It is imperative to take preventative measures and act on minimizing carbon footprints through damaging emissions on the planet in light of environmental challenges such as global warming.

Incentives like tax exemptions, government subsidies, and additional benefits are being offered by several governments to encourage the use of electric vehicles. In 2017, the German federal government set aside USD 230 million for research and development into electric mobility. It's predicted that by 2020, about 1 million electric vehicles will be on German roads, with 29 distinct electric car types now on the market. This is expected to increase the need for E-vehicles and Structural Adhesives and Sealants for EV Batteries across the globe.

Global Structural Adhesives and Sealants for EV Batteries Market Restraints

  • A Low Proportion of Electric Vehicles on The Road Relative to The Number of Charging Points

Approximately 150,000 charging stations may be found in a total of 75,000 different sites across the globe, as stated by the Open Charge Map, which is a global public record of the locations of charging stations for electric vehicles. According to the IEA's Global Electrical Vehicles (EV) Forecast 2018, more than one million electric vehicles were sold in 2017, with China accounting for more than half of all sales on a global scale. As a result, the number of charging stations relative to the number of electric vehicles already on the road is quite low. When compared to the number of charging stations established in developed nations, developing regions including Latin America and the Middle East and Africa have a lower total number of charging stations deployed. Because of this, it is anticipated that the sale of electric vehicles would slow down, which will have a negative impact on the demand in the global structural adhesives and sealants market for electric vehicle batteries.

Global Structural Adhesives and Sealants for EV Batteries Market Key Future Opportunities

  • Increased Environmental Awareness and Technological Advancement Will Create New Opportunities in the Future

EV Batteries Structural Adhesives and Sealants are widely used in the automotive sector. For electric vehicle batteries, demand for structural adhesions and sealants has risen as automakers have increased their criteria for these adhesives and sealants. To name a few uses: connecting comparable and dissimilar materials; replacing traditional substrate materials with synthetic ones. Electric car adhesives are seeing an uptick in demand due to a growing consciousness about environmental issues. As a result of their high level of vibration resistance, electric vehicle adhesives handle a variety of engineering and design concerns. As a bonus, they are extremely light and disperse stress more evenly. The development of electric vehicle technology relies heavily on the use of adhesives and sealants. In terms of battery cells, modules, packs, and motors, they are expected to remain at the forefront of innovation.

Regional Analysis

The Global Structural Adhesives and Sealants for EV Batteries Market is segmented by geography into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa.

Asia-Pacific is the Dominant market among all other regions. With 52.2% of total volume, the Asia-Pacific region led the global Structural Adhesives and Sealants for EV Batteries Market in 2019. Rapid development and a surge in automotive industry demand for adhesives are expected to keep this area highly lucrative during this projection period. A major reason for this is that China is the world's largest manufacturer of electric automobiles.

China, South Korea, and Japan are all experiencing strong growth in the Asia Pacific electric vehicle adhesives market, thanks to the expansion of several industries like as construction, automobiles, and electronic appliances. Among the countries that produced the most lightweight automobiles in 2017 were China, South Korea, and Japan.

Chinese manufacturers account for a significant portion of the Asia-Pacific market for global Structural Adhesives and Sealants for EV Batteries. It is projected that the market in the country would grow significantly in the near future. India and China have seen an increase in the demand for electric car adhesives due to the rapid expansion of their infrastructure and construction industries. India is expected to invest heavily in infrastructure development in the foreseeable future. Foreign investors are showing a strong interest in the Indian automotive sector, which is growing rapidly.

An increase in EV manufacturing investment is predicted to make North America the fastest-growing area. According to LG Chem, a subsidiary of LG Electronics, the company plans to develop a second battery manufacturing plant in the United States in 2019. Major corporations like GM and Volkswagen rely on LG Chem, one of the industry's leading battery makers, for their battery needs. The facility is scheduled to commence production in 2022. The region's increasing battery and electric vehicle production is likely to propel the market's expansion.

In Europe also, adhesives are projected to be in high demand in the coming years as electric car production and promotion continues to rise. For example, the Arrival, an EV manufacturing firm in the United Kingdom, has a goal of making electric vehicles as affordable as gasoline-powered vehicles.
