Market Trends of asia-pacific eva adhesives Industry
Fast paced growth of e-commerce industry in developing nations to augment the industry
- Packaging is mainly used for protection, containment, information, utility, and promotion. This makes packaging an integral part of most industries. In 2017, packaging usage accounted for 2.5 billion ton of packaging, including paper and paperboard and plastic packaging. In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the market registered a negative growth rate of 7.4% due to disruptions in the supply chain, shortage of packaging material, restrictions on the import and export of goods, and factories operating at low capacity.
- Governments of different Asian countries have taken steps to reduce the use of plastic, as China and Indonesia are the first and second-largest contributors to plastic waste in the ocean. China has announced new restrictions on excessive packaging, requiring all food and cosmetics producers to adhere to specific guidelines determining the volume of packaging allowed in proportion to a product. The extended producer responsibility (EPR) regulation imposed by the Indonesian government will oblige producers and retailers to redesign their product packaging to include a higher proportion of recyclable material.
- In 2021, the market registered a positive growth of 8%, with 2.7 billion ton of packaging material used for various purposes. The packaging industry is expected to keep growing due to the rising middle-income population, improvement of supply chains, and rising e-commerce activities, which have significantly boosted the packaging industry in the past few years as special packaging is required for shipping goods. The growing Asian market is expected to boost packaging usage, enabling it to register a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period (2022-2028).

Increasing adoption of electric vehicles to drive the industry
- The Asia-Pacific automotive industry is one of the leading industries in the market, as the sales of automotive vehicles are largely increasing. Among all the countries, China is the largest automotive producer, accounting for about 57% of the regional production, followed by Japan with 17%, India with 10%, and South Korea with 8%.
- Vehicle sales in the region have majorly declined along with production, owing to which the utilization of adhesives has been impacted. While the Y-o-Y variation in 2017-18 was -1.8%, it fell further by -6.4% in 2018-19. In 2019-20, regional production was again impacted negatively and recorded a -10.2% decline from the previous year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The shutdown of manufacturing facilities and the shortage of vehicle components due to disruptions in the supply chain constrained the production level. However, in 2021, the demand for automobiles rose again and is expected to continue, thereby increasing the utilization of adhesives across the region over the forecast period.
- The EV market in Asia-Pacific offers another opportunity for the adhesives market to grow. The rising production and adoption of EVs and hybrid vehicles are boosting the usage of adhesives for electronic component assembly in vehicles. China is the largest producer of EVs globally as well as across the region. From 2016 to 2021, the volume of commercial electric vehicles increased from 562,603 to 1,116,382 units, recording a growth rate of about 98%. These factors are expected to increase the demand for adhesives and result in the higher market growth over the forecast period.
