Market Trends of north america automotive adhesives & sealants Industry
Government initiatives for electric vehicles to support the automotive production
- North American automotive is one of the prominent sectors which helps to generate above 3% of its economy. Among all the 3 countries, the United States is the largest automotive producer, covering more than 65% of shares, followed by Mexico with 23% of shares and Canada with 8% of shares.
- Vehicle sales in the region have majorly declined its overall production, owing to which the utilization of adhesives is impacted. In 2017-18 and 2018-19, the variation change has been recorded from -0.2% to -3.7%. Moreover, in 2019-20, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, regional production has been largely impacted. The shutdown of manufacturing facilities and the shortage of vehicle components due to disruption in the supply chain tend to constrain the production level. In terms of variation, the region has recorded about a 20% decline. However, in 2021, the demand for automotive is rising, which, on the other hand, may increase the utilization of adhesives across the region.
- The EV market in North America is another opportunity for adhesives to grow. The rising production and adoption of EVs and Hybrid vehicles tend to raise the usage of adhesives for electronic component assembly in the vehicles. The United States is one of the largest producers of EVs globally as well as across the region. The federal government's goal in the United States is for EVs to account for 50% of new passenger vehicles and light truck sales by 2030. Simultaneously, a number of particular states have announced more aggressive targets. These factors tend to increase the demand for adhesives and will result in better growth in the forecast period.
