Market Dynamics and Trends
Long term demand from the building and construction sector is expected to drive the market of floor adhesive
The building and construction sector requires different adhesives for applications such as ceramic tile and stone, carpet, flooring underlayment and resilient flooring. According to the World Economic Forum, the construction sector accounts for 6% of the global GDP, or around USD 10 trillion. With increasing population and housing demand, the industry is projected to witness constant growth in the long run, providing opportunities for flooring adhesive companies.
Moreover, rapid industrialization and urbanization in the world because of the growing population have increased the construction industry, which will positively impact the floor adhesive market size during the forecast period.
Stringent environmental regulations regarding volatile Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) emissions are likely to hinder the floor adhesive market
Environmental regulations and specifications from international bodies, federal states, local governments and different NGOs are becoming prevalent. For instance, CARB (California Air Resources Board) regulations and LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification requirements are at the forefront of regulatory issues involving adhesives. Both bodies limit the generation of VOCs and formaldehydes in adhesives. Depending on the amount and type of VOCs emitted, these can disrupt ecosystems and have crippling effects on the environment, such as global warming, acid rain and several other serious health issues.
Market Segmentation Analysis
Based on type, the floor adhesive market is segmented into urethane, epoxy, acrylic and vinyl adhesive.
Urethane adhesive is anticipated to dominate the segment owing to its extensive applications in various substrates such as concrete, wood, plastics and glass.
Urethane adhesives are one of the most important types of structural adhesives. Unlike epoxy or acrylic adhesives, urethane adhesives are formulated with much lower viscosity. Also, urethane adhesives are offered as either one-component (1k) or two-component (2k) systems.
Moreover, Urethane adhesives have low odor, deliver fast or slow cure times, and combine high toughness, flexibility and strength, making them an ideal choice for joining lightweight and structural assemblies. Due to multiple properties, urethane adhesive has a wide range of applications.
Henceforth, with increasing global demand and extensive applications in different industries such as construction, transportation, manufacturing and many others, urethane is projected to dominate the forecast period.
Market Geographical Share
Asia-Pacific dominates the floor adhesive market with the growing construction and infrastructure industries in countries like China and India
Asia-Pacific region dominates the global floor adhesives market share, with growing construction activities in countries such as China, India and other ASEAN Countries. For instance, the Chinese government has massive construction plans, including making provisions for the movement of 250 million people to its new megacities during the next ten years. Over the five years, one hundred smart cities and 500 cities are likely to invite investments worth USD 28.18 billion. Approximately, 9% of India's GDP is spent on infrastructural services. India's government has given enormous momentum to the infrastructural sector by allocating USD 92.22. Hence, with the growing construction activities and infrastructure, floor adhesives' demand is expected to increase over the forecast period rapidly.
