The global Engineering Adhesives Market is projected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. Engineering adhesives offer various advantages while used for joining materials. As compared to traditional methods such as bolting, welding, brazing and mechanical fastening, engineering adhesives are much feasible for use. There are certain advantage and disadvantages. The joined materials are usually known as substrates of adherends.
Engineering adhesives are commercially used to bond parts of automobiles, electronics, office machines, medical equipment and glass ceramics. Epoxy adhesives are used to seal acrylic, steel aluminum, engineering plastics and composites. The term engineering adhesive generally denotes an adhesive, when hardened, releases a relatively high modulus and high tensile for construction of load-bearing joints.
The drivers for engineering adhesives market include rise in popularity of engineering adhesives for varied purpose and increase in popularity due to its features and aesthetic properties. Rise in transportation, construction and wood industries dominate the market growth during the forecast period. In addition, the market size is also increasing along with entry of new players.
