Electric vehicle adhesive by Vehicle Type (Electric Trucks, Electric Buses, Electric Bikes, Electric Cars), Resin (Epoxy, Silicon, Polyurethane, Acrylics), Application, Form, Substrate, End Use, and Geography-Global Forecast to 2031.
The research report titled, 'Electric vehicle adhesive by Vehicle Type (Electric Trucks, Electric Buses, Electric Bikes, Electric Cars), Resin (Epoxy, Silicon, Polyurethane, Acrylics), Application, Form, Substrate, End Use, and Geography-Global Forecast to 2031', provides an in-depth analysis of the global electric vehicle adhesive market across five major geographies and emphasizes on the current market trends, market sizes, market shares, recent developments, and forecasts till 2031.
The global electric vehicle adhesive market is projected to reach $22.3 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 56.2% from 2024 to 2031.
The growth of this market is driven by the growing demand for EVs, the increasing demand for efficient and advanced bonding solutions in EVs, and the increasing demand for adhesives for EV battery assembly. Furthermore, the increasing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly adhesive solutions and the adoption of autonomous electric vehicles are expected to offer significant growth opportunities for players in the electric vehicle adhesive market. However, the availability of mechanical fasteners may restrain the growth of this market.
The electric vehicle adhesive market is segmented based on vehicles (electric trucks, electric buses, electric bikes, and electric cars), applications (exterior, interior, and powertrain), resin (epoxy, silicon, polyurethane, acrylics, and other resins), form (liquid, film & tape, and other forms), substrate (plastic, composite, metals, and other substrates), and end users (pack & module bonding, thermal interface bonding, battery cell encapsulation, and other end uses). The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyzes the market at the regional and country levels.
Based on vehicle type, the electric vehicle adhesive is segmented into electric trucks, electric buses, electric bikes, and electric cars. In 2024, the electric cars segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global electric vehicle adhesive market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the increasing adoption of electric cars, the increasing need to use lightweight materials in electric vehicles, the growing need for efficient electrical insulation, and the need to prevent critical vehicle components from oxidizing and dielectric corrosions. Adhesive manufacturers are adapting to these evolving requirements and developing specialized products to cater to the electric car industry's needs.
Based on application, the electric vehicle adhesives are segmented into exterior, interior, and powertrain. In 2024, the powertrain segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global electric vehicle adhesive market. There is a rising demand for thermal and electrical insulation adhesives in powertrains to ensure system integrity. Additionally, the trend towards compact and efficient battery packs necessitates tightly stacked battery cells, which can generate higher temperatures within the module. In order to mitigate this, thermally conductive adhesives are used. These factors drive the demand for adhesives for EV applications.
Based on resin, the electric vehicle adhesive market is segmented into epoxy, silicon, polyurethane, acrylics, and other resins. In 2024, the epoxy segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global electric vehicle adhesive market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to its bonding strength, durability, and resistance to chemicals and temperature fluctuations. Epoxy adhesives are commonly used in pack and module bonding, motor assembly, and structural bonding in EVs. Their strong mechanical properties and reliability make them suitable for demanding EV applications.
Based on form, the electric vehicle adhesive market is segmented into liquid, film & tape, and other forms. In 2024, the liquid segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global electric vehicle adhesive market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to its advantages, such as ease of application, adaptability to different surfaces and geometries, and strong bonding properties. Liquid adhesives are commonly utilized in battery assembly, motor assembly, sealing, and general component bonding in EVs.
Based on substrate, the electric vehicle adhesive market is segmented into plastic, composite, metals, and other substrates. In 2024, the plastic segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global electric vehicle adhesive market. This segment's large market share can be attributed to the extensive use of plastic and carbon fiber materials in various EV components due to their lightweight properties, versatility, and cost-effectiveness. These materials are commonly found in interior trims, exterior body panels, battery enclosures, and other non-structural parts. Adhesives play a critical role in bonding these plastic components, ensuring they provide strength and structural integrity. These adhesives are formulated specifically for plastic bonding and offer excellent adhesion and durability across different types of plastics.
Based on end use, the electric vehicle adhesive market is segmented into pack & module bonding, thermal interface bonding, battery cell encapsulation, and other end uses. In 2024, the pack & module bonding segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global electric vehicle adhesive market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to its applications in securing and assembling the battery modules and packs in an electric vehicle. Adhesives are used to bond the individual battery cells together, provide mechanical support, and create a stable and robust battery pack structure. Furthermore, the growing demand for electric vehicles and the increasing need for high-performance, compact, and reliable battery systems contribute to the significant market share of this segment.
Based on geography, the electric vehicle adhesive market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. In 2024, Asia-Pacific is expected to account for the largest share of the electric vehicle adhesive market. Asia-Pacific is the fastest-growing market for electric vehicles. Countries like China, Japan, and South Korea have seen significant adoption of EVs, driven by government incentives, supportive policies, and a strong focus on reducing carbon emissions. The surge in EV production and sales directly translates to a higher demand for EV adhesives. Asia-Pacific is a major manufacturing hub for the automotive industry, including electric vehicles. Many leading EV manufacturers and suppliers have production facilities in countries like China and Japan. These facilities require a substantial supply of adhesives for various EV components, creating a robust market for EV adhesives in the region.
