The global automotive adhesives market size reached USD 6.4 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, the market is expected to reach USD 13.5 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3% during 2025-2033. Rising demand for lightweight vehicles, advancements in adhesive technologies, increasing electric vehicle (EV) production, stringent emissions regulations, growth in emerging markets, surging sustainability trends, and advancements in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) technologies are some of the factors stimulating the market growth.
Automotive adhesives refer to fluid substances used to bind composites, metals, plastic and materials together. They are commonly available in solvent-based, water-based and hot melt variants that contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Automotive adhesives are manufactured of ethylene, amine-based resins, propylene, epoxide, acrylics, polyester resins, vinyl acetate monomer and synthetic materials. They are widely used to bond and seal interior and exterior components of an automobile, such as door panels, light covers, armrests, dashboards, lenses, chassis, headliners, consoles, and door skins. They aid in easing automation, ensuring strong bonds, minimizing drying time, and enhancing cohesive strength and corrosion resistance. Automotive adhesives also assist in improving crash performance, minimizing noise vibration, reducing vehicle mass, and increasing front and rear lateral body stiffness.
