The survey made by U.S.consulting firm among 17 countries about the European Structural Adhesives Market shows that,the European Union develops new energy sources and promotes low-carbon economic policies have brought a spring to the industry development.At the same time, REACH regulations will promote the adhesive product upgrade.It’s estimated that the European Structural Adhesives Market size will reach 1.08 billion euros by 2015.
The structure adhesive on the European market are: polyurethane adhesive, epoxy adhesive, cyanoacrylate adhesive, acrylic resin adhesives, anaerobic adhesives, phenolic adhesives and so on. In Europe, the formulators closer to the end user, a number of high-performance structural adhesive is usually provided directly to end users. And distributors are mostly active in the sales volume of the market, such as the construction industry and industrial assembly industries, but the specific conditions varied by country.
The higher performance structure adhesive gradually favored by the market. The development of more heat-resistant adhesive meets the new demands of each market segment, such as the carmakers expect new material more heat-resisting to get closer to the engine group. In addition, there’s also high durability requirements of the market, generally require to maintain at least 20 to 50 years, but only a small number of adhesives can be maintained more than 20 years. Epoxy adhesive ability of anti-aging in the aircraft industry has been proven, the durability of phenolic adhesive which is widely used in the wooden arch bridge can also last for 45 years.
Environmental regulations issue continuously will affect the growth of structural adhesives and forced manufacturers to seek new green alternative materials. At the same time, REACH regulations’ implement will lead to adhesive manufacturers cannot meet the customers’ needs in a period of time, until an alternative product which complies with regulatory requirements appears. For example, commonly used in aircraft manufacturing epoxy adhesive, in the EU REACH legislation on raw materials were classified as disabled. In addition, the economic situation in Western Europe continuing uncertainty of the new residential project, the started in 2008 decreased by 3.5%,and it continued to decline 2.2% in 2009.It’s estimated will gradually recover till 2012. The uncertain factors influence the sustainable development of building adhesive market in a lagre extent.
