Growing Demand for Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Adhesives & Sealants
India's adhesives and sealants industry is seeing a powerful transition towards eco-friendly and sustainable products. Due to growing environmental legislation and customer consciousness, businesses are emphasizing water-based and bio-based adhesives that decrease volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. The demand for sustainability is prompted by sectors including packaging, building, and automobile, where companies are embracing ecofriendly options in order to compete on a global level with regard to sustainability standards. Further, government policies that are driving green buildings and ecofriendly materials are also speeding up the call for non-toxic and biodegradable adhesives. Consequently, bio-based polymer adhesive innovations and solvent-free systems are on the rise. For example, in February 2024, Pidilite Industries rolled out the "Galti Sudharne ka Mauka De" campaign for Fevikwik Gel, highlighting its accuracy and additional setting time for instant fixing, reaffirming Pidilite's innovation in the adhesives segment. Moreover, key companies are making significant investments in research and development (R&D) to create high-performance yet eco-friendly adhesives. Such a trend is likely to persist with sustainability emerging as the major discriminator in the competitive Indian adhesives and sealants industry.
Rising Adoption of High-Performance Adhesives in Automotive and Construction
The construction and automotive sectors are leading the high-performance adhesives and sealants demand in India. Due to growing urbanization and infrastructure growth, construction adhesives are being highly utilized for structural bonding, flooring, and insulation uses. In the automotive business, the lightweighting trend along with the transition to electric vehicles (EVs) is driving demand for sophisticated adhesives that substitute conventional mechanical fasteners. These performance-enhancing adhesives contribute to vehicle strength, lightening the weight of vehicles, and energy efficiency. For instance, Henkel Adhesives Technologies India has commissioned Phase III of its facility in Kurkumbh, near Pune, with a new Loctite plant to cater to the increasing demand in India for high-performance adhesives, sealants, and surface treatment solutions. The expansion enhances local production by Henkel, lessening dependence on imports and supporting strategic industries. Additionally, other innovations, including polyurethane and epoxy-based adhesives, are highly being used because of their higher bonding capacity and resistance to high temperatures and chemicals. Government emphasis on developing infrastructure, smart cities, and low-cost housing projects also contributes to accelerated demand for advanced adhesives in the construction industry. With India's industry and infrastructure continuing to expand, high-performance adhesives and sealants will be a key player in several applications.
Technological Advancements Driving Product Innovation
Technological innovations are transforming the Indian adhesives and sealants market, triggering the creation of next-generation products with enhanced performance and efficiency. Some of these technologies include nanotechnology-based adhesives, reactive hot melts, and hybrid polymer sealants that are emerging as industry leaders. These innovative formulations provide higher bonding strength, shorter curing time, and higher resistance to water, heat, and chemicals. In industries such as packaging and electronics, intelligent adhesives with conductive and thermal management functions are on the horizon of being game changers. Moreover, automation of adhesive application procedures, including robotic dispensing systems, is enhancing accuracy and minimizing material wastage. Businesses are also utilizing digital solutions for predictive maintenance as well as quality control in adhesive production. With an increasing focus on high-performance materials, India's adhesives and sealants market is poised to experience technological advancements guiding the future in terms of presenting better solutions for various industrial purposes.
