Growth in the Asia Pacific region has significantly outpaced the other regions, and thus promising strong market growth and lead the market for adhesives and sealants.  A growing middle class in Asia-Pacific (particularly China) has generated strong demand for automotive and packaging materials thus driving the demand market for adhesives and sealants.

Rapid urbanization and population growth propels growth in infrastructure & construction activity in Asia thus also boosting growth of adhesives and sealants market.  Asia Pacific attracting investments for localized production, R&D and product development, to enable efficient and faster reaction to customer requirements, and maintain long-term competitiveness in this sector. 

Stringent regulations and measures to reduce the impact of volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) and other potentially hazardous materials on the environment and health is pushing the adhesives and sealants to adapt to this requirement.  The ongoing conversion of solvent-based adhesives to water-based adhesives for certain applications is an example of this trend.  However, the higher raw material costs and doubtful product performance hinders the rate of adoption, particularly in this price elastic Asia region.  More stringent environmental regulations and improved quality and economics will need to be addressed to boost the growth of waterborne or green adhesives and sealants.
