Increasingly strict environmental regulations worldwide are pushing the automotive industry to adopt greener and more sustainable solutions. As a result, there is a growing demand for adhesives and sealants that have lower VOC (volatile organic compounds) emissions and are made from biobased or renewable resources. These regulations drive manufacturers to develop and use more eco-friendly products in order to comply with the standards and reduce their carbon footprint.

Shift towards Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Solutions: As environmental concerns continue to grow, there is a significant trend towards using eco-friendly and sustainable adhesives and sealants in the automotive sector. Manufacturers are increasingly focusing on developing products that reduce carbon footprint and use biobased or renewable resources. Water-based adhesives, in particular, are gaining popularity due to their greener and less harmful nature compared to solvent-based alternatives.

The North America region dominated the automotive adhesives and sealants market. This dominance can be attributed to several factors, such as a well-established automotive industry, stringent emission regulations, and a strong focus on adopting advanced technologies. Additionally, North America is home to several major automotive manufacturers and suppliers, which further contributes to the significant demand for adhesives and sealants in this region.
