China's Adhesives & Sealants Market Drives Investments

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--China's role as a growing global manufacturing market has led to a significant increase in the manufacturing of adhesives and sealants. Owing to the heightened demand from the building and construction industry, these key materials are being used extensively in carpeting, tiling, wallpapers and insulating glass. As the world's largest construction market, accounting for 20% of worldwide construction investment, China is investing significantly in the production of adhesives and sealants.

Apart from the construction industry, demand is further propelled by the packaging industry, with China emerging as the largest global packaging market. Additionally, the country's distinction as world's top exporter of footwear and its growing furniture market have led to more bonding and joinery. Some of the other factors, including general aviation opportunities in the aerospace industry, growth in electric vehicles and use of automation and robotics, contribute to this demand.

Despite a post-COVID slowdown in economic and construction activity, the country's national development targets like China Standards 2035, Made in China 2025, the Belt and Road initiative, and the New Infrastructure initiatives are expected to boost construction, which in turn is expected to further strengthen the demand for adhesives and sealants.

Industrial Info is tracking more than 160 active projects worth almost US$7 billion aimed at adhesives and sealants manufacturing in China. About 75% of this spending is geared toward grassroot developments while 23% is focused on unit additions. Maximum spending (more than US$3 billion) is concentrated in the provinces of Jiangxi, Jiangsu and Anhui.
