2. The presence of several automobile giants in Germany makes it the largest consumer of automotive adhesives and sealants in Europe. The country is home to some of the world's leading automotive producers, such as Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, BMW, Porsche, and Audi. These brands cater to international customers and account for a substantial share of the passenger car sales in Europe. Currently, German carmakers are focusing on electric and lightweight vehicles to cut carbon emissions, which is why the consumption of automotive adhesives and sealants is increasing in the country. Due to this factor, the German automotive adhesives and sealants market size will reach $1,156.8 million by 2023 from $891.8 million in 2017. According to P&S Intelligence, the market will exhibit a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period (2018–2023). These materials are used for bonding and sealing purposes in passenger and commercial vehicles. Both adhesives and sealants are chemically similar but functionally different. The usage of these materials enhances the performance, safety, reliability, and driving comfort of vehicles. These adhesives and sealants are available in different types, including epoxy, acrylic, polyurethane, rubber, polyvinylchloride (PVC), silicone, and hot melt. Of these, the epoxy category accounted for the largest share in the German automotive adhesives and sealants market in 2017, as these automotive adhesives and sealants offer resistance to shock, chemicals, and impact and higher-strength bonds. With the increasing demand for high-speed vehicles, especially among the youth, it is important that the automobile absorbs enough shock and doesn’t start to disintegrate.

These materials are used in large quantities during the manufacturing of headlights and signal lights. Additionally, these adhesives are applied during the welding of bumpers in automobiles because of their strong bonding capability, which ultimately strengthens the structural integrity of the vehicles. This makes them suitable for high-speed driving, which has become the trend in the country in recent times, especially since the Autobahn, Germany’s controlled-access highway system, doesn’t have any actual speed restrictions. Additionally, the application segment of the German automotive adhesives and sealants market is categorized into paint shop, under-the-hood (UTH) and powertrain, assembly, and body in white (BIW). In this segment, the assembly category generated the highest revenue for the market in 2017 due to the largescale consumption of automotive adhesives and sealants for assembling automotive components. Moreover, the application of these high-performance 2 © Prescient & Strategic (P&S) Intelligence Pvt. Ltd. All rights reserved

3. adhesion solutions helps in reducing the overall weight of the vehicles, which is important to comply with the new emission limits. Because of the increasing environmental degradation and release of volatile organic compounds (VOC), the German government has implemented several regulations to replace conventional adhesives and sealants with environment- friendly solutions. These eco-friendly variants display high initial adhesion properties and have a limited quantity of VOCs. For instance, water-based acrylic adhesives are an eco-friendly alternative to adhesives with a solvent base. This is why these solutions are being used in a considerable volume during the production of instrument panel dashboards and interior trim parts of vehicles.
