Polyurethanes are extensively used in Two Part Adhesive Market. Two part polyurethane adhesive coating is an electronics grade; unfilled, rapid curing at room temperature; two-component polyurethane adhesive is designed to connect and encapsulate circuit boards, circuit board components and to secure the screw threads. Polyurethanes provide long-term circuit protection and bond stability. Two Part Polyurethane Adhesive coating bonds well to most metals, ceramics, and plastics as well as to epoxy and paper phenolic circuit boards.  Also, the transparency of the Two Part Polyurethane Adhesive allows all encapsulated parts and circuit boards to be examined. Owing to the excellent flexibility at low and high temperatures, UV and moisture resistance, low shrinkage on curing, and excellent adhesion to most substrates without primers the demand for Two Part Adhesive is anticipated to rise in the forecast period. 

Automotive held the largest share in the Two Part Adhesive Market in 2019 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.1% during the forecast period 2020-2025. Two part adhesive is extensively used in the manufacturing of automotive as they provide resistance to vibration, impact, shock, abrasion, and many chemicals as well as superior durability and thermal stability.  Over the past twenty years, the adhesives used in automotive have become ever more sophisticated and capable. This trend was driven by a need to bond new materials that are weight-saving or corrosion-resistant in an environment that is becoming increasingly healthy and cost-conscious. Two part adhesives offer incredible reliability from structural bonding to the assembly of vehicle electronic components, climate control, and chassis/brake applications. Also, owing to the increasing usage of two parts adhesive as it decreases stress concentrations, offers smooth contours, enhances service life or improves performance, and is cost-effective, the market for two part adhesive is anticipated to grow in the forecast period. 

Asia Pacific held the largest share with 52.1% in the Two Part Adhesive Market in 2019. The market for two part adhesives in the APAC region is mainly driven by the ongoing developments in the automotive industry. China has led the adhesive market in the last 2–3 years due to increased vehicle production. It is also the worldwide biggest consumer of two-part adhesives. It is projected that other emerging economies like Brazil, India, and Mexico will have a bright future in this market. China and India are considered to be the biggest consumers of two part adhesives in the APAC region. According to the International Trade Administration, China is the largest vehicle market in the world, with the Chinese government expecting car production to reach 30 million units by 2020, and 35 million by 2025. In 2018, China's specialty auto parts industry reached around $3.5 million, showing an annual growth rate of about 30%. Due to COVID-19 palindrome, there was a sudden decrease in the automotive industry. According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA) the production of vehicles in 2019 in China decreased by -7%, in India, it decreased by -12%, and in South Korea by -1%. It is estimated that after the decrease of COVID-19 palindrome, the production of automotive is going to rise again in the forecast period.

A two-part adhesive may simply be described as ’high-strength glue' which binds components together in a load-bearing structure. Structural adhesives are commonly used for bonding metal-to-metal, metal-to-composite, and composite-to-composite sections in aircraft. Two-part adhesives are most commonly used in joints of thin aerostructures with a well-defined load path. Also, they are used to join thick airframe structures with complex, multidirectional load paths, although the joint is usually reinforced with fasteners such as bolts, rivets, or screws for added strength and safety. Two-part adhesives are also used to bond repair patches to damaged aircraft structures. Hence increasing the use of two-part adhesive in aerospace applications will further drive the market in the forecast era.

Environmental regulations, limitations, and specifications are becoming increasingly prevalent. Volatile organic compounds (VOC) derived from a number of different sources can be found in any indoor environment. Hence the demand for green adhesives is constantly increasing and encourages the application of new ways of sustainability to adhesives and helps to reduce VOCs. Biodegradable adhesives, such as two part adhesives, are designed for breaking down bacteria and other micro-organisms. The degradation process produces environmentally determined water, carbon dioxide, and other natural gases. Also, two part green adhesives are primarily used for paper and packaging, grooming products, envelopes, and medical devices as well which leads to an increase in the market.

Significant rises in prices for basic chemicals and intermediates, reduced supply, and high global demand make adhesive raw materials considerably more expensive. The adhesive industry is concerned about substantial rises in the price of basic chemicals and intermediates, which constitute the chemical basis for a large number of main adhesive raw materials. Changes in the supply or demand balance across the entire chain have a greater effect on the prices of adhesive raw materials. Markets for ethylene and ethylene by-products have tightened, and demand/supply factors varying from chemical to chemical impact the price of most adhesive raw materials more than the world market price of crude oil. The fluctuations in raw material prices also affect the manufacturers' operating margins, which in turn makes it difficult for them to sustain themselves on the global two-part adhesive market. 

Technology launches, acquisitions, and R&D activities are key strategies adopted by players in Two Part Adhesive Market. In 2019, the market of Two Part Adhesive Market has been consolidated by the top five players accounting for xx% of the share. Major players in the Two Part Adhesive Market are H.B. Fuller Company, Henkel AG & Company, BASF SE, Dow Chemical Company, Sika AG, Bostik, Master Bond Inc., among others.
