Curing adhesives are reactive materials that require a chemical reaction to convert them from liquid (or thermoplastic) to solid. Once cured, these adhesives generally provide high strength, flexible to rigid bond lines that resist temperature, humidity, and many chemicals. 

Curing Adhesives Market Dynamics 

The major growth drivers for this market are growth in the production of light commercial vehicles and passenger cars and an increase in the demand for lightweight materials.

Currently, automotive manufacturers are using more lightweight components such as plastics and composite materials. These materials work well for reducing the weight of a vehicle and improving fuel efficiency. But on the other side, they also present a challenge during the assembly process. When have to integrate a non-metal component into a metal component, the manufacturer needs to bond the parts together using a powerful adhesive that will propel curing adhesives market growth.

However, fluctuating raw material prices hinder market growth.
