Industry Insights

The South East Asian polyurethane adhesives market demand was 44.0 kilo tons in 2012. The growth of major end-use industries such as automotive, footwear, construction, and packaging is expected to drive the regional PU adhesives market over the next six years. Vietnam is one of the largest manufacturers of footwear in the world. Recently, leading footwear manufacturers have shifted their manufacturing bases to Vietnam from China and Bangladesh on account of cheap labor costs. This has impacted on the nation’s demand for PU adhesives. Increasing construction spending, particularly in Vietnam, Indonesia, and Thailand is also expected to have a positive influence on the regional PU adhesives market growth. The emergence of Thailand and Indonesia as a major automobile manufacturing hub has also created new demand for PU adhesives in the region. Leading manufacturers have been forming partnerships with major end-use industry participants. Henkel one of the leading PU adhesives, manufacturers in the world, has been working with more than 80 direct customers linked with the automotive industry in Thailand. Thailand’s automotive industry has been growing at a tremendous pace and is pronounced to be “Detroit of the East” on account of its growing popularity as a major automobile hub. Volatility in petrochemical-based raw materials coupled with stagnant production levels to meet the domestic demand is expected to remain a key challenge for market participants over the next six years. The shift in consumer trends towards the development of bio-based polyols is expected to yield opportunities for market participants. Biobased polyols along with providing a clean solution also provide a substitute raw material supply stream for PU adhesives manufacturers.
